Description: Back in March we reported on plans to revive Datsun. Enthusiasts hoping for a return of the cool, affordable cars of the 60s (such as the 240Z and 510), however, were left underwhelmed by Nissan'...Add Comments3
Chris BridgersOct 05, 2012 Sounds pretty wicked, these things r fun when they get moving!
Alex RenaudOct 05, 2012 That may not sound like much, but she weighs only 1810 lbs wet, with me in it. So she's gonna move.
Alex RenaudOct 05, 2012 I am currently restoring a 1969 Datsun 510 for the street and track. I love that little thing. It's hyper tuned, stroked, cammed, bored, L16 engine will crank out 246 HP at the wheels.

Josh StephensMay 11, 2013 Wow you ppl need to read more thoroughly
Sebastian SorokaOct 06, 2012 Yea what's up with you guys? That is NOT a typo. Look it up. In order to compete with the Tata it must be priced that way. Tata has a starting price of around $2000.00
Paul DickeyOct 06, 2012 Nope not a typo. Nissan is pricing these new datsuns around three thousand dollars and selling them in emerging markets
Alex RenaudOct 06, 2012 Sorry, I totally misread the article, the 3 grand was a typo.
Alex RenaudOct 06, 2012 Hey guys, the article is talking about these things going for 3 grand brand new 40+ years ago - not what the new models will cost when they come out. And I agree, it's going to on par with Scion.
Chris BridgersOct 05, 2012 3k? u could import one for under 15k if done roght
Rafael VerissimoOct 05, 2012 sadly not for america but I will surely Import one.... these cars are awesome
Paul DickeyOct 05, 2012 It won't hit the us market and yes it will be priced around 3 grand.
Ben NortonOct 05, 2012 Sadly not for America... but I wish it would be! Even if they sold them for 10k over here they would go like crazy. Probably don't meet our crash standards
Cody FullertonOct 05, 2012 In some markets it will be priced like that. It would get laughed off the US market though
Boyd BoudreauxOct 05, 2012 No car will hit the market at 3000.00 has to be 30,000
JoshuaOct 06, 2012 If ever... Maybe a CA18.. But I agree this cars are better with numbers matching
Alex RenaudOct 06, 2012 Good point, Jackson, those engines are great; I just meant that they don't belong in the PL510s.
Jackson BondOct 05, 2012 @alex, i agree the original motors are beastly, but you can't call the sr20 a garbage motor!
Alex RenaudOct 05, 2012 Then they tend to push (under steer) into corners when you drive them hard.
Alex RenaudOct 05, 2012 Hey, this looks just like mine. I've kept mine period correct with a NA L16, none of this SR, RB, VG garbage. Those engine tend to weigh more than the L-series engines, which throws off the near perfect 50-50 balance from the factory (front heavy).
Zaire WilkinsOct 05, 2012 reminds me of a BMW 3 series
Zach SullivanOct 05, 2012 @Dan I was watching something on speed channel a couple years ago and a guy had a time attack 510 with either a rb25 or rb26 I don't remember which but it was a rocket with wheels
Wayne Joseph BoreanOct 05, 2012 I had a 510. Great little car, you could drive it down the road sideways, looking through the driver's side window to see the road.
Scared the hell out of some friends of mine by doing that while they were in the car!
