Twin Turbo Datsun 510 - powered by 300ZX Page 5 Wheels/tires

 Wheels are 17in G35 wheels, rear tires are 235/40-17, fronts are 205/40-17 (that size will change later)




I might actually add a little clearance here once I start regularly driving it.

Juuuust enough clearance. Does not rub when driving it.

LED headlights? Check  Daytime running lights? Check! Sequential turn signal ** update 7/10/2025 ** after running this delay for a few days I decided it wasn't as convenient as I thought as there's no way to immediately turn them off/on again as you would to let other drivers know their own headlights are off. -- Original post --- Headlight delay testing. DRL's come on automatically when the key is in ACC mode, headlights require the key in ACC mode plus the OEM switch. Power to the lights pass through an adjustable delay relay which I set to 20 seconds. Turn the key off, and the headlights turn off in 20 seconds.

Purchased in 1995, it's evolution to the current state has been a very slow, long slog. This blog with cover much of this journey. May 2025 - finally assembled enough to make a (very) short trip to a 5/10 day event Drone shot with everything else black and white - really brings the color out.  Another view at the event

Twin Turbo Datsun 510 - powered by 300ZX Page 6 Trunk power distribution

The big panel is actually sold by Techno Toy Tuning, I just reinforced it and then cut holes and ran from there. The top of the battery box actually flips open and doubles as a lid to hold the battery down in the box. Here you can see the lower tray pivot and the arms that prevent the battery tray from swinging out too far. Battery tray and aux fuse panel open
