Our Datsun Classics sticker is a great way of advertising your support for classic Datsun racing, below is some history from wikipedia
Nissan’s first entrance into Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) racing was a bust. The company, which at that time was known as Datsun, had a West Coast manager give two Datsun 2000 Roadsters to a family member to enter into West Coast SCCA competition. The best these cars were able to do was a 12th-place finish. Less than three years later, however, the Datsun 510 and then the Z-cars became the cream of the crop. The company’s dominance in the sport started when the main company effort moved from a regional manager supporting his son-in-law to company headquarters giving its full support to an established race team with a mad owner.
The 510 range became famous for Nissan’s rallying successes outside Japan and paved the way for greater Nissan sales internationally.
The Datsun 510 released to the North American market had a Hitachi downdraft-carbureted 1.6L L-series I4 engine, with an advertised gross power of 96 hp (72 kW), a claimed top speed of 100 mph, front disc brakes, four-wheel independent suspension (MacPherson struts in front and semi-trailing arms in rear), except the wagons, which had a solid live axle with leaf springs in back.
The series was rear-wheel drive, with either a four-speed manual transmission or a three-speed automatic. Two-door sedan, four-door sedan, and four-door station wagon variants were available. It achieved 20 to 30 mpg in factory trim (U.S.). Japanese-domestic-market (JDM) models were also available in a two-door coupe body style with either a 1.6L or a 1.8L (1973) L-Series engine. 510s, in some markets, offered twin Hitachi side-draft carburetors, which were a smaller version of the British SU (Skinner’s Union) design used on Jaguars and MGs.[citation needed] These engines also used enhanced compression and camshaft profiles to produce more power. SSS models (not offered in North America) offered upgraded instrumentation and interior trim, as well as appropriate exterior badges. All North American model 510s received anti-sun glass from 1970 on.
