1Attempting a 200Sx rack swap. Ive been reading a bunch and thanks for the link was hoping someone in the area had one with a p\s setup. Im willing to just trash the 200sx idea if anyone does have something i can look at and reference

Bonus points if you have a dual cam ka!

Been cutting/flipping/measuring/welding/fitting and still having fitment issues. Trying to see if anyone in the area has one i can look at for reference, or if someone has done the swap. need to get my car driving again asap. thanks!

New sender & stock sender: Mishimoto adapter. Just cut the hose, make sure you ground the adapter, and run your sender wire to it from the gauge: And all are functional now!

So in case anyone was wondering, you need a programmable fuel gauge if you want it to work with the stock 510 sender. I made the mistake of taking some info from the Internet and running with it. Also, with a KA the stock coolant temp sending unit threads are bigger than 1/8 NPT (and metric), so you have 2 options when it comes to installing your new sender for your gauge. You can either drill and tap a hole into the block wherever you see fit, or you can buy an adapter for about $20 which is pre drilled for a 1/8 NPT bung and runs inline with your upper rad hose.

I couldn't just get new seats and harnesses. It was still lacking something interior wise, and since I haven't been running a tach since the KA went in, I figured it was time for an upgrade. So I started by pulling the old cluster. And then I realized my radio bezel was only being held on by 2 screws so off that came too. And then there was just this big ass useless heater core sitting there, so naturally it had to go. I thought, "wow look at all this room for activities!" And off I went in search of new ideas for the dash. Since I am ultimately getting it ready for a drift event in a couple weeks (stay tuned for vids and pics from that) i thought why not just make my own setup. It isn't finished yet, but you get an idea of where it's headed. Here's my progress so far: Started with a sheet of zinc plated sheet metal and an angle grinder. I cutout 2 pieces (one for trial and error, one for the final) and started measuring and drawing out placement options. In searching for gauges I found a lot of really good reviews and what looked like quality gauges from SpeedHut. But because they spend so much time custom making these gauges to perfection (2 weeks before shipping) I had to choose a faster option. I searched around a lot and ultimately chose to go with just the gauges I thought were necessary to start with. Tach, temp, fuel, and volt. I contemplated a GPS speedo but decided I would just make a permanent mount for my phone and use my speedometer app. (Saved me $300+) After a lot of searching, I went with the AutoMeter Phantom gauge set which I ordered from Summit and had it delivered in less than 48 hours. Always impressed with those guys. Then on to cutting the final piece, adding a carbon fiber wrap for a seamless look, and fitting the gauges! (Before someone asks, yes that's a turbo on my left arm. I also have the subaru boxer horizontally opposed piston layout tattood on that arm, but that's a story for another time) I pre wired everything before even looking at the fitment. I don't enjoy doing electrical anything, and for 4 gauges this seemed a little much but I got it all prewired and ready for the first fitment in the car. I'm pretty happy with it right now, but I still have a few things to do. Let me know what you guys think and stay tuned for more progress! Thanks

Havent really updated or touched the interior since building it years ago, so I figured it was about time!

Thanks. Glad to be back!

Oh and here's a couple pics, just because! Enjoy

Oh hey. I found my old account username and password. Yay! I'll be using this one from now on. I've been dialing in the KA. Getting it driveable and doing an overall shakedown. I registered it in its first real track drifting event on June 14th. Ordered some new seats and harnesses for it, threw some fresh wheels and tires on it, and just have spent too much money. But it's almost there and I'm happy. In the mean time, how's this for an update?

I am getting rusty on my datsun knowledge but it probably is an A series if you guys can tell that from the pics. I had looked at it just a few days before i flew out and had my wife purchase it and had a friend tow it to storage. They tried to tow it backwards with a 2 wheel trailer and said the wheels wouldnt move and it seemed like all of the wheels wanted to move at the same time, i figured awd. Here is a short video of it at thunderhill: any other info you guys can gather from the pics would be helpful. otherwise i will update in november when i get home. thanks for looking.

So just a quick refresh as its been a while since ive been here, from northern california, currently deployed overseas, own a 2010 wrx and 72 510. Just picked this B210 up a couple weeks ago for $900. A14 Dual carb'd and runs like a beast! sitting in storage until i come home on leave in november to check it out some more. rumor is it's awd (read below) but not verified as of yet. I plan on maybe taking it on a couple rallys in the future but mostly it just seemed like a good deal for how well it runs. Just thought i'd share! thoughts? comments?

Alamo, California. Please call or text me if you are interested. Must be picked up by tomorrow because I am shipping out Monday.
