Would there be any interest in VG30 custom plenum chambers specifically to fit the 510? This is just the base, will come with a plenum constructed from box section extrusion in 3mm wall in 6082 and utilise a universal throttle body. Please suggest anything else that could be made in numbers as well Comments and suggestions? Requests on anything else that could be made? Doing sumps as well.

Morning, evening, afternoon, I am currently putting a VG30 into my 510 Coupe and I was wondering if anyone has the dimensions or CAD file for a hammerhead shark style sump and also the oil pickup tube, I'm based in the UK so nothing really over here. Also after an inlet manifold / plenum or has anyone modified their one to clear the bulkhead? Like made it side input or front input? Would really appreciate it and happy to pay for it.

Eight now! Pictures coming

Thank you very nuch Burabuda, that is amazing!! I will go to America next year and buy a 2 door!!!!!!!! You lot are so lucky, we only have the Coupe and the Sedan, any about 25 exist in the whole country by my estimates!

I am looking for a 2 door sedan saloon to add to the collection and would consider flying anywhere in the world for a few days holiday next year when I have the money and time and then shipping / driving it back. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! Need a wagon before I die as well

Most of my '79 A10s have DATSUN 160J SSS VIOLET MKIII on the logbook, these are pre-facelift versions ie round headlamps and early dash, we never had the estate or the 2 door saloon, a coupe would always make well over £2000 even if it was rough, £3000 with an mot and in reasonable condition but absolute mint ones £5000, £6000 one suitable for parts only would still make £1000. We only have the L14 and L16 engined versions.

What I would give for that!!!! Oh my god, we never had that shape over here!!

I did, I have the front wings off of it, I offered them £1500 for the shell cut in half just so I had enough repair parts to fix some of mine but they refused! Wanted silly prices for some parts as well. Real shame though isn't it. I couldn't sleep that night!! How could they be so thick and issue a certificate of destruction (game over for going back on the road in England), if they had any sense they would have asked / told the scrap man that they were selling it, it would have made £3000 in that condition (as I would have gone at least that high!) Still, I continue my hunt, I know of about 20 in total in this country, still, they pop up every six months or so in garages and barns and fields!

If anyone has any panels, or cars or parts even old rusty wings, I am ALWAYS interested in buying them!!!!

We only have about 20 known A10s in England (Agreed???) and only 9 are registered so really shit, people just scrap scrap stuff here. Not many hoarders to keep the cars alive. Can anyone explain MK1, MK2 and Mk3 Mk4??? I am going to make a register of all the A10s left in the world, what would a good name be for the site, I believe we call them (in England) 160J and 140J or Violet, Australia call them Stanza, Mexico??? call them Auster and you call them 510 so would Datsun A10 be the best universal name for them?

That's my A10 at last years Oh So Retro show in Ramsgate, England!!! Oh and next to it is my Morris Marina Turbo, just go to youtube and type in Morris Marina Turbo to see the beast in action and how anyone can turbo any car in a day!!!

My name is Andrew and I am a Datsunholic!!! Got my first one when I was 12 and still got it, that was 22 years ago! (Bit of a triggers broom) Here are some of them at a car show a few days ago ...and some Datsun A10 porn ...and more So what do you think? Please someone explain is a MK1 a 710 and a MK2 this with the totally chrome bumpers and high back seats and the MKIII the rest of my collection? and if so why isn't the square headlamp a MK4? Oh, I have other Datsuns as well, including two more A10s

Shame to see what cars get scrapped by the local scrap dealer around here or banger raced!!!
