It handles alot better than it did. Just got my nismo t.c. bushing set so that should improve it more, might try and find a steering arm that was ment for the size of joint I reamed mine out to, just for peice of mind.

As for the 510, im changing classes to be able to afford more track time, but that means I have to swap alot of the stock parts back in to pass tech, so all the cool race bits are going into my 710 2 door sedan, along with a cage me and my brother greasemonkey have been desighning... well talking thru my requirements, and solving my issues really.

backtracking a little bit..........are you vintage racing the 510??

Tom

Wow, how's it handle now?

Ive had alot of trouble getting the correct centerlink for my 120p for awhile. Kept getting shipped different things that wernt even close.
This last time I tried rock auto... they sent me a 210 centerlink twice, and the second time they just said to keep it.... so I might as well try and uses it.
Well anyone who has tried swapping a centerlink will know, the idler is different, along with every ball joint being smaller than other datsuns.
So I miss matched some parts and here is what I eventuly used.
Idler is from a 710, centerlink is from a 210, and the inner tierods are from a 510.
Outer tierods are 1200, as are the new balljoints.
The mod I had to do, some folks might not agree with, but I had to ream out the steering arm. Yah yah I wouldnt usualy do it, but I was in a bind, I might swap steering boxs in the future. But for now its working awsome. Heres some pics.

Indeed it is. Even lower than it looks.... hence the jack points.
Got.some 15s so I may be lifting it some.

Real life hotwheels car. Soooo low too

Thank you.

nicely done
