tiltnose510

It has been months since I've been on here. The final score was that it started, drove and functioned well and I have parted with it. I am moving out of state and it cannot follow me where I am going. It went to a very good home and the other car in the corrall with it is a GTi-R. After the engine problems, I could throw no more money at it and we had decided on a huge life change that wouldn't include much in the way of cars. I am certain that an even wilder 510 will be pursued by someone and will undoubtedly be crafted finer than the one I had. Mine will be completed and Mike will do an even better job than I was doing on it. I am sorry to those of you who were following it hoping for a complete and wild outcome. I am leaving now and will be unavailable for comment. I enjoyed the time with you all. Mark

Rotten to hear gents. i will keep an eye and an ear out for the stuff. More importantly I'll keep an eye out for the x u-haul. Mark

Doood.

It was a good time, I didn't get to meet enough Ratsun folks because I didn't know who I was looking for. I sold 808DA6 an engine and got to meet him and Nelson. Great time, nice weather, nice cars.

I'm gonna have to say noooo to that. Aaaaaa, did you get that memo I sent??? (Office space) Maybe Montana.

I have a 72 510 wagon that I got from the Ratsun brothers (Icehouse and Freak, I mean Frank) It needs a new home because I am going to be moving. I will sell it 1500.00 (or somewhere in there) or trade it for a small 4x4. (Samurai, jeep, or something of that sort or maybe a motorcycle) I'm also going to sell the RB26dett 510 if anybody would seriously entertain buying it. Not sure of the price yet but somehwere about 10k. Mark 425-387-7994

Nice. Summer is here.

Well, got more work to do. cylinders are too scored on three holes. Looks like Canby is a no go. It will have to be bored and new pistons so while I'm at it, I will do a custom oil pan and re-vamp the steering to accept a shorty Nascar steering rack.

Not the first time for Mario either, That guy has to be on his toes big time. Hope the creeps a caught and the car returned in good shape.

Are you going to sell me your's now?

Blueridge, How is your project doing? been a while. I drove mine out of the carport today.

Looking good. Why is this thread in non datsun vehicles? Is this a really rare 620? :D

I drove it out of the carport today!!! It is so smooth its unbelievable. I was expecting a harsh, bumpy, can't drive it but at the strip ride. Not even close. I drove it out of the carport across the gravel drive to the neighbors parking area and never felt a bump. It was absolutely amazing. I started undoing the intercooler and stuff so I can pull the engine tomorrow and start tearing it down. I'll be doing a basic overhaul of seals and head gasket and installing two new turbos. Then it'll be down the road to see how the power is. Icehouse, I'll need you and Frank for videos.

Yes that would have been me talking about evil black rifles. Well, update on the 510. I got some time this weekend and completed the install of the pedal assembly and got the brake lines completed too. I Bled the clutch and brakes and everything feels really nice. I have to re-install the steering column, which means fabbing of a new bracket setup with this pedal assembly, and then it will be ready for a test drive. I will cruise it around the block and not put expectations too high since it needs the engine yanked and head gasket replaced.

I've seen worse fixed. Start banging some metal around and weld it up.
