I live in east TN..I have always been into the older imports..cars I have owned. 1992 acura integra ls. bolt-ons, 90 Nissan 240sx hatch. bolt-ons, 89 Nissan 240sx coupe...I now have a 82 B310 with 104xxx original miles..I do not know much about these cars, I just got it to my house today, it drove but had no brakes, I cannot find parts or any locals with datsuns other than Z's..and to be honest I am not familiar with the terminology for these cars..My goal for this is to keep it clean..and get the oem stuff back on track before I start thinking of any mods..I am a window tinter so I think the first day without snow I am going black on it..I will be posting picures soon...I am wondering what is universal with other models and how to locate parts..all help is appreciated

No sir. There are exactly zero popular or common swaps for these cars, as no one builds them (they are neither popular or common cars), or performs engine swaps in them. :unsure:

 

And converting it to RWD will require TONS of fab work. If you want RWD you'd be better off selling it and buying a 210 (aka B310). The 210 and 310 are basically the same car, except the 210 is RWD and the 310 is FWD).

 

Don't get me wrong, it could be really cool, especially since it's the coupe version. Some had a cool wide stainless trim that ran up the sides (b-pillar) and over the top. Done right it could really be something.

 

If you are a good welder/fabber I suppose you could swap in a FWD SR20DET? :cool:

 

 

Interesting side note, the later E15 engines were available with EFI. ;)

It feeds hot air off of the exhaust manifold up to the breather so in cold weather the engine breathes warmer air than ambient. You don't "need" it, but you can buy these from any parts store. It's called a "heat riser tube".

Thanks datsunfreak, you seem to know your datsuns...so, correct me if I am wrong but this is a rare car right?..and finding a parts car in the states is going to be fun,

 

Very rare. They weren't big sellers when new, and their fragile transmissions sent a lot of them to the junkyard early. Finding parts could prove quite difficult. :mellow:

 

I read that they changed the 310 in september? of 82..this is very confusing..mine is from 6/82..

 

If you mean changed from the RWD 210 to the FWD 310, no sir. The 210 and 310 were sold right along side each other, from '79 to '82.

 

If not that, exactly what did you mean? :D
