310GX’s 1981 Datsun 310

Updates!!! I have painted 95% of the interior of the car. Black with red trim, or red with black trim, either way it doesnt matter, but it looks 200% better. Beginning: Middle: Now prepare to be amazed: Ive got to redo the details in a week or so, but it came out pretty good I think. I also put some adjustable spring helpers in the back and raised the ass end of the car a total of about 5 inches. It rides a bit rougher, but responds more quickly and corners more predictably. I also took the carburetor off of a L20 motor (2000cc straight 4 engine most used on trucks and 2000 roadsters) and put a reduction converter on the base as to act like a high rise carb (and so it would fit my manifold. :) ). I modified the choke so that it wouldnt come one anymore because it was way whacked seeing as how I am putting that big ol' thing on a small motor. I had to retard the timing a little, and had to adjust it everyday until I got it perfect. Now it runs like a champ, and hauls ass. And I still get almost 30mpg. Cant complain about that.

I rebuilt the motor, rebuilt the carb, new clutch slave, new brake pads, new wheels and Rims, replaced the original muffler with a cherry bomb, replaced oil pressure switch, replaced temp gauge sensor, replaced speedo cable, replaced speedo head. The speedo head was a pain, and had to be salvaged from a 210. Now according to manufactures specs, the A14 engine came with a whopping 63horses at 5600 rpm(As listed here Nissan/Datsun N10/310/Cherry Specs). I added approx. 15hp to my car by stuffing a metal rod through the catalytic converter (was pretty much hollow anyways), and replacing the muffler with a 2 1/2" diameter cherry bomb. I have a set of old school ENKEI 13" streeters all the way around with some Falken 185/60R13s on the back, and Federal 175/60R13s on the front. I also put rubber blocks in the rear springs (which by the way, I have independant suspension all the way around) to raise the rear until I get some air shocks for it. The front shocks could be replaced, but do the job without complaint. The most awesome part about this car I think, is the fact that those little windows on the side of the car behind the driver/passenger doors, roll all the way down. Something I have never seen before on windows that small. One tell tale way of knowing that it belonged to my dad, is because it has a trailer hitch. Of which you can see in the pictures I have. Im leaving it there, so if anyone decides they want to eat Datsun for lunch, they can eat my trailer hitch instead. Total cost of repairs: Motor: 120 Carb rebuild kit: 20 Clutch Slave: 30 Brake Pads: 20 Wheels Rims: 120 Cherry Bomb: 30 Oil Pressure Switch: 20 Temp Gauge Sensor: 20 Speedo Cable: 45 Speedo Head: 15 Total: $440 in parts only!
