  • Love or hate Nissan’s SR20 four pot motor, there’s some places where it just makes perfect sense. Like some vintage JDM machinery… like, let’s say, a Datsun 510. And Rob Fuller of Z Car Garage put this swap together before some of you were even born… before SR swaps were a big thing. And guess what, it still rips!

But it had the hood fly up and smash the windshield at 120mph on the Pasadena freeway. I had the money to buy it but none to fix it up. Boy I wish I'd just bought it now.

    Make in the 1980's and 90's .I swapped very Datsun steering wheel for a smaller thicker one. Now I have 240 steering wheel on my 240 and my back dated 280. I insisted on having the original wheel.
    For no other reason than ,every body changed them, but the factory 240Z steering wheel, is a true , work of ART ! It's the perfect size and the perfect diameter.
    But you have to live alot, drive alot, and then you get to understand the beauty, the ART of the Original Z Concept.

    I got a shit 4 door 510 back in the 90s when I was in auto trade school. Lots of steering play. Finally took a good look and the FRAME was cracked right under where the steering gear bolted up. Everything you'd expect from a $500 car. 2 inch thin doors make for an exciting experience on the freeway, not something I would recommend without a cage. I still loved it, tho. Only tool I had was a flathead in the glove box; if I didn't like the way it was running I'd just get out and tune the carb. So simple...

    LOVE this episode! I've been obsessed with 510s since the 80s, and have an SR in my current open class auto-X 510. It started racing with a fat lazy GT3071R that went ape shit crazy after 4,500rpm. Even with Xanax and ear plugs it was terrifying to drive. It has a GT-X2867R now, so +boost at 2,250 rpm, flat predictable peddle response all the way to 380whp at 20psi. Put's it down on 205 15s cleanly tucked under stock rear fenders, and 195s up front. With JBCW's rack & pinion kit, it's a Mini Godzila that's terrifyingly fun to drive.
