those carbs aren't up to feeding an L20B a proper diet of air. use the 46mm carbs and port out your '220' intake manifold for the bigger carbs- you can do it without getting into the water jackets (don't get carried away). the bigger carbs' throttle valves twist in the other direction. i use the 72 240Z carbs with the roadster U20 slide pistons, needles, and nozzles cuz i got a bunch of them for a cheap when nissan was selling them down in the 80s. i used a tsuchiya SSS air cleaner shell and shortened a 72 240Z air cleaner base to fit it. all L20B engines were made in japan for the north american market. the Z22 engine is a great source for a stroker crank- the resulting torque is amazing. i've built a few L20B motors for 510s before getting into VG30 swaps. 510s are lots of fun but getting pricey...
I just wanted to let you know you do a great job of reviewing and explaining a car I would not hesitate to get on an airplane here in Florida and fly all the way out to you to purchase a vehicle from your company.
there are some nice 510s around the southeast- mainly because they can't be stolen and driven to cuba. ive seen some clean garage queen 510s in tampa and around pinellas county. keep your eyes on the newspaper ads.
Fucking hell!!! I am not gonna buy that car, but seriously: The way you showed everything on this video, I mean I can not think of anything you left out.... Like the cracks and the wobbles in the paint and all that. That was amazing!! I think you did an awesome job in this video representing the car. Never seen such an exhaustive workaround. Very well done, sir!!!
you said about the same thing on another 510/1600/bluebird site. not true. i saw the first 1200 ute i'd seen in a couple of years the other day. cant remember the last time i saw a 1600 on the road. i miss the 1600 wagon i had for 15 years. top car. but i agree about putting a more modern motor in them.
@@donwest5387 Yes, Datsun 510s were exported to North America as the PL510. The right hand drive Nissan 510 Bluebirds were JDM cars, which stands for Japanese Domestic Market. The 510 in this vid is left hand drive so not a JDM Bluebird SSS.
3 year old video for bring a trailer, online auction if your not familiar with them. They have some nice dimes come through, they all seem to get top dollar. You can check out all the previous sales results
ur crazy 44 year old car !!!!! did u watch the same video. I'll bet it sold for 15-18k back in 2017? I know your comment is a year old but its just as ridiculous
Is this where the concept of the 'Bluebird of Happiness' came from? Because this makes me very happy.
What a Datsun sss. Bravo from 🇮🇩 Indonesia
Best car I ever owned. Bored and stroked L20B with all the SSS components for an engine I got from Japan.

That is beautiful, love the character of little Japanese cars.
I wish that car manufacturers. would make a simple car like this one. Because it would be affordable for working people.
I wouldn't mind having a 510 like this one !
This is one of the nicest and best condition 510 I've seen on TH-cam.
have a look at mine...
This little box was quite like, similar to the BMW 2002. Thanks your sharing.
Waiting Room! Nice.
Intro music; Fugazi: Waiting Room. Nice!!!! Car’s not bad either.

Thanks For Sharing! We'd love you to come out even after a year later! sorry for the late reply!

It's nice to see a straight forward apprasial of the car.

Hey thanks for the compliments, most people knit pick my videos, lol say I don’t show enough, I don’t know anyone else that is this thorough, 😂
As we would say over here in England, in motor trade parlance ,a very straight and genuine old car !!!.
Beautiful car
great video....Awesome car....
the tach will still hook up even if the ignition is electronic. I got mine working.
sweeeeeet!!!!!
So; you cut the "SSS" roof off and put a standard 510 roof on? Same on the tail-llights.
so what would many suggest as prep and protection for such a nice under carriage if the car was to be relocated to a salt zone?
You need to have Weber's, or solexs in that thing
where did you bought that console?
niceeee
😜💥👊
Have you sold this 510 ?? Interested. Serious.
hi, fantastic, what is the tyre size and rim size you have used for this car
you know off the top of my head I can’t remember watch the video I do talk about it thought.
Cool fog lights where did you get those from

ROFL that you called it an SSS when it clearly isn't.
The motor might be an 1800, but that's a North American export PL510, not a JDM Bluebird SSS
they came to North America?
