1972 DATSUN 510 - 600 HP

Have had many Datsun's over the years. This was to be my last one with no expense spared.  bought the car as you see it in the link to video below.
DATSUN 510 DYNO 495 WHP SR20http://youtu. be/xwDQRyILRIwCar was built really nice. one of the nicest I'd seen so far.  Unfortunately. as with most SR swaps. Lots of money spent on car. but had issues and lots of bugs to be worked outbefore it would be a perfect and reliable car. Car would heat up on long drives and was only good for short blasts. then would have to let it cool down. Went to Specialty Z to see if I could get it sorted with them.  That's when I realized I was gonna have to re-due entire mechanics of the car from front to back in order to have a reliable and sorted car that you could run and not always be looking at the temp gauge.   Specialty Z for those who don't know is not cheap but there results are second to noneand are Nissan freaks.  I told them I wanted to do it right. have it reliable. make over 600 HP to the crank safely.   
So sent motor to Costa Mesa R&D (check them out on you tube) for full rebuild which included: Needed all machining. Horn. bore. deck block and headhad block O-ringed for big boost with out problemssuper tech valvesBC 280 CamsCP pistonsCrower rodsHKS adjustable cam chain sprocket polished and rebalanced OEM crankbearing. timing chain. etc.

While wire harness was being made. car went to Fabtech.  Needed to address cooling.  These turbo motors make a lot of heat. So ditch the 3 core Ron Davis and electric fans. Looked cool but not good for my application. Bought new Koyo Radiator which Fabtech cut the tanks off before I could see it out of the box.  Made new top and bottom tanks with welded return and inlet lines out of aluminum. Also integrated the thermostat housing to solid piping and the outlet off the head. No Frankenstein pieces like you usually see on these swaps. Made custom fan shroud that holds some of the oil lines to the oil cooleroil cooler mounted in-front of rad. behind grill  with slick bulk head pass threw lines Custom one off oil catch can to clear intakeOne off intake polish made with Mazworks idle control valve and boost bungs mounted underneath intake . can't see them.    Re-did exhaust pipe workRe-did all intake pipe work to 3' threw-outMade 5 point Roll cage with removable harness bar. powder coated blackDJ Safety 5 Point Harnesses. with Federal dot street approved tagCustom housing for 2 bosh fuel pumps16 Gallon custom one off fuel tank with sending unit. filler neck.

suspension:Troy Emrish new edition rear coil-over kit. nbsp;with one way adjustable compression and rebound Troy Emrish steering box brace. made big differenceGround Control front coil over kitGround Control front camber platesE&M front tie rods
brakes:Willwood 4 piston front calipers Willwood 12. 5 drill rotorsRear 280ZX drill rotorsrear 280zx calipers and E-brake that works
Interior:Carpet could be redone for after rebuilt it got alittle out of shape.  However there not one piece of the interior that's not finished. all door and quarter panels. rear deck has molded and raise speakers. rear seats. front seats. all anyone says about interior "flawless" Carbon Fiber Dash. entire dash. one off piece Custom center counsel all Auto Meter Gauges. speedo. tach. water temp. oil. boost. pyro and fuel gauge.  However going to ditch gauges in the counsel and run a 10. 5 i pad and run the Haltech soft wear for it displays way more information more accurately. nbsp;haven't had time to install it yet. BMW M3 seats custom wrapped in leather that matches rest of interior. yes there hooked up and electric motors work greatEven the rear wheel tubes are covered in leather
Car runs great. I know I'm missing allot of things.  
Car needs new set of tires only cause there old and compound has gotten a little hard. has taken almost two years for the build. Also I planned on running the I-pad in center counsel. you dont need too. but it would look great and provide lot of functionsHaven't re-installed the audio system. which includes 2 JLaudio amps( in car). 2 12 inch subs(not in car but have). Clarion touch screen deck (in car). Two sets or separates (in car). was over the top. nbsp;need to install twin pump serge tank for hard first gear pump when low on fuel. have all parts selected. just haven't had time to install.   Car currently has 600 miles on brake in tune making 395 to rear wheel on low boost and pump gas. E85 tune will deliver more than 600 easily if desired.  Motor and all systems were built for that. However right now you wont believe how fast this2100 lbs car is.  After driving it how it sits now. I was gonna start at a 500 WHP for starters.
