Thanks for the video, good job on your Datsun 510 , I was looking for a good donor car for A electric race car, rear wheel drive light nimble and punchy and I think the Datsun 510 will fit the bill , I will engineer the battery system for hot swaps so I can run lighter batteries should be an interesting build when I'm done I will put it on RUclips too
Brilliant work, great video showing us all the detail, I would like to buy the same mirrors if possible, any chance you could let me know where to buy them online as I am in Australia . What model bmw do they come from? Thanks for the inspiration: )
Good day this is an awesome build i am building a 510 as well and need all the chrome trips and weather strips can you direct me as to where to get these.
Hi mate, your build is stuff if dreams so congrats. Interested in your advice re wheel fitment for stock 510 guards. I'd like to go 14x7+0 rear and perhaps 6.5 up front. Any thoughts based on your experience? Cheers
I would use 7inch wide all around. No reason to go to 6.5 in the front. You can make 7 wide work just fine. Your application will be different than mine because I was not using stock hubs on the front, I was using modified 280zx struts and hubs and adjustable control arms as well. I also dialed in wheel fitment with small spacers to get it just right. I could aldjust camber and lower control arm length to get the wheels fit in the front perfectly. But no matter what, you should roll the inner fender lips front and rear...preferably before the car is painted.
Great attention to detail on this build, and well thought out. LOVE that you drive it like it's meant to be. I have many of the the same mods in my SR20 swapped auto-X 510, Also a '72 BTW. T3 coil overs, Willwood Brakes, Subi R180, CV axles, full roll cage, fuel cell, stock fenders over 205s, but Momo wheel though. IMO JBC's rack&pinion kit is the best money I've ever spend on a 510. Not that I haven't enjoyed bracing, spherical jointing, bump steer spacing, and Troy Ermishing the hell out of that rinky dink steering box, but DANG! Jeff is my savior. Hope you get some serious money, because you did it right.
Makes a big difference tying in the strut bar to the firewall and best to do the same on the rear of cars that have rear struts also. A lot less flex and car responds faster when you turn that wheel. Car is way nicer than it was when new. Great video thank you.
Wow you did a superb job well thought out. Hope you find the time to take it to the track and run it. Had a 72 datsun station wagon, I loved that car, had really custom built upholstery. Hated selling it, would have made a great sleeper fast car.
Well done! I had one of these in 1980 paid $200 for it from a lady that owned a salon she also had a 240z which I got running for her thus the good price in 1980. It was an awesome car cept already rusted out by that point. I loved it handled well it sparked something in me. Havent found another i can afford but mayhap oneday ill find one lurking in a field.
"I'm an older guy now" says the dude who looks about 28, LOL. Fantastic build! Really nice work and perfect choices (IMHO). Thanks for the 'long' video. Real car nerds truly appreciate you making the effort..Liked and subscribed.
I had a 1972 Datsun 510. Bought it in 1984 for $100. The guy who sold me it thought the tranny was blown, turns out it just needed a clutch adjustment. Loved that car, so fun to drive and easy to work on. Two years later I loaned it to my brother and he crashed it and it was a complete write off. I next bought a Datsun B210, another good car.
Such a cool, clean build! I have been toying with putting a S2K motor in my wagon. I am still trying to understand using the factory ecu and cluster and modifying the tank for FI.
Nice dime. I like how you did your exhaust. i thought about doing it the exact way you did, on my 69 2 door. Flex joint up front, braced on the cross member so it won't rattle in that dumb hole, and a removable rear section. Nice
Bravo man, do you want to take on my 2 wagons next 😂 Seriously, this is a phenomenal transformation. I’m dying to have my ‘71 & ‘72 at this level of quality! Do you have somewhere where I could message you a question or two about your build?
New born Datsun. Well done!!. These cars beat the tougher Africa roads. My old friend from Africa used to own the same model. Lots of good memories with it.
Beautiful 2 door 510! Well engineered and sorted.....I like the basics of keeping the S2000 drivetrain basically stock.....that should be all the power you need with reliability built in. I'm tempted to inquire about purchase but I better not......I have a 240Z and a 260Z....both rust free! 240 is a Turbo Toms in process.....260 is a mostly survivor with some intake and exhaust mods sitting on the shelf.....I'm having a hard time getting to these without adding another Datsun to the mix. Thanks for sharing your beautiful project!
Dude, really sweet ride! You'd never know so much custom work is in it just by looking at it! That VTech sounds beautiful 🥰. You've created a beautiful Frankenstein. Parts from at least 4 or 5 other vehicles 🤣 Really nice work my friend 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
It was all going so well until...the Bonnet was opened and there was a Honda enginr...I just hate inter breeding and there are so much better Nissan motors available to have put in
You lost me at the Honda V-Tec. Sorry, a 72 510 needs an L20B & a dog-leg 5 speed......which we have. Also, 918 orange (original paint) with tan interior.
I was really excited about this video… (until I saw the Honda transplant.!) - it should have been built with an SR20 (turbo perhaps.!) Why guys do this is BEYOND ME.!!!
Thank you for the feedback! I love addressing this opinion! Here is the back story on the Honda powerplant: I had built a 2-door 510 with an S13 SR20DET back around 2005, I had also built one before that with a KA24DE when I was in college in 2001. I also did a Datsun 610 coupe with a KA24DE turbo in 2009. So I had tried all of these popular engines and they were all pretty good and fine. I had constant reliability issues with SR20DET, including pitching a rocker arm and ruining a head. Power was fun, but the engine was a toxic relationship. SR20's have also shot up in price in case you haven't looked recently. They are no longer $1,200 for a full swap like the old days....The market price is way more than they are worth. In 2018 (?) I purchased a 2001 Honda S2000 and fell in love with the engine and transmission. What a superb car. I knew I had to combine that drivetrain with my favorite sedan, the PL510. I ended up selling the S2000 for something more practical, but missed that VTEC. Coincidentally my friends was abandoning plans to S2000 swap his Datsun 1200 coupe, so I purchased his whole low mileage F20 swap for a great price and the project was started. I had no regrets. That engine and transmission are superb pieces of machinery and really elevate the driving experience of the car. 9,000RPM redline with VTEC was so fun. No regrets at all. And the new owner is enjoying it just as much as I did.
My cousin told me these cars are Japanese copies of the bmw 2002..... mechanics and everything ????...... looks a lot like a bmw 2002 !!!......... Erik
@@Sookigarage I mean mechanically, the engine design, drive train , suspension are supposedly very similar to the BMW 2002 ,Japanese 2002 ?? and yes both boxy little cars !!!.....lol............... Erik
I had a buddy in high school (1972) that bought the same car in the same color and we used to drive it all over. Even though it was just a 4 cylinder, it was a peppy engine and lots of fun. Weirdest memory was when we were coming home from the first California Jam concert and we were lost. Suddenly my friend saw the exit for the Orange Freeway and swerved across 4 lanes trying to make the offramp. Unfortunately all he managed was to force 2 bikers off the road. Then they came after us and we tried escaping in a high speed chase. Traffic ended up stopping and the bikers parked behind and in front of the car. One of them went to the drivers window and started pounding on it. My friend rolled the window down and the guy reached in and punched him a few times before taking off again.
Great video! I owned a 1973 same colour same wheels back in the early 80s. I took out the 1.6L and installed a 2.0L 5 speed and lowered. Fun car. I now own a 2004 Honda s2000 fun summer car. I often think driving my s2000 how cool it would to put this drivetrain in a 510. .
By the 1980s, people started stealing these cars. My stepdad used to have one but I never really cared for them to be honest. The energy crisis of 1973 made these popular.
200whp NA is about right with these cars and that width tire. I recently tuned my car down to try and keep traction under control. I was making over 325whp boosted and it's a lot of fun, but not very useful in many instances. It's nice to see a detailed look at your build. I might do one at some point on my car, but I keep changing things, so it won't ever be up to date 😂 #4G63510
Aaron the Data tin Guy............wow, wow, and wow! Beverly And I watched the entire video. Fabulous job, Aaron! So impressed with your vast knowledge of everything, and we noticed the perfection in every aspect of it. Great job! Kudos to you! Uncle Steve.
I love this question! There are a ton of reasons! But the main ones are: 1. I already built an SR20DET powered 510 about 15 years ago, been there done that. So have a hoard of other people. 2. From the start I always knew this build was going to be a high-revving 4-cylinder that is naturally aspirated, to keep with the "spirit" of the 510 as a sports sedan. The F20C is clearly the best naturally aspirated RWD powertrain for this case. 3. My friend had a complete low mileage F20C setup for a really good price. There are more reasons, but those are the main ones. Nothing against the SR20! It is such an easy install , you can buy swap kits and all the parts you need to get it installed. And it makes for a fun car! I have been looking at SR swaps for the past 20+ years and really had no interest in going down that road again. Bro.
@@Sookigarage I want to do one with a VG30DETT , I get wanting something other than the SR20 , I dont really want one either as I want my power goals to be a little higher than the SR is comfortable with .. id rather run a VG30 at half its potential output than an SR20 at 90% to get the same power. But Im concerned with space given the difference in size with a V6 vs an I4 .. everyone has said RB20 or RB25 but its too expensive
That's a cool car in good shape I know mu uncle bought a Z240 back in the early 70's and before he could get it the dealer had to get body work and paint done because when coming over from Japan some of the cars sat on deck and the salty spray and saltwater would rust them before they got here so the dealers had to take care of all that before selling it.
@@Sookigarage The original L series had a cast iron block, cast steel intake and exhaust manifolds, and lead battery up front. I would imagine this 510 is very near a 50/50 ratio.
Hey Everyone, I sold this car in January of 2023. But please continue to enjoy the video!
What a beauty! May I ask what you sold it for?
What do you think it cost to have it finished?
@@chrisg2630 I did all the work myself except for the body and paint. There is no way to apply a cost number to the complete restoration/modification.
Nicely done...clearly built by a mature human who is done fooling around and knows exactly what the formula is...
This formula was my dream 510 build. Put together in my head for over 20 years.
One of the nicest 510 builds I’ve ever seen.
That is an amazing build, always loved the square body styles of the 70"s, IE 510, BMW 2002I
This car is amazing, a big inspiration. Thanks for sharing this!
Love it ! That engine makes the car !
I had a 73 610… loved the car. great job on the car!! Looks amazing!
I had a 73 610 as well! KA swapped it. It was a great car. Really hard to get parts for!!
Thanks for putting all the details and websites in this
My Dad had a red one of these back in 1972. I think his was a 1970 or 71. That was a very common car in Puerto Rico in the early 70's.
Thanks for the video, good job on your Datsun 510 , I was looking for a good donor car for A electric race car, rear wheel drive light nimble and punchy and I think the Datsun 510 will fit the bill , I will engineer the battery system for hot swaps so I can run lighter batteries should be an interesting build when I'm done I will put it on RUclips too

Brilliant work, great video showing us all the detail, I would like to buy the same mirrors if possible, any chance you could let me know where to buy them online as I am in Australia . What model bmw do they come from? Thanks for the inspiration: )

That is the original S2000 6-speed transmission mated to the S2000 engine.

I had a 4dr the same color... really faded though because it was an AZ car it's whole life
Who did ur body work. Can u send me the #

Great video great information. Thanks for all the info to the website gorgeous 510
These always reminded me of the BMW 2002 a bit.
Except way better than the 2002. 😁
So cool. I had a 1978 510 hatchback with black louvers on the rear window and chrome wheels.

Excellent video! Thanks for sharing. Beautiful 510 ❤❤❤
I highly recommend to put a heat shield between that exhaust pipe and transmission before you start cooking the oil in the trans...
Gorgeous! Was loving it until I realized you dropped a Honda motor into it...
Nice build mate.
Love it.
Wish I still had my 620 ute
Brada if u like Honda...get u a Honda my bru but dont put Honda in Datsun rather put Nissan
Fantastic build I think the only change I would want done is my name on the Title :)

Very Nice .... great success
How did the engine/tranny swap effect the overall weight? Also what is the weight ratio front to rear?
Never weighed it.
@@Sookigarage The original L series had a cast iron block, cast steel intake and exhaust manifolds, and lead battery up front. I would imagine this 510 is very near a 50/50 ratio.
I'm surprised Datsun didn't give it rack and pinion action. Such a great build, no rock left unturned.
Great build and amazing engineering..... I'm sure the 200 HP for this car is a blast. Be proud of this build.
Love this!! ❤
Was not expecting an engine swap. Caught me off guard. Good job nonetheless!
Nice
