Q:
Is a Datsun 510 Coupe a Good Car?
Hey. I'm looking into buying an old 72
Datsun 510 two door. I would lower it, put racing
wheels on it all new suspension and maintenence
parts and finally drop in an sr20det. I want to know if this will effect the weight distribution too much and if the
body can take power like that. Also, will this car be able to take turns and be a driven track car? Thanks a lot!
(asked by Cole R on November 24, 2009)
A: Hey cole, I also have a datson 510 coupe with an Sr20 and i don't think you will have a problem with any type of weight distribution. While its probably not 50/50 because of how heavy the cast iron motor is, its probaby only 100lbs off, which you wont even be able to tell a difference. As far as the body goes, yes, it can hold the power an sr20 can give it all day long. However if you were wanting to do some heavy drag racing i would say get some subframe connectors. As far as being a track car with the right suspension upgrades the car shouldn't have a problem, i drive my somewhat daily with not problem. But i would recommend coilovers, i think you can find some around 750-1000, ALL the bushings, i believe a whole kit is around 180, see if you can find a cheap brake upgrade like the 300zx kit or something, and strut and sway bars and you should be good to go! if you have anymore questions man just let me know! Hope this helps! (answered by Cmercer on November 24, 2009)

Q:
Rear Drums to Disc Brakes on 1970 Datsun 510 2 door car?
I seen this done on other 510. I was just wondering how to go about it?
When making the adapter for the rear
caliper, what thickness metal should be used (1/4, 1/2, 3/4,etc.) and what the precise measurments of the adapter? and steps on how to get it done right. Anyone please help. Thanx
