It was a lot different from my previous 5.0 liter cars ... like a lot more acceleration for one thing.

A guy came over to look at my 1200 that I'm trying to sell. He gave me a ride in his SR20DET-powered 510. Man what an eye opener.

After he got going along the road, I realized that I was embbeded into the bucket seat -- I didn't even notice the power come on it was so smooth. As soon as I opened my mouth he shifted into 2nd and that was not smooth at all, but a violent slam back into the seat, I couldn't move. And loud ...

All Go, Not Show




This picture album is from the AMI BBQ -- Altered Motives is a Datsun specialty shop in Oregon. They had several 510s in the shop, one was getting a turbo, another being restored as a C Production race car or something, etc. Anyway, the first "Datsun Shop" I've even seen, and the owners are friendly guys. One of them has a new SR20DET (the kind with the cam phaser) you can see it in the previous picture on the site there.
