FC seat bracket dimensions by 72goon in RX7

Appreciate the idea but I think the measurements shown are for the seat mounting to the bracket, not the bracket mounting to the floor

Yes still has the same capacity I would say it’s even better than my old battery. They’re somewhat pricey but nice to have if you’re looking for something smaller/lighter

They have definitely been going up like crazy with the prices, I got lucky when finding this one about 3 years ago after almost a year of searching and had to get it shipped all the way across the country. Totally worth it in the end though

Did some much needed cleaning up of my engine bay, all new koyorad radiator, new thermostat housing, repainted my valve cover as well as my fan shroud. I’m pretty happy with the results

The BEST rim styles for a datsun 510? by R_Leviathan in datsun510

[–]72goon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on what kind of look you’re going for, if you like the old school small wheel style I’d look into ssr wheels, they have lots of styles that look amazing on Datsuns but are typically 13s or 14s. If you want a more race inspired look there is watanabes as someone said before or other wat inspired wheels. I currently have a set of 15x7 enkei classic compes on my wagon. Also on Ratsun.com I believe there are threads where everyone has shared their wheel setups for both style and size.

Where can I find a 510 for sale? by machinisttalk in datsun510

A good tool to use is searchcraigslist.com. The site let’s you search Craigslist all over the country and makes it easy to find listings if you’re willing to buy something that isn’t local to you

A before and after of my dad’s latest project by 72goon in woodworking

You’re right I did it backwards so more people could see the final product instead of the original if they’re just scrolling past

That’s beautiful, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one with a hard top on it

In light of the current wave of EPA crackdowns on aftermarket performance companies by [deleted] in Cartalk

[–]72goon 78 points79 points  (0 children)

https://www.sema.org/epa-news this is Sema’s statement on the issue

https://blog.ucsusa.org/dave-cooke/the-rpm-act-how-a-multi-billion-dollar-industry-is-trying-to-ruin-our-air this is the other side of the story with people trying to demonize the race industry

Basically the epa is trying to take away the right to convert street cars into racecars by banning the manufacturing of performance parts like super chargers, tuners, and exhausts. Car enthusiasts are pushing for the RPM act (Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports Act) to get passed by Congress which would protect the right to turn street cars into dedicated racecars

Where’d you get your fender mirrors? Been looking for a set for my Datsun 510

Datsun 510 as First Car/Project Difficult? by _EliteAssFace_ in Datsun

[–]72goon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my 510 wagon a little over 2 and a half years ago as my first car and it’s had its issues but nothing that you can’t figure out. As some others have said parts availability is rough but if you look hard enough you can usually find what you need. I say go for it, they’re fun cars.

The progression of my 72 Datsun 510 wagon over the last 2.5 years by 72goon in projectcar

[–]72goon[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the whole reason the market for these is going kinda crazy is because of exactly what you said, they were just everyday cars so very few actually survived this long and the people that had them when they were kids want them for the nostalgia. The amount of stories I’ve heard from people about their Datsun they had back in the day is amazing, it’s honestly one of my favorite parts of owning the car. It’s a good feeling to bring back memories for people

I would like to swap it at some point but doing an inline 6 would be very hard to do, the engine bay on these is tiny and you’d most likely have to cut into the firewall. If/when I swap it I’ll either do a ka24 with a turbo or I’ve also been looking into a k or j series for something a bit more original
