Alex RenaudDec 29, 2012 Hey Wayne, I have a 1969 Datsun 510, but I didn't know they built them roughly 100 years before that! Just kidding. I know what you mean about dimes - they were made to drive sideways.
Wayne Joseph BoreanDec 29, 2012 I had a 1872 Datsun 510. Fantastic handling car, I was able to scare the wits out of people by driving it sideways (yes, sideways) down the road.
The only fault with the car was that like most cars of the era it rusted out.
Nick SchneeDec 29, 2012 SSS. Because naming your car S or SS is too mainstream.
Alvaro PerezDec 30, 2012 Learn how to shut the fuck up
Alvaro PerezDec 30, 2012 I wonder if jack brandon is in his parent basement playing need for speed and is acting like a he's bad ass with his virtual BMW
Jack HowardDec 30, 2012 And Europe has great luxury and performance cars. I meant to put that in with the other comment.
Jack HowardDec 30, 2012 America has best bang for your buck and trucks. Japan has great economical and reliable cars. There are some variables but that is the basic thing.
Jack HowardDec 30, 2012 You still fail to see what we are doing. We aren't bashing European cars nor saying America or Japan is better. They all have their places and each is good for something the other is not.
Jordan SmithDec 30, 2012 Anyways, I like this car. It's a sweet little Japanese ride that I'd love to have. Maybe as a track car.
Jordan SmithDec 30, 2012 Damn I missed another argument.
Jack HowardDec 30, 2012 Get your head out of your ass. Listen to Carlton and William and understand that they know way more than you will for a long ass time.
Aaron CrispDec 30, 2012 There's only enough room in this app for one Jack.
Jack HowardDec 30, 2012 Dammit Jack, you are ruining my name.
John HylandDec 30, 2012 @Jack: have you ever once left a comment on here that wasn't with intent to piss people off? Grow up
William DownsDec 30, 2012 And Carlton sneaks in for the K.O
Carlton SalmonDec 30, 2012 ...you learn to drive a variety of cars like I have. I've driven more than 200 different vehicles over 30 years so at least I can have a valid first hand opinion on what I'm talking about. I suggest before your next comment that you do the same.
Carlton SalmonDec 30, 2012 ...a certain marque is incredibly immature and narrow-minded - especially as you have absolutely no knowledge or experience of the cars you've mentioned other that what you've read in a magazine or seen on tv. Before hating on others I'd suggest...
Carlton SalmonDec 30, 2012 ...of exotic cars and those who regularly have to work on their old crap car just to keep it on the road. We all have dreams of owning something special, Jack, and to slag off someone who simply doesn't have the same enthusiasm as you for...
Carlton SalmonDec 30, 2012 Jack, I have been a BMW owner for nearly 28 years and true lover of the marque - but I would never bash anyone who doesn't like them or any other car. This app is for car enthusiasts from all walks of life - rich and poor; those with a garage full...
Donte PerinoDec 30, 2012 Sorry Jack, but you are horribly incorrect. Have a nice day!
Aaron CrispDec 30, 2012 Any person that has ever commented on CB > Jack
William DownsDec 30, 2012 And those aren't my opinions that information from a master mechanic at BMW, and is a prime example of what first hand expierence offeres versus what u read and see on tv
William DownsDec 30, 2012 Ehhh you could if u wanted to tim but its gonna require a second hand cars price of specialty tools to maintain and work on them, not to mention u better be an electrical wiz to chase down those world famous BMW shorts... 50% of BMW services at dealerships are electrical related, after that its random sensor failures, hydraulic problems in the motor and cooling system problems
Tim PuckettDec 30, 2012 @jack you know what you can't do on a BMW Mr. Prestigious college? Work on the goddamn thing your self is
Is that something you can do with your pos BMW? No, didn't think so
William DownsDec 30, 2012 Time to grow up, u say your mature and love cars but u dont, people that love cars love and respect all cars, not bash on everything that not BMW and call it trash.
William DownsDec 30, 2012 Knowledge is earned threw expierence, with hands on expierences not just what u read in magazine witch are never biased towards certain car company's... no not ever
William DownsDec 30, 2012 Hahahah omg I'm dying from laughter, this jack kid is hilarious, your mature... rite, and I can fly like super man. Its not N opinion when u constantly attack others cars that aren't BMW and insult the people that like them cause they do t want a BMW... guess what everyone like different things but how would u know, you were raised a snobby little bitch and will grow up being an immature snobby li...
Patrick SchalkDec 30, 2012 Jack, lets face it, you are 13, still living off mommy and daddy, haven't had the real world slap you in the face yet, and are most likely bullied at school so you take your anger out on CarBuzz.
Aaron CrispDec 30, 2012 @David Amen, credibility is gone. Jack is the new worst fanboy on here. So much ignorance.
David HicksDec 30, 2012 Another article where Jack has used BMW to try and bash a Japanese manufacturer, all credibility has gone out the window and now Jack will be labelled as a BMW fanboy.
Dhruv CbDec 30, 2012 Jack so the nsx gtr and the supra are overrated? You're an underrated douche. But I give you 5/5 for being a douche
Michael HendersonDec 30, 2012 At least this isn't fugly like a modern BMW. Babies vomit and grown men start to cry when the see the front of a BMW, they are hideous looking cars. Im also aware that there are fans of them on here so im prepared for the offensive from those now.
Aiden BassDec 30, 2012 Jack. U MAD BRO? Jesus dude this is a fucking CAR APP, not American car, european car, Korean car, but ALL FUCKING CARS.
Patrick SchalkDec 29, 2012 Jack I wish I could explain how idiotic that statement is. But someone else will probably do it for me
Alex RenaudDec 29, 2012 Hey Jack, have you driven one of these cars (or any of the ones that you mentioned), and driven then very hard? If not, your statements have no foundation.
Jorge GonzalezDec 29, 2012 I like these for some reason, any given day or season. See I can rap too.

Alex RenaudDec 29, 2012 All of the 510s/Bluebirds/1600s (same car, just different names for different markets) came from the factory with a 1.6L L16 inline 4 cylinder engine. The drivetrain on these cars was virtually indestructible.
Jordan SmithDec 30, 2012 I understand everyone has their own opinion but I have never heard anyone say the R8 is ugly till now.
Jack HowardDec 30, 2012 Did he dare say the R8 was ugly😑🔫
James SalabaDec 30, 2012 To colby r8 is ugly and maybe bmw m3 e46 I would take but that's only one BMW that is worth of anything
Chris GainesDec 30, 2012 lol jack, was it that hard to post that second comment and stop making useless sweeping generalizations? im sure of you look hard enoughaap
William DownsDec 30, 2012 Cause no one is overly obsessed with European cars * cough* jack *cough*
Colby ChurchDec 29, 2012 Really James? You would take this over a R8 or a new M6? That's pretty silly bro. Haha
James SalabaDec 29, 2012 Would take this over any Audi or BMW
Larry MartinoDec 29, 2012 This is perfect with the modern engine and wheels with the classic lines. Im in love
David GuerreroDec 29, 2012 Agreed, faves are the E30 and 240z. Only old cars I like.
Ray MorenoDec 29, 2012 Maaaan I don't know about all you out there, but I love me a 60-70s coupe 3 series and Datsuns mmmmm.

Jon AshleyDec 30, 2012 I almost forgot, at a car meet I saw another 510 with an 3 rotor TT swap from a 91 RX7. It was set up for the 1/4 mile. I forgot the times he said he was running.

Alex RenaudDec 29, 2012 Yeah, a lot of guys get these things down to 1800lbs dry - that's my plan.
Coleman DuCharmeDec 29, 2012 200 hp in a car this light? Sounds nice.
Luis Daniel AngilelloDec 31, 2012 Wait! None of my previous comments made sense.... Ok what I meant to say is that there are cars with 4 pedals, and if you were learning to drive and you found 4 pedals in the car.... You'd shit your pants. Better?
Jack HowardDec 29, 2012 Is a Manuel transmission for Mexicans?
Kieran HillaryDec 29, 2012 @Jack you should have said jk because you had me worried for a second
Jack HowardDec 29, 2012 I was kidding. I know how do drive a manual
Austin WhitenerDec 29, 2012 Most kids now days only know park drive and reverse ( automatic) most haven't even heard of an Manuel transmission
David GuerreroDec 29, 2012 If you don't know what 3 pedals are for... You don't belong here. All real cars have 3 pedals (except super cars). This is not a place for Prius drivers who don't know what a clutch is. Sorry.
William DownsDec 30, 2012 I'm with Alex love it when people keep a period engine in the car all tuned up, makes it that much better
Alex RenaudDec 29, 2012 It's too bad that the owner didn't keep with a period correct engine, such as a hyper modified L16, or a L24 straight 6 from a S30 Z car (after some big mods to the firewall).
