Vehicle Description
This 1971 Datsun 510 is a modified Brock Racing Enterprises tribute
to the #46 two time SCCA B Sedan
Series Champion driven by John Morton. The car is powered by a 2.0
liter L20 inline-four engine equipped
with a BRE intake, dual side-draft Mikuni carburetors, and a dogleg
5-speed manual gearbox with a
limited slip differential. Wide-body fender flares and a Trans
Am-style front splitter were added. Projector
headlights feature HID bulbs, and the body was painted and fitted
with BRE tribute decals and the #46
livery some time ago. Documentation and our research indicates that
this work was done in the early
2000's. The car was held for over 16 years by a Datsun collector
and enthusiast from Whittier, CA. The car
changed hands in 2013.
Since then, it has undergone mechanical sorting and safety upgrades
and has been used sparingly. BRE-
inspired paint and livery have been applied to the body, which has
been flared and fitted with a front
splitter. Wilwood brakes and adjustable coilovers were added, and
interior modifications include a roll
cage, bucket seats, harnesses, and a Nardi steering wheel. The
Wilwood disc brakes are equipped with
four-piston calipers in front and two-piston calipers in the rear
with braided stainless steel brake and
clutch lines.
The L20 inline-four is equipped with a BRE intake and remote oil
filter adapter, dual side-draft
Mikuni/Solex carburetors, a large capacity radiator, a Magnaflow
muffler, and an MSD 6A ignition system.
AN fittings with braided stainless lines were used, a new strut
tower brace was added, and the valve
cover was powder coated. A dyno sheet viewable in the gallery
indicates 132 horsepower at the wheels,
after the car was mechanically freshened in 2016. Blake spoke Libre
wheels are equipped with Toyo RA1
tires. The adjustable coilover suspension includes upgraded sway
bars, adjustable front control arms,
and Roll Center Adapters on the front suspension with polyurethane
bushings utilized throughout.
Mechanically, the car is a blast to drive. It pulls strong in all
gears, shifts smooth and brakes straight. It is
quick an nimble while giving good feedback to the driver. The car
is street legal, and said it has never
been raced.
Datsun 510 2 door sedans are rare and the market for these cars are
on fire. The example here is a high-
quality tribute car with really nice BRE bits and mechanical
upgrades. Drive it around town and to your
favorite track or autocross event. What a great show piece to dress
up any collection. Documentation
includes Owners manual, service receipts, dyno sheet etc.
