My SR20 Datsun 510 Project
after about 10 mo of sitting in my garage and not doing much, i decided to get the project underway.
small rundown S14 SR20 full coilovers/suspension adjustable rear cross member 11" front rear 10" brakes hydro ebrake FULL interior and Exterior restore full cage all new bushings/joints ditch gear box and fab in a rack n pinion. more pics http://www.floridaracing.org/510/bodywork the paint, toyota thunder cloud metallic, inspired by charles' s14 (in super street last month, you can see me in the drivers seat or the floridaracing.org sticker on the rear bumper)  stripped to nothing at $hawns (paint) shop.  being the lazy *Censored**Censored**Censored* $hawn is, to get the holes filled in the engine bay, i had to do myself  step one: clean the holes  step two: fill the holes. its a hole, so you have to start at the edges and fill to the middle obviously.

step 2.5 - get molested while welding
  step 2.75 - put out the fires you caused after heating up the opposite side of the metal step 3- grind them   Thats one, now there are 63 left. Luckily I only have about 10-15 more to do. One fender done. Where that fiberglass is, use to be a transparent hole.

Nice project. I had a '68 with an l16 and dual webbers that was fun as hell. I was all setup to do an sr swap when I ended up selling it for a street bike. You using a mount kit of doing the work custom? Mad Dat makes a very clean mount kit.

no need for a mount kit. the stock brackets with the 510 mounts bolt right in, then just fab up a simple tranny mount to hold it up.

Hehe, your doing a project that I want to eventually do in the future. Originally I wanted to get a 510 and just drop a SR20 in there, but I have a S130 now so If anything I might drop the L28ET into a 510 in the future. Well hope your build up goes well and hope you keep us up to date.

cut up some sheet metal today to weld behind the large holes in my engine bay. after welding from behind, i then welded them from the inside. i got tired of doing them ( only 2 left) So I started on smoothing everything out for paint. Both fenders and hood are done.

finally an update right?
well its been sitting like this since i got the car back from paint. I sent my control arms off to heim joint/make them adjustable. Well 3 months later and having to threaten the guy to get my arms back, i finally got them over to Gabe at T3, and should FINALLY be back to me tomorrow-wed. Then by the end of the week hopefully my 11mm front control arm ball joints (i got the last pair left that NAPA sells) so I can get my front suspension back in.  Today I finished up the front coilovers. Completely took them apart and sanded/painted everything that visible. Front coilovers consist of: 280zx front strut tubes SW20 MR2 KYB AGX struts Ground control weld on coilover sleeves T3 roller bearing top hat T3 camber plates 280zx Cross drilled/slotted rotora rotors porterfield R4S pads   I also disassembled the rear drums to get them ready for my disc conversion. Have 10.125" cross drilled/slotted rear 280zx rotors and 200sx calipers for it. This week sometime I am going to slot the cross member, finish sand blasting it and then paint so I can get it ready to put back in. Motor (sr20det) is almost prepped to go in. just needs a final rinse and paint I really hope by Dec 1 to have this thing rolling, and maybe even have the motor in it. |
