What Makes The Datsun 510 So Great?

Hey guys welcome back to the channel and today we are going over what makes the wonderful Datsun 510 (based off the Datsun bluebird and called the Datsun 1600 in other countries) so great! This little tuner car was a cheap and reliable Jdm sports car before they were even a thing! I hope you enjoy and if you do, please be sure to like, comment another video you wanna see, and subscribe for more!!

The Datsun 510 is one of my favorite looking wagons of all time.

Datsun (Yutaka Katayama) clearly made a car with potential, but the goal for the 510 was to simply be a cheap, versatile, appealing car for American buyers. Pete Brock Racing; John Morton, Bob Sharp; etc. (and promo by Datsun) get credit for seeing the potential in the 510 and inspiring buyers to modify their very basic 510s for track and rally racing. The 510 was generally not an inspiring car in basic form and would not have inspired buyers to “tune” their cars if not for the success/promotion of Datsun racing teams. It then was the overall sales success of the 510 that lead to subsequent Datsun cars/trucks that had larger engines, etc. that could be swapped into the lighter 510 chassis relatively cheaply. I think it was really the creativity and enthusiasm of the Datsun buyers themselves for kickstarting a tuner culture that helped the 510 become the car we know as an icon today.

This has always been my dream project car and I’ve always wanted to swap an SR20 in one, also let’s not forget Paul Newman raced one back in the 70’s

I'm rebuilding a 69 2 door at the moment. Gotta correct you though, they came with drums in the rear.

Great vid of honoring this Jdm legend that started it all

Great vid on the 510! As an owner of a 71, I loved hearing some new info about the iconic Datsun!

[joehuerta]

It funny how the Miata comes up in “almost “ every video 😊

[maynorquevedo]

I have one with an sr20det and I love it

They did not have rear disk brakes, just in the front. My 510 has stock brakes and stops from 60mph in less than 70 feet.

May God continue to bless both Peter Brock, John Morton and (edit) Mr. K (RIP). I was under the age 10 when I first noticed a BRE 510 model kit - and I was smitten. THEN....came the BRE 240z. I never forgot either car or any of these great men.
I've still not entirely forgiven NISSAN for abandoning the Datsun name/badge in N. America. P.S.: "FUN TO DRIVE RATIO." P:S:S: NISSAN had everything to do with Japanese military transport and hardware in WWII. It's okay. We're all friends now.

Do one on jcw mini’s .. a little bit biased being that I just bought one lol

Hey man. I’ve been wondering where you live? Are you in Alberta or some cold state in the US?

Hey I'm very new to the car community. I'm thinking of buying a german car from either Mercedes, Audi or BMW and not really sure which is best at what. Can anyone provide any info or tips for me? Would really appreciate it, I was looking at the BMW 750i as it caught my attention, is this a solid car? Probably like 2010-2013 model. I'm looking for a sedan that is kinda sporty looking. Ofc a good car is a great bonus lol

[oklo]

The green sedan is South African🙄...the plate says "umswenko" which basically refers to style and fashion...I think its Zulu🤗
