Noddle Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Silly question, but is the US 810 the same as the Aus 180B / 200B ? Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yardbird Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Silly question, but is the US 810 the same as the Aus 180B / 200B ? Nigel Yes and no. The US 810 has the same body except that the front end is strecthed to fit the L6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaimesix Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Congratulations. Excellent project, it is not easy to find a nice 810 . I am following your work, not only because I like Datsuns a lot ( have a 610 and a 710 myself, owned a performance B210 and soon will purchase a 280ZX from an old lady ) , but I have been looking for an 810 ever since. I always wondered why I could not find any built ones. It has a 6 in line powerfull motor, I like it. What suspension are you using for the front? I have a 610 that is in the final stages of suspension mods before hitting the road. I am using 280ZX strut assemblies which are similar to the 610 assemblies except for the heftier caliper and vented discs. I am shortening the assemblies, so I need shorter struts to go in. Ground control coil overs with Eibach springs for the front. Hope to see more pictures.

S30TRBO Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 After a fantastic recommendation by 1tuffz in conjunction with a vacation to visit family and see Niagara Falls...again I took an 8 hour road trip up to Lancaster New York to Classic Tube. Well a month later this is what I received back... New and old are in there. I also found a plating place in my home town that took care of all my suspension bolts (260+ pieces) for $100 shipped! Can't beat that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 looks like they didnt media blast those parts or put them in a hopper... i would be replace any bolts that look questionable with newer hardware and ave the newer batch re-done, but keep using the ones that came out good.

jaimesix Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 For a couple years I owned Ernie's (RacerX) 810 and I even autocrossed it a few times. Hey John. Any photos of that 810 racer???? Would like to see it. Thanks. Jaime._____________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yardbird Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Hey John. Any photos of that 810 racer???? Would like to see it. Thanks. Jaime._____________________________________________________ I remember that car. It was a red 4 dr., 77 or 78. He autocrossed it but I don't think John would call it a racer. Last I heard was that the kid that bought it gave it a 'pimp my ride' type of treatement (oversized clown wheels, etc.) and since then it just kind of disappeared from the scene. It's been about 3 years since I last saw that car. This is what it looked like before the wheels etc. were changed: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S30TRBO Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 What wheels are those on that red 4 dr.?? 280ZX OEM wheel. BTW what's the status on your 810? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaimesix Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Thanks for the pix Yardbird. That is most unfortunate, such a nice 810 with that potential and nice looks falling in the wrong hands can certainly end up with that clown wheel treatment that I abhorr myself. Poor 810, those clown , or Barbie Doll look wheels as I call it, made it attractive to the wrong kind of crowd and God knows were it ended up! If lucky, someone might see it and rescue it from ending up looking like Barbie Doll's car, enormous chromed wheels, corny paint colors and a boom box that makes the glass and trim fall off:icon45: Jaime.____________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishdog810 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Progress is slow, but steady (college tuition and all, bleh). I'm awaiting the arrival of my soda blaster so I can get back to work getting the body repainted and begin reassembly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
