Happy new owner of an 82 910 Diesel Wagon!


Recommended Posts

Some of you may remember my previous 82 Diesel Maxima sedan... I have regretted selling it for years, and have been searching for a replacement off and on... I finally came across a deisel 910 wagon on craigslist about 5 hours away from me, I called the owner, sent him a deposit via paypal this past Friday, and drove up to pick it up Saturday morning. The body has some rust issues here and there, but it is mechanically sound and I love it!

So it gets interesting... It's got some kind of SVO conversion setup on it? It has an auxillary 12 gallon tank in the trunk for the veggie oil, and a switch on the console to switch between the diesel tank and the veggie oil tank... The PO has been driving it like this for the past year and a half, 80 miles a day round trip to work. To "make it worth my while" for coming all the way from Medford to buy it, the guy gave me about 70 gallons of ready to run veggie oil as a bonus. So far I've put 80 miles on the car, since yesterday, about 60 of which were on the veg. oil... It's pretty bad ass...

 

I may put some 280z/zx wheels on it to spiff it up a bit, and contemplating throwing a turbo on it as I have been saving a 280zxt exh. manifold for several years waiting for that one special car... The car is an auto... I wouldn't mind converting it to a stick at some point, but that may not be in the cards... Only time will tell as I continue to drive it.

Very nice car! Glad you found one.

 

Don't turbo it, unless you can find an LD28T fuel pump. The turbo diesel model has a different fuel pump (or pump internals) to give it more fuel

 

You mean the injector pump? That makes sense I guess... Finding one of those would probably be like looking for a needle in a haystack... And expensive.

 

I wonder if it's possible to just adjust the pump pressure up like an old mechanical diesel ford.

Yes. If you get on the Nissan Diesel forums and do some research, there may be another way to get enough fuel, maybe even another pump you could use from a junkyard.

 

Either way, badass car! Wagons are rare, and no sunroof that I can see!

If you ever wanted to turbo it ask member DatsunMotorSports he did it to his maxima diesel sedan he's actually selling it.

 

Where in medford are you man don't know if we ever met or if you gone to any of the meets we used to have planning on having on this weekend.

You're the dude that was trying to sell that brown/gold 280zx forever on craigslist aren't you? Doubt we've met. I've been datsunless for about 5 years now. I used to be in the Z car club back around 04-06 or something, but it really wasn't my cup of tea.

Yeah I was actually waiting to see if I'd get a better offer I ended up driving it up to portland and selling it and driving my 810 back over here which was the original plan either way it worked out. Ah I see, the z car club is different now they accept all datsuns and nissans now from the last meeting a few months ago I haven't gone back since just been busy, and it's not really my thing either but since there a all datsun nissan supporter club now I would support them there the only datsun related anything here. Glad someone else has something different, trust me people are gonna notice your maxima I have people compliment me on my 810 and say how long it's been since they seen an 810. What's your plans for the maxima?
