datsunfreak Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Got this Nardi for cheap, pretty sure it isn't fake I know the real ones have E.Nardi engraved one the front, then MADE IN ITALY engraved on the back with a date code near the center. Not sure if any of the fakes are doing that... Of course you could always try bending it. The fakes seem to bend really easy... :rofl: 2 Quote Link to comment
mattyhacks71 Posted February 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Its got both those engraved, just the serial number doesn't match up to anything. And it aint gunna bend its pretty solid 1 Quote Link to comment
mattyhacks71 Posted June 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Have yet to get the coilovers together, but that needs to get done soon. The car goes for detail on the 20th, and on the 26th is the annual all Japanese car show here in Victoria. So stay tuned for more lows! Till then, heres a pic of the Wats I shipped from Japan and recently repainted. Didn't put a ton of time into them because I'd like to get them professionally refinished. A quick sanding and satin black enamel. Heres another thing that may happen, I picked up this old school Yoshimura sport bike muffler. It's been totally hollowed out and would be too loud, but I think I'm gonna throw it on! 3 Quote Link to comment
mattyhacks71 Posted July 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Little update. Got the coil overs in, cut another half coil out of the rear, got the Wats mounted! 11 Quote Link to comment
Son_of_a_Datsun_Guy Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 This car went from cool to fucking tits real fast. Awesome job :thumbup: :thumbup: 3 Quote Link to comment
GoGoGo Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Are those Wats still 14X6.5 all around or did you stagger them with 7 in the back? What size tires are you running? Looks great! 1 Quote Link to comment

Are those Wats still 14X6.5 all around or did you stagger them with 7 in the back? What size tires are you running? Looks great! 6.5 all around . Fronts are +15 offset, the rears I'm not sure but they have more lip to them. And 185/65s all around 1 Quote Link to comment

DatMo Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Yeah, you're right. Keep daily driving it and parking it where other vehicles have access to it ^_^ ... what's the worst that could happen? Best of luck, kid. The last one is mine and it wasn't my fault but I'd daily it lol 2 Quote Link to comment
mattyhacks71 Posted July 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 I drive mine as much as possible. You could drive your car once a year, and still get in an accident. So might as well enjoy your car. Does seeing plane crashes on the news keep people from flying? 3 Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Houses burn down with cars in the garage all the time. Im pretty sure that most people think a museum is about the safest place a vehicle could be stored, yet look what happened to the corvette museum a couple of years ago. Giant sink hole swallowed a room of the museum and destroyed irreplaceable corvettes. Why live in fear? 3 Quote Link to comment

Rhino13 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 I have 3 Datsun's, 2 are insured and switch back forth driving them. The other is sitting without a motor... But I love getting to drive a Datsun everyday, and be able to take one down while still having something to get around. 3 Quote Link to comment

mattyhacks71 Posted September 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Cars been running really good. Still needs lots of work, but I learned it can do a brake stand so that's exciting http://vid1318.photobucket.com/albums/t657/mattyhacks/received_10208805164459827_zps10epaq93.mp4 3 Quote Link to comment

PL120321 Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Hi MattyHack, Your 510 looks awesome. I can't wait to show this thread to my mom. I'm glad her car went to someone with as much dedication as you. It was me that didn't finish it, not my dad. I recently got the 510 I built as a teenager back. What goes around comes around I guess. Your car looks great. Keep up the good work, Dave 2 Quote Link to comment
mattyhacks71 Posted September 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Hey Dave!! Really good to finally be in contact with you. I've been meaning to send pictures to your mom, but honestly have hesitated due to I'm not sure how she would take the fact that I modified her very unmodified "Daisy". I haven't done anything that can't be undone (besides cutting a hole in the floor for the 4 speed) and I plan on continuing to preserve the option of putting the car back to bone stock if desired. I haven't sold any of the stock parts either. Hoping to see some pictures (and a thread?) of your car. Is this the blue car I've heard about? Cheers 1 Quote Link to comment
