A Datsun 510 racing car used in vintage racing.

The Datsun 510 was a series of the Nissan Bluebird sold from 1968 to 1973, and offered outside the U.S. as the Datsun 1600. According to AutoWeek's G.D. Levy, The 510 has often been called the "poor man's BMW." The 510's engineering was inspired by contemporary European sedans, particularly the 1966 BMW 1600-2, incorporating an SOHC engine, MacPherson strut suspension in front and independent, semi-trailing arms in back.[1] The European-influenced sheet metal design is attributed to a young Datsun in-house designer, Teruo Uchino.

The Datsun 510 released and sold in many parts of the world differs with the markets it reached. In South America, Asia ( excluding Japan )and in Africa , the 510 was sold as a leaf sprung Datsun ( all models, sedan, 2 door and the station wagon ) and the engine used was the J15 engine, which is a push rod motor 4 cylinders in line engine, similar but older than the A series engine used in the Datsun 1200 and B210s of later days. Many of those Datsun 510s exist today, no IRS suspension, and push rod engines were the common denominator. This Datsun 510 was also known as Datsun 1500 ( J15 engine ) and Datsun 1300 ( J13 engine ). In these markets, the IRS Datsun with the L series engine was the Datsun Violet, aka 160JSSS. In the US, the Datsun 710 was the non IRS version of the Datsun 160JSSS. It appears the Datsun 510 was favored by Nissan in North America, while the Datsun 160JSSS was the choice outside of North America.


The Datsun 510 released to the U.S. market came originally with the Hitachi downdraft carbureted 1.6 L L-series engine, with an advertised 96 hp (72 kW), front disc brakes, 4-wheel independent suspension (MacPherson strut front and semi trailing arm rear- wagons had a solid rear live axle and leaf springs in back), rear wheel drive, and either a 4-speed manual or a 3-speed automatic transmission. 2-door sedan, 4-door sedan, and 4-door station wagon variants were available. It achieved 20-30 mpg in factory trim (U.S.). Non-US spec models were also available in a 2-door coupe body style with the "SSS" packages, which included a 1.6 or an uprated 1.8 L L-Series engine and dual Hitachi sidedraft carburetors, which were a copy of the earlier British Skinner's Union (SU) design used on Jaguars and MGs. SSS models also had numerous other small changes like sports instrument cluster, tinted windows, different interior trim and of course 'SSS' emblems on the rear qtr vents and grille.

One triumph of the early Nissan/Datsun cars is that many of the parts are interchangeable — engines, transmissions, suspension setups, etc., were all similar enough to swap with minor modifications. This allowed the Datsun 510 to be easily upgraded from the 1.6 L engine to the 2.0 L (& later the FJ20) L20B engine, and to go from the 4-speed manual transmission to the more versatile 5-speed transmission made available for the later 200SX/HL510 and Nissan Z-cars.

The original 510 achieved such a good reputation that Nissan resurrected the "510" badge on the completely different HL510 automobile line, which was in fact the JDM version of the Nissan Stanza. The "late model" 510 used a live axle in place of the original 510's independent rear suspension, thus the handling was decidedly inferior to the earlier model. The Nissan Stanza was a compact car introduced by Nissan in 1977 and was a badge-engineered brother to the Nissan Auster and Nissan Violet. ...
