Datsuns have gotten a lot of attention on Bring a Trailer lately (maybe "appreciation" is a better term?). Add to the list their salute to Nissan's cult classic film from the 2.5 Trans Am 510 era: http://bringatrailer.com/2017/04/29/bat-inspirational-video-against-all-odds-the-datsun-510-wins-the-2-5-trans-am-series/

The 510 I recently picked came with an SR20DET but after opening it up all I could see is money flying away, I let it go cheap and picked up a KA24DE, 5spd trans, ECU and wiring harness for a good price. Pretty grimey but I think it has had an easy life, regular oil changes for sure, the cams are very nice, all the valves, rings and bearings are within spec. Strange thing is 3 cylinders had 175 psi on a cold engine except #3 which was 139 psi, but the rings & piston on #3 were identical to the rest, all good. The exhaust valves guides are pretty sloppy on all cylinders but more so on #3, could worn guides really cause a loss in compression of 36 psi? I can't find any…

No affiliation, but thought of your 510 nerds. Could be a gold mine, or a goose chase. "Disposing of a shed full of Datsun 510 parts. Two engines, engine parts, transmissions, struts and other suspension pieces, body parts, Minilite wheels, and more. Bring a truck, make an offer, take it all away. The shed will be removed on Aug 10." https://philadelphia.craigslist.org/pts/d/datsun-510-parts/6654180914.html

We have the car parts manuals web pages that show the exploded view of the 510 and the 240z and give the parts numbers. Is there something like this for the 510 SSS? I am looking for some of the carb parts numbers but can't locate a diagram or break down. Thanks, C

As much as I would like to be a 510 guy I just can't afford to, so I don't know too much about them but a buddy of mine @Careless sent me a link to these guys, http://www.jbcoachwerks.com/ I thought I would post it here just in case some of you hadn't heard of them, nice looking products.

I got the scales out before taking the 510 off the rotisserie, front weighed in at 295lbs, the rear at 293lbs equaling 588lbs, minus both of the stripped doors at 40lbs a piece and 32lbs for the rotisserie mounts. So total stripped weight for a 73/2dr 510 comes out at 476lbs.

The September issue of Classic Motorsports mag has a section on small-bore sedan racing that recognizes the 510 for its success in the sport. Included are sidebars with BRE's Peter Brock and John Morton.
