Looks very clean! Good job!

Wow! looks amazing and probably works very well too.... $800 later...

I finally got the brakes finished and took the car out for a drive.

I was waiting for the brake line adaptor and finally gave up on Summit and ordered them from Pegasus racing. The new hoses worked well (kinda had to guess what ones to use) and everything fit.

Whoo hoo does the car have brakes now!! It also seems to handle a lot better. I set the Konis at about 2/3 firm and am probably running too much camber. The car steers much easier and turns in a lot faster.

Now I just need to get it aligned, install the rear shocks and maybe put rear disks on it (what is the easiest swap?)

 

Got my Electromotive Ignition installed tonight. Still need to clean up the wiring and install the ignition control inside the car (so I can adjust the timing on the fly) but it runs. I have done no tuning yet but the car seems smoother and like I picked up a little torque. Now I need to figure out what to do with the distributor not sure if you can just get rid of it and cover the hole because it seems like the oil pump drive might need the support..any ideas on this?

I just ordered a bunch of parts from Datsport today. They have been very nice to work with.

I ordered
Adjustable rear crossmember
Rear springs
steering box brace
rear crossmember mounts
rear control arm mounts
idler arm bushing
headliner kit
new dome light assy

I can't wait to get everything!

Glad to hear that, my parts are supposed to ship next week

I also ordered a rear disk kit from top end yesterday (uses wilwood calipers) I'll try to post some pics when the parts arrive.

 

Anybody know where to get panasports?  I talked to calssic datsun and dave turner and they are out of stock (bout 4 months out, ouch!)

Looking for 15X6.5

What if anything are you going to do for a parking brake?

Edited to say, BTW nice tool organization  

I am going to install a hydraulic parking brake (similar to line lock) and a proportioning valve.

The tires in the background are 195-50-15 Yokohama AVS-es100s on 15X7 wheels (I am selling these)

The tires on the panasports are 205-50-15 on 15X6.

The rear crossmember is from Datsport and is slotted with an adjustment system for the bolts so it is easy to change the alignment settings but the bolts will not slip out of alignment.

The control arms are pretty standard except they are cleaned up (misc hangers removed) powder coated, have new wheel bearings and have nolatek bushings. My old arms had a slightly (.030) bent axle on the right side and worn splines so instead of buying a new axle (very expensive) I just decided to buy the rebuilt arms from Datsport, their stuff is great. I do have a set of newly painted control arms (deltron urethane paint) for sale but one side needs a new axle.

Dang, that's a nice car! And those springs are Yellow! woot!

I didn't know the 510 rear suspension was like that. Its much different than the Z's strut... more like the late 70's 510.

Yes, other than having 4 lugs and a red shock absorber, it looks nothing like an A10 setup. The late 510 rear axle has the coil spring directly on the axle and 2 sets of centering link barsrunning from the front of the axle to the body.
