Crazy Clean SR20-Powered Datsun Engine Bay: Team Wild Cards 510 Wagon

Datsun 510 coupes are JDM bread and butter. Sedans don't get as much love. But wagons? You barely see the things. And that's exactly why John Ross built this one: because no one builds these wagons. Oh yeah, and pre-smog stuff. We check out and appreciate his attention to detail in this build, and geek out over how clean that engine bay is.

[@rscamarolover]

That yellow wagon is super Hella sweet

[@MrBigR928]

Love the 510 wagons! I had a home boy with a 510 & a nasty 13B in that puppy & that wagon was feared around Gardena & the west side. Cool build👍🏿

[@johnbehneman1546]

Great video Larry!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!! I love it!!!! Totally awssome family hauler!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!

[@midrangetorque]

AWESOME!!! I love 510 wagons! I just wish they weren't so tiny!

[@twoeightythreez]

Consider a datsun 810 wagon then. L24E six and a lot bigger than a 510. Also The early 1980s maxima wagons were slightly bigger and looked very similar to a 510 wagon. They were coil spring rear ends so probably could be made to handle similarly since they both had live rear axles.

[@midrangetorque]

@@twoeightythreez Ehh. I do like the Maxima style 810s, but I bet it's really hard to find them let alone parts for them. It seems S30s are the most popular then the 510s. I don't know.

Volvo 242 with a 6.0/4L80e. I’m almost done with it. It’s gonna be great to finally do burn outs

[@reidbtable]

Wagons ftw....always!

[@Marcury84]

The only thing I'm jealous of is the plug for where the original column shifter used to be.

[@tommurphy4307]

you used to be able to the column blankers from nissan pdc. the US-spec 510s did not come with a column shift 3N71B- only the earlier cars with the horrible Letchworth 'full automatic' trans had column shift.

[@watchtower5158]

We coming from the same era. Immaculate build buddy👍

[@CCDzine]

That 1200 in the background!

[@fattkidd1298]

I have a 70 wagon but only a L18 duel side draft webbers . Here in east Tennessee I have only ever seen 1 other datsun 510 and its rusted out so bad . Nice Wagon

[@dikeyawilliams7391]

I miss my first car, 1970 510 wagon!!!

[@sherwingomez3203]

I luv that KP 61 starlet

[@SandrodelGreco]

So good!

[@999benhonda]

Yellow not my color of choice but the 510 is nice, and wagons with some power under the hood and rwd are always cool. Best I've been able to own was a 92 volvo 740 turbo wagon.

[@sirrevalot2543]

Very cool wagon and those Recaros are off a German car, late MK2 GLI probably.

[@MrJearley6]
