          I love the 510. They make cool little projects. I second the VQ35 if it will fit.

            We're not sure if someone from The Adjustment Bureau stopped by Nissan's PR department to explain the IDx Nismo and IDx Freeflow concepts, but the company's odd press release can't diminish our love for these two show favorites. We had been told to look out for an unnamed Datsun 510 BRE homage, and once we saw the brothers IDx, we knew we'd found them. But the press release doesn't mention anything about the Datsun 510


            Found it after reading this article. Pretty cool little 620 with an sr20de.

            It's a little strange. but this is the second Datsun 620 pickup I've spotlighted in as many months. While both of the 620s are powered by SR20 engines, they otherwise couldn't be more different. The one we saw last month was a turbocharged tuner's take on the old pickup, this one is quite different. This …

              Man, I still kick myself for not hauling home the 510 wagon that was abandoned near me when I was younger.

I'd love to see one w/ properly extended fenders, e.g. steel wide body kit. I wonder if Datsun/Nissan had "good" steel back then. The stuff most cars use today will barely move, much less allow being bumped out to a wide body.
                I would set it up for corners. I would like to get into some time trial stuff to see if I like it. I would also want it to be able to daily drive it if I wanted. I know I should pick a direction and stay with it, but I think it's possible to have a car that handles well, but also gets around a track efficiently.

                  Just in case you're interested. I have a great tune in Forza 4 for my Datsun 510. Handles great, accelerates great. Just say the word and I'll give you all my settings.

                    I fired up Forza and ran a stock Miata on RA after we got back to try and get under our fastest lap the previous weekend. I wasnt able to, but I kept screwing up the same corner I did in real life.

                      I owned a 69 and a 71 when I was in Ca, they are the really cool little cars. Check Ratsun, 510realm and the dime quarterly. I haven't seen and serious deals in the last 10 years though.

                        Haha, that's pretty funny. Is the track pretty accurate?

                          Completely doable. There will be compromises, but still, great street car w/ cornering capabilities is VERY doable.

                            Its really close. The ruble strips are wicked bumpy, and they will upset the car pretty badly if you get into them. On the game they arent a big deal. The game doesnt have flag stands, and I was using them on track to help with braking and turn-in points, but othewise it was close.
