@Grassroots Garage - First time visiting, binging on and appreciating the Datsun CA series. One critique though I wish the chairs and car were set up in an V pattern. I rather see more of the car than you 😉 Thank you and Cheers from San Francisco

[@Brooklyn_Powers]

So bad ass!

[@sk8ersr20]

holy hell they did the vg35 bore with the wide pistons probably from the vh45? that's stuff you only see on forums, don't know until you try it yourselves or lucky enough to come across some crazy builder

[@XareidProducciones]

is there a list breakdown? Would love to do this to my Pathfinder's VG

[@frankvela1766]

Awesome vg35 !! Question - are you still running a r160 differential? What gears ? I recently mated a 240z r180 3.70 to my vg33 and it seems to like the taller gears.

[@jesusflores411]

[@DanielRios-js1uv]

Have a sweet 69 510 wgn going to get a 370z donor car and transplant drivetrain brakes suspension my lil beast cant wait

[@GrassRootsGarage]

[@ahmednurfariduddincheghani6107]

Seeet bro. Wanna ask. How much cost to make it like you?

[@andrewgreiner1380]

Love it own a supercharged xterra and a datsun roadster srl311 that needs light restoration and new drivetrain can't find u20 parts this just inspired me was going to sr20 swap it but can't afford now I'm going to throw a vg33er in it have a spare supercharger laying in my shop should make for a great car when done thank you for the inspiration

[@importryderify]

Where's this shop at?

[@dadigitechmanjunior]

Someone please tell me where where he got those Pistons.

[@GrassRootsGarage]

We’ll try and find out mate Cheers

[@slowsoftkisses4u]

looking into this swap myself, from what I understand, he states its a 3.5L flat top pistons, that should be NISSAN TITANS it makes a VG33 to VG35

[@Suppboio]

where's the video on that red wagon?

[@GrassRootsGarage]

Zupprezed im just finishing up the edit at the moment. It should be out in the next couple of days

@@GrassRootsGarage thx for the info

[@tommurphy4307]

wouldn't it be easy to break one of those with the VG? my friend chris link and myself did a 73 about 20 years ago and we had a -180 4.11 from an old jdm fairlady that we considered. instead, we got a -200 3.70 viscous from an 89 Z- i just made a new mustache bar and used the bigger diff in it and we really had no regrets. it was a tight push into the crossmember and i had to chuck the little spacers, but it worked out nice. we used a japanese motor with bill good/ nismo billet cams and del west valvetrain in electramotive heads. i made a baby high-rise adapter fr the v65 manifold and, after MUCH road-testing, we ended up using a holley 500cfm 2-barrel. it was a lot of fun and a good little stoplight dragger that smoked a lot of V8s. 510s were cheap and plenty back then in san diego. thumps up for your great vid! i should tell you that chris used the flange-less 280zx halfshafts and bolted the stubs into the r200. minor machine work had to be done to fit them properly. see you at shasta!

Beautiful car.. Not a fan of the FENDER FLARES 🤢🤮

[@trickhotspot9452]

I’m sorry..but Aussies build up the 510’s way better than the yanks

[@GrassRootsGarage]

Can’t say we totally agree with you mate, we absolutely love the styling in the US
