i have a 71 510

[Fairlady280Z]

Nice bro! Always loved the 510s, I was wondering what motor do they come with stock? And I think that maybe 510s are the USDM Bluebird, because the Bluebird's chassis code is 510...am I right?

[CapnNismo]

No, the 510 was known as the 510 in America. I believe it was known elsewhere in the world as the Bluebird.

[traitorjacknif]

In Japan it was called the Bluebird and other countries it was called the 1600. Mine has the L16 4 cylinder rated at 96 hp. Im looking for a L20 but thet are hard to find in FL

Yeah thats what I meant bro, JDM version is BLuebird. Jack, why dont you look for a L28E instead? Much easier to find plus theres also a turbo model to it. Only problem is that its EFI. If you wanna run carbed look for a L24 from a 240Z. And where on your car is that plate? I want to see if my car has one like that

Only a L16,L18 or L20b will fit, engine bay is only 29.5 x 30 inches. A co-worker of mine has a 620 truck with a L20B with a blow by turbo setup running 28 psi about 400hp to the ground, Im trying to get a some money so i can do something similar.
The spec plate is located on my strut tower, but im not sure wheres yours is.

[CapnNismo]

Normally that plate should be along the firewall. At least, that's how it is on early 90s/late 80s Nissans.

geez...i once have a 280zx and a classic 240z and tried putting in a CA18DET in it when i fried the old stock.! yeah it runs great!just like the old L24 stock.sound a little funny though,alot different,coz i can easily get a high rev.compare the low torque-strong L24..honestly i did'nt enjoy the 280zx that much coz it feels heavy.unlike the smaller 240z, man i can feel my ass on the ground! but sadly, those goodtimes were gone now,have to be practical and got a 98 cefiro instead..more parts,better rides! but hey...its still Nissan!
