Sweet car.

I can't understand why someone would invest that much time and money into a car and be too cheap or lazy to paint it. :idk:

Yeah I know.

It's a 510. your average ricer is going to think he can take it unless he hears a turbo spool or a V8 growl.

Anybody that is paying attention would notice the gutted interior and 5 point harnesses.

I like it but it looks unfinished, imo.

Actually I do too.

Theres something about a blueprinted engine thumping in a car with nice wheels, good bodywork, but primered or in need of a paint job.....Guess I'm just sick like that :shrug:

I applaud the effort, but I personally would've picked a different body & style Datsun. And for sure wheels, lol.

BTW "built the motor to handle boost"?... They handle it stock just fine, looks like he just added a flywheel, clutch line and plenum just help it along, but doesn't make it at all anymore bullet proof.

i'm still amazed by the insane fanboy club the 510s have... they look like such dumpy little shitboxes :scratch:

RWD in a lightweight car will do that.

Thinking about doing a VQ35DE swap in my 97 Maxima. Seems to be a popular mod on the Maxima boards for 4th gen Maxima's .

Hey, at least a '63 Dart has style... and of course, there were the Super Stock cars :rockwoot: Sure, they were a ton and a half, but over 400hp and 450+ ft-lb got them MOVING.

The 510 looks like something the Soviets produced. :nono:
