datsunfreak Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Did come across a sr20 swap kit from mad dat for this car, which kind of excited me.. lol Maybe in the future swap in a KA and keep the a14 laying around. FYI, if you can find an 80-81 510 in the junkyard, it can supply almost all the necessary bits to swap in a KA. Quote Link to comment
hondaluvr Posted August 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Sadly we only have one junkyard in this town, so I have to travel about 120 miles to the good ones. I may check and try to find one. Quote Link to comment
hondaluvr Posted August 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Cleaning out the bay, took the bumpers off. Need to get rid of these crash bars. The car has had A/C added to it at some point. It is a weird setup lol. Also vacuumed out the interior and took out the back seats. Installed a DEPO digital oil pressure gauge for fun as well. Before AFTER: Don't mind the stickers.. I had a bunch left over and decided to find a use for them. Started Painting... KINDA Quote Link to comment
hondaluvr Posted August 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Well.. came across some Watanabe 15" rims in a Dark copper/bronze-ish? for sale on eBay and pulled the trigger on purchasing them. Only because I could use my paypal credit card. lol Hopefully see them in about 3 weeks. Almost done painting it flat green and now looking heavily into a ka24de swap. This car is quickly going from cheap no f*cks givin project to a real project. Quote Link to comment

hondaluvr Posted September 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 My three day weekend was some what eventful... I helped a buddy pull the motor out of a '92 CBR 600, Put on a timing belt on another friends B18c1 in his 92 civic hatch, Helped another friend finish up on installing his SR20 into his 240, and pulled the Datsun out of the garage and cleaned up the dirt and leaves from the fender wells and cowling. Installed my fender mirrors that came in, took off the crash bars, and sprayed some undercoating in the fender wells. My wheels shipped out yesterday, so hopefully I will see them next week. Once I get it driving around I'll be able to bring it up to work and weld in the holes from the old mirrors and trim. Here is a picture from weekend of my WRX (the silver one) and my friends WRX and of the 240. Quote Link to comment
hondaluvr Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 My wheels shipped from Abu Dhabi Sept. 1st with DHL and went from there to Germany, Ohio, Texas, and then Oklahoma. I received them today! That was ridiculously quick shipping. Found out the wheels are Black Racing (watanabe) wheels.. Still made in Japan and very light. Also ordered some 195/50r15 Falken tires from work today that I should see tomorrow. Going to re-paint the wheels and mount the tires hopefully this weekend. Also got some stickers in. :) Quote Link to comment

hondaluvr Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Update. The car still sits in my garage at this moment. I have changed the oil, had the tires mounted, found a home for all of my stickers, and that's about it. I filed for a lost title (title 42) around the last time I posted on here and am still having some issues getting one, so until I do get a title. I can't drive this thing besides around the neighborhood and to move it. Starts and runs in even the coldest of weather with no issues which surprised the hell out of me. I really can't wait to start driving it around. Quote Link to comment
hondaluvr Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Also started the shark mouth and put on my Speedhunters decal. :) 1 Quote Link to comment
Bomboyj Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Wait I am so confused. So my car is a 2 door sedan not a coupe? Mine looks just like the OPs 79 210. I've had this this like 3 years now and have been calling it a coupe this whole time. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Wait I am so confused. So my car is a 2 door sedan not a coupe? Mine looks just like the OPs 79 210. Yours is a sedan. I've had this this like 3 years now and have been calling it a coupe this whole time. Stop doing that. ^_^ One of the most common mistakes in the Datsun world though. Coupe is usually a "fastback", sedan is a "notchback". Doesn't help that most Datsuns came in both 2dr sedan and 4dr sedan versions. It's the custom for American cars to call all 2drs a coupe and all 4drs a sedan. Not so in Japan... 210 Coupe: Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 And change your profile info. :rofl: Quote Link to comment
Bomboyj Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Thank you Datsunfreak. I almost hate that I love these cars so much the more I learn about them/mine. I will change my profile it was outdated anyways. Quote Link to comment
d3rdsin Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Reviving an old thread... Is it safe to say that he gave up on this build pending title issues? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 There are lots of reasons for suspending a build... money, time, winter, interest, life changes, accidents.... Quote Link to comment
