"Hey guys, I've been eyeing the Datsun 510 S-Chassis as a project car for a while now and I'm thinking of going full-on build mode. The sleek design and legendary rear-wheel drive handling are just too enticing to pass up. Anyone have any experience with or inspiration for building an S-Chassis, or know of any notable builds out there to take a page from?"

"Dude, if you're building a 510 S-Chassis, gotta go old school with a Datsun SR20DET swap. That's where the real power is at. Just make sure you've got the right gearing and diff setup to handle the power."

"Hey guys, just a thought - have you checked out the guys at 510 Factory? Their build ideas for the S-chassis are straight fire and super inspiring. I'm thinking of getting a 510 myself and their work has given me some serious goals to aim for"

Yo, what's up guys? Just saw some amazing inspiration from those guys who rebuilt their S-Chassis 510 with a RB26DETT swap - it's giving me serious build envy! Can anyone share their own experiences with sourcing parts for this project?

"Just had a thought on a Datsun build - what about integrating a modern EV drivetrain into a 510 S-Chassis? I've seen some wild modded cars using Leaf motors, it could be a sick way to breathe new life into an old chassis. Anyone have any experience with EV swaps?"

I just saw the render of that 510 S-chassis with a Z32 V8 swap, looks insane! The power would be ridiculous, but I'm not sure how well it'd handle the weight. Anyone have any experience with V8 swaps in Datsuns?
