1980 Datsun 210 (310) Sunny


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I'm a new member to this forum and proud owner of a 1980 Datsun 210 (310) Sunny. I have some exterior pics below, and I will have some interior and engine shots soon, so have patience. The Sunny is overall stock, has an automatic trans and it's pretty clean to be an old school, but as all Japanese automobiles it as some rough rust spots under the carpet and etc. It's missing some bumpers, for some dumb-@ss reason the previous owner took them off and got rid of them. I'm hoping to come across a a pair either usdm or jdm whatever is cost effective or available. I'm also looking for a clutch and brake pedal to convert it over to 5-speed... yes, like everyone else I want an engine upgrade! I'm thinking SR20DET with a 5-Speed. This car obviously has been dropped (springs cut) and I'm also hoping to find a suspension that will fit this car. Anyways... enjoy!

Thank you! I keep her garaged & covered. I bought a set of ssr xr-4 longchamps that I'm going to be putting on her soon!!! :::school girl giggle::: How much for that trim? Any extra clutch and brake pedals?

 

BTW is there a thread with pics of yours?

Well I'd have to calculate shipping, but probably 5 or 6 with shipping. And I don't even have pad's on my pedals. But I know that you can find them through The Parts Bin.com and Rock Auto for a few bucks a piece.

Those rims are going to look beautiful on your Sunny!!

 

 

That's my bad boy :P

metalmonkey - Hope everything comes along fine with your sunny... it's a nice car and has a lot of potential!

 

Colbino - Thanks... so far I've kept it garaged kept and only drove it the day I bought it (about a year ago lol) so I can't really tell you how it handles, but I'm loving the hop! Jersey streets are not cooperative though, it seems like NJ and NY are competing for that #1 spot for worst streets, so I think I'll end up lifting it.

 

sinner - Thanks... nice truck btw! not a bad idea with that front bumper, it would definitely look great on my ride. Almost close to the jdm bumpers.

 

Bleach - thanks, but I should be fine without the service manual.

Thanks for the great feedback guys!

Hey Metalmonkey my brother actually has one, but I think I'm gonna leave it stock for now and save up for the SR20 or who knows maybe an RB conversion. BTW I got a JDM Grill that just got to NY from overseas. I will keep you guys posted.

So I got my grill through the mail the other day which is a good thing, but I have to sand it down and prep it which is going to be a b!tch. I don't know how I'm going to get inside and sand all individual diamonds, but here are some pics.

If any of you have a good tip or idea of getting in between those small areas, please let me know.

Won't sandblasting eat right through the plastic? I'm just trying to be careful because it's not like I can find another grill so easy and they aren't cheap. Then again I really don't want to put a lot of elbow grease in to the grill.
