This 1972 Datsun 510 two-door sedan was purchased in 2017 and modified between 2018 and 2023, including the installation of a 2.0L F20C inline-four and six-speed manual transmission sourced from a Honda S2000. An OS Giken limited-slip differential and S13 front and rear subframes were also installed along with Fortune Auto coilovers, adjustable control arms, Sikky sway bars, five-lug hubs, Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes, and 15? Enkei wheels. The car was fitted with fender flares and repainted metallic orange, while the interior houses a roll bar, Sparco seats with harnesses, custom door panels, a MOMO steering wheel, and Speedhut gauges. Additional equipment includes an ATL fuel cell, a custom exhaust system, a Haltech ECU, and a Clutch Masters clutch kit.
The car was repainted in a BMW shade of Sunset Orange during the build. The front windshield, trunk seal, and door seals were replaced at that time, and the bumpers and trim were refinished in gloss black. The left rear fender flare is damaged and there are dents on the rear bumper. The exterior driver’s door handle is inoperative.
The five-lug 15? Enkei Compe wheels are mounted with 225/45 Kumho Ecsta tires that show date codes from 2016, 2017, and 2018. Braking is handled by Wilwood calipers over drilled discs at each corner. S13 front and rear subframes were installed during the build along with Fortune Auto 500 series coilovers, Sikky front and rear sway bars, wheel spacers, and Megan Racing adjustable control arms.
The cabin houses Sparco Sprint racing seats mounted on sliders and equipped with six-point Sparco harnesses. A four-point roll bar has been fitted and the rear bench has been removed. Additional modifications include custom door panels, a custom center console, a Skunk2 shift knob, and a Flex-A-Lite Mojave heater and defrost ducting. The dome light is missing and there are cracks in the dash.
The flat-bottom MOMO steering wheel is mounted on an NRG quick-release hub and fronts Speedhut instrumentation, including a GPS-based 160-mph speedometer, a 10k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The digital odometer shows 2,800 miles, which is said to represent the mileage added since completion of the build. Total chassis mileage is unknown.
The 2.0L F20C inline-four was installed in 2018 and features VTEC variable valve timing as well as Skunk2 headers, a custom exhaust system, an inline AEM X-series wideband controller, and a Haltech ECU. An ATL 15-gallon fuel cell with an in-tank Radium pump is mounted in the trunk. Cooling is through a CSF aluminum radiator with dual fans.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission, a custom driveshaft, and an OS Giken limited-slip differential. A Clutch Masters clutch kit and flywheel were also installed during the build.
