It's funny how things go full circle. My parents had the identical car to mine when I was 4 or 5 years old. Same year and color. I should see if my mom has any pics of that car.
A little something to offend everyone

Nice Rack!! 
Sorry I couldn't resist, hahaha. Good work on it though, haven't seen that type with a wood bottom before, looks nice, normally (in the jeep world), people just have all steel.

That car is ridiculous! He lives in my area and it recently dynoed at P.S.I. (Portland Speed Industries - just down the street from me) with a pretty respectable 426whp and 378ft-lbs. It looks a bit different under the hood now. Very cool toy.

love the project! cool seeing the work that is going into it! Nice chin spoiler too, bought one for my vw last year haha
Been fighting some really weird driveability gremlins for the last week or so. Really frustrating since it's such a Frankenstein that it's hard to just "go to the manual". At this point it looks to be a dying ECM. The sucky thing about that is that I have to get the replacement will need to be reprogrammed to delete the VATS just to make it run. Used replacement ECM - $25. Tuning for replacement ECM - $250. Lame!
Traded some emails with the tuner, Vince, on Friday. I explained what was going on and he thinks I'm probably right about the dying computer. I was expecting to have to pay full price to get the replacement computer flashed but he offered to just consider it a "tune update". Looks like I'll be in it less than $100 including shipping. I'll place the order in the morning and let you guys know if this actually solves the problem. BTW, i drove it around town all day Friday and it ran perfectly. Go figure :| .
Vince is a cool guy and his tunes are top-notch and he covers tons of GM vehicles. If anyone is interested, here's a link to his site:

Love your little Datsun 510 wagon. I always thought those cars were cool. I could only imagine what it must be like with the Ecotec 4 linked to a 5-spd. Great work man.
I've always envisioned doing an Ecotec swap into a Chevy Chevette. I'm sure it's been done, but I've never seen or heard of it done to Datsun 510...all I can say is sweeeet!
Incidently, I know a guy that has two of the Datsun roadsters. One is a 2000, the other I think is a 1600.
BTW, you have a good lookin' old lady.. :wink:
