SR20DETdatsun510 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Jeeze, I've seen and heard stories of Primadonna Leader Guru Datsun Junkies right here on Ratsun cutting/chopping up perfectly good re-storable 510's and Datsuns like they were a dime a dozen. (pun intended) So, let me get this straight, if you are a "Leader" here it is eccentrically ok to butcher a Datsun but if not, your just a shirtless young and dumb asshole.... I swear, the hypocrisy here is blinding! This is RATSUN, get off his case. You don't need to be a Dato Veteran to experiment with a Datsun! If anything, he is ahead of the curve! (Ok, this is where the comments fly) LOL 4 Quote Link to comment

dennis Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 do what you want with it, it is your car. The only issue I would have is if it was unsafe to drive and you are around innocent people. if you fucked up your tires just put some new ones on. I kind of like the scorched look.

RedBanner Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 This is what happens hen you have more than one 510 lol. I for one think your an inovater, either for 510 builds, or for the "bring back the neg rep button" movement. Either way , its just a 510, if you can afford it fuck it. There getting cut up every day all across america. Quote Link to comment

Filthy_ Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Small update, Finally got into a new shop, and some parts! Chippin' away in my free time, thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment
Filthy_ Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Ah, I also found someone more reliable and professional to narrow my rear end for me, so hopefully i'll get into that rear suspension soon. Quote Link to comment
Filthy_ Posted October 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Almost a complete failure with the alternator clearance, but it's fine. '57 Fiat subaru swap, figured it'd get a laugh. Quote Link to comment

Nice ! Post many pictures of that. Are you going to run 5-lug or re-drill for 4-lug ? What did the 8.8 come from ? I've been eyeing this thread hehe Quote Link to comment

I've been eyeing this thread hehe Ford exploder. 31 spline axles, LSD and disc brakes. Custom made axles, 4 lug. Also eliminating the c-clips when it gets narrowed. I spoke to them yesterday and they said it'd be finished in about 3 weeks. I already sourced a place locally to purchase all of the laser cut steel to build the mounts, and a local rock crawler place is going to make the links for me. I can't wait to get this thing rolling. Also ordered a maddat box brace, and i'm shipping my center link off to get bent on monday. I made it into a commercial that my buddy made for some website too. No idea wtf it's for but my car is in there :P. https://huami.me/ Quote Link to comment

No idea wtf it's for but my car is in there :P. https://huami.me/ Very cool ! Stronger 8.8 and lower ratio. Sounds like you got hooked on parts and sources. C-clip elimnator's is a great move. You can order etra shit from Jeg's/Summit racing/Speedway racing. brackets are likely to be thinner on the cheap end lol. Tri-angulated or paralell 4-link ? :) I don't know what articulation you will need , or exactly your joints look like/type ( mine are heim's joints ) ... but if running heim's joints you can run machined aluminum spacers from 1/4" 3/8" 1/2" 3/4" on each side of the heim's joint between the plates/brackets ... for more articulation or just less chance of binding at any rate. Probably/Possibly not needed if your running the brackets narrow enough to begin with ( depending on the joint ). My 31-spline 8.8" 4-link brackets are narrow (close to the pumpkin) and running stiff suspension in general ... so I don't need much articulation. I just like the idea of not binding lol. congrats on the commercial .. whatever it may be :lol: 1 Quote Link to comment
sedition88 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Loving the work on your goon so far, I like the tourched look on the sedan, and I'd like to see a couple more pictures of the Fiat actually. 1 Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Nice man! Took a look at the Commercial, Damn, who's agressive mega neg offset White Formula SSR's are those? Quote Link to comment
Filthy_ Posted October 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 @DTP I'm leaning towards the triangulated. That's awesome that you've already done the swap, I'll have to seek out some pictures of how you did it, pm sent. The wheels are actually BBS. 15x10 -50 (as measured by the previous owner) those are un confirmed but they're a bit dishy. Actually I'm building the rear end out just for those wheels, It wasn't part of the original plan but fuck, it's not everyday that wheels like that just fall out of the sky. here's another shot of that Fiat, the only other pic that I have. 1 Quote Link to comment

Maschinenbau Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Why did you go with MacPherson struts over double A-arms? Along with the crossmember, is that some kind of kit you by for a 510 or is all of that custom made? It seems like with the amount of fab put into this dime you could have taken it just a step further instead of dealing with mid-corner varying camber angles. /handling_weenie Quote Link to comment
