Collection of pictures showing how a stock Datsun 510 got his swap from a 03 s2000 donor ;it takes almost the same time chopping the frame for either other swap, so I felt more confortable swapping a s2k engine & tranny on it. I didn't know where to start, but somehow everything started to taking place in a house garage with some basic tool that my grampa left me. Overall this could be called as frankestein swap because of the info and parts used. Ei: Subaru R160 LSD, Nissan Maxima rear calipers with KYB AGX Mitsubishi Eclipse adj shocks , front brakes and suspention provided by Datsun 280zx shocks with eibach springs and Nissan 240sx camber plates with tokiko adj shocks,Datsun 210 brake booster with 280zx master cilinder, 04 S2000 motor/ tranny with a custom crossmember 50%honda 50% datsun driveshaft. S2000 Cluster on 510 frame, old recaro front seats with Mitsubishi EvoVIII rear seat. mix and match for the datsun / honda wireharness and fuse box , AEM standalone system. Griffin Ford Mustang radiator, with AN radiator hoses.... the list goes for the wiring , same as the brake system and plumbing. It took me around 7-8 months to finish it , working mostly at night and weekdays. The main issue was to keep the most of the original geometry of the Datsun...and basically remained the same, only for the tranny tunnel wich it was extended. custom header and exhaust, muffler provided by Greddy RSX type S muffler gave a low tone on the open pipe exhaust. the car ran around last ...

The rest of the energy is lost to engine and driveline inefficiencies and idling. Therefore, the potential to improve fuel efficiency with advanced technologies is enormous. With an Electric Car it costs just $1.00 per 100kms with MUCH more performance than with petrol at $20.00 per 100kms. @@@EVs use between 1/6th and 1/10th the energy of a comparable ICE powered car.

I installed Megasquirt on Ray's car (MS1/E-029v code to be specific), wired the instruments, and rewired almost the whole bloody car! The car runs awesome, looks awesome, and won 1st place in "Modified Z-car" at the 2007 All Datsun/Nissan Meet in Vancouver. While I researched how to hook up the RB25DET, Ray did all of the mechanical install of the motor, fab work for the intercooler and exhaust, and prepared all of the typically numerous other little things that take time and attention. The audio track came from Brant Bjork's fantastic album Jalamanta (NLA & OOP), so go BUY yourself some of Brant's finely crafted music... www.lowdesertpunk.com
Was that a Supra he overtook?lol

This rather risky move on Datsun's part features Steve Wozniak, inventor of the Apple computer. You don't really see him advertising too many more sports cars these days, do you...
This is a later commercial for the Datsun 280ZX. I don't know about you all, but my someday is now.
This Datsun 280ZX commercial aired in 1979 to advertise the new 280ZX. Among the sweet options lie cruise control and a 4 speaker stereo. Can you say "Awesome"?

Hey Everybody... This vehilce belongs to a friend of mine and i thought the Datsun enthusiasts of the world would love to see it. Below the stock looking body and paint lies beautiful engineering including full chassis rails, monster brakes (for 15'' wheels) and an SR20DET running a top-mount Garrett Turbo, external gate - switchable between 15 & 22psi. Too much to mention here... But you get the idea!
