Seriously bad ass. 510 content.

[FTMFL]

I got this from another forum and thought I should share, I personally think this is one of the most original things I've seen in a while and I doubt it's a repost. It says he did all of this by himself so I give him his dues right there. The whole thing is copy and pasted, didn't edit anything.

well finally its over and running...
i just score a 1970 510 2 years ago...and last year i had the chance to get a salvage s2000...mmm lets see what are my options??? a bastard swap it is...!
yep, a bastard swap! i receive some hate, but also some love too...lol
i had a guy who just came to me on a datsun meet just to tell me he didnt like my swap...
i think every to their kind, but i would rather play a little more..so why not? gts on f20, s13 on vq's , EG on K series.. why not a 510 with f20c?
here's the tale:
I would like to share my bastard swap just for kicks...
i started when finally bought my datsun 510 around september '06,
then had to sell my recently finished built boosted crx, early 07...
then i had the chance to get a 01 ap1 to part it up; and around April 08 the 510 adventure started.
to be honest i was really scared if i would chop away a decent 510 and throw away complete s2000.
but well here it is...
probably you already saw it on HT, but just in case you miss it...
heres the sacrifice i made, to sell my crx ! hoo well i may get another one later


*cry*
enough teary memories.!
heres how i got it..
picked it up at gardena, and drive it back to the valley...
wich was a trip, because i was used to working brakes ...
brakes needed at least 30 ft to stop..and even pressed all the way the car still slides...!


here's the donor...an nice s2k



then pulled both motors out ... no funny work doing alone...


lifting the dime to test the sucker down...


after some clean up and paint anti-rust cosmetic stuff..


then i to became a plummer
ordered some things piping things and fuel adapters..




then motor went in.

then some wiring mayhem! a 30'ish old wiring mixed with the new..!

used the stock fuel tank with the s2k fuel pump...also had to re-route the gas lines and the brakes lines had to be made too...
custom accel pedal, prop valve location and a lousy buggy hand brake who tends to slide ...
cleaned the subfloor and layed a new coat of bedliner

ordered some honda stuff...
rsx-s muffler...

new clutch, custom driveshaft, sway bar from mad dat.. etc.
and after some weekends....
then after some time i got it off jacks to check the clearance..


the oil pan cleared 'bout 4" ! that meant i passed " bumps 101 ".
and finally.


still some work ahead, tuning, paint and also making my mind if ITB's would be a good idea to; upgrade hand brake, look for a stiffy suspention etc.
i short tale the building pics because it was a messy job to do the brake swap, eclipse suspention, 280zx front brakes, s2k seats brackets, evo arm rest, s2k cluster bezel etc...
wanted to share progress so far.....
the reason i choose the f20c...its because i knew a little more about the wiring and i had access to it.... had the chance to use a vq, but ...the f20 would be much fun for me...
im not a puritan...so sorry if this offended you..( nissan to nissan, toyota to toyota, honda to honda guys etc.. )
but i just love my datsun whatever engine it has..! it fun to drive..!

Yessir. Pure old school enthusiast.

But not just that. I'm very much not into brand-swapping. Later, QD.

[THEONE]

thats cool,the honda swap and all.but i would have found an old 280z turbo and swapped that in there.

I can respect that. I'm not too big on the brand-swapping, but I can respect this too.

[oneSLOWex]

thats pretty sick!

you cant fit a 6cyl L series into a 510. the motor would be sitting in between the seats.

[SOHC97]

nice swap man

[THEONE]

haha between the seats, its would fit with firewall mods and transmission tunnel mods and relocation of the radiator.

[kfzemx3]

what a waste of an engine bay.

[Repiks]

God that thing must be hella fun. A clean install too, no excess shit laying around.


An ITBs would look sick under there.

So? Your point?

Anything's possible if you're worth a damn at fabrication. I've seen a VW beetle with a front engine big block V8. Driver had to sit in the back seat and steer -- But they still did it. lol

You're a moron and a jew.

How much do you charge to fab those? Custom applications available? I know someone who needs a 4-point foot in ass fabbed up...

I think that mod might be worthwhile. Later, QD.
