This page will show suspension work and other modifications as well.jaimesix's 1974 Datsun 710 jaimesix's 1974 Datsun 710To begin with, my latest catch, a nice " RaceMark " performance steering wheel. It is a small 12 inch racing wheel that I found in the net. It is found in most racing cars, GT classes. Good looks and better steering. I like it! Here a pix of the original steering wheel....felt like a school bus's jaimesix's 1974 Datsun 710 jaimesix's 1974 Datsun 710

For the rear and front suspension, Addco sway bars will give the car a racing cornering ability. Koni units model 80-1873 Special "D" are the indicated shocks for the rear of this Datsun 710. The front has Mulholland struts and thicker shorter coil springs.

Here some rear Koni shocks pictures.

Some pictures of the 710 after some lowering . Front shorter springs and in the rear my bud Brad tried some re-arrangement of the leaf pring leaves that decambers the assemblies on ea side. It is in the testing process now. I think it is a little hopping. I might go the regular decambering route after testing this present condition....stay tuned.

I just installed { JAN 09.} the front sway bar ( one inch diametre ). Works excellent, feels like a Corvette on corners. Very cool!!! I have yet to install the rear sway bar { ADDCCO kit } ( still working on my 610, later on I will dedicate myself totally to my 710.) I will post some pictures soon.

  March 09. Added 2 gauges to the control panel. An oil pressure gauge, and a vaccuum gauge. I also took the radio off the car, radio which was not an original Datsun unit, and radio which was not working properly. A new sound system is in the works. So far, empty space that will be occupied by 3 new gauges that will help manage the engine performance expeditiously and with no delay.

  Here some photos of the stock sway bar mounted on car. You can see on the left photo, the sway bar and bracket are located between the engine crossmember and the tension rod bracket. The tension rod bracket is on the right of the swaybar/bracket and the engine x-member to the left of said swaybar/bracket.

  The second photo shows the sway bar bracket underneath the tension rod bracket, which is the metal piece to the lower left of the sway bar/bracket/bushing.

 On these two following photos you can see the sway bar bracket as seen from under the car/bracket. Photo on left shows the tension rod bracket, and one of the big bolts that attaches it ( left side of photo ). The three hole end of the sway bar bracket goes underneath this tension rod bracket. The right side of same photo shows the other end of the sway bar bracket, which has one single hole for a single smaller attaching bolt.

    The second photo shows exactly that single hole end of bracket, which is located adjacent to the engine x-member.

   This photo shows the bracket and the longer end in position underneath the tension rod bracket. Next photo shows the sway bar bushing made for the larger one in performance sway bar.  Following is a photo of the sway bar bracket and  a photo of stock sway bar in bracket with stock bushing.

 Some photos of the front 1 in performance sway bar in comparison with the stock sway bar.

   Note similar shape, yet larger diametre. The second photo shows the  front Datsun 710 performance sway bar ( one in ) which is similar to the performance Datsun 610 front sway bar ( similar front suspension ). To the right of this bar you see both a stock Datsun 610 and a Datsun 710 sway bars.

Hi Jaimes Thanks , yeah I am looking for parts too. Seems like most stuff has to come from Australia. The things I need are a new front windsheild with lower chrome trim , RX3 badges , and a new ignition set w keys. Everything else is there , I even have the stock chrome wheel trim put away. Phil's Rotories and Fast Fours seem to have alot of stuff, and I can find stuff on EBay as well. I have found aftermarket wheel flare kits . Check out Diamond Racing Wheels , they will make you custom wheels for around $650.00 for a set of 4 . My friend has them on his drift Miata w 50 series Toyo R888's , man they lok sweet. TTYL Joey

My car is not for sale John. I tried to look at your link, but it does not work. Perhaps someone was selling a Datsun 710, and used my photos because he had no photos of the car for sale, I guess.
