What things have gone wrong with the car?

-Clutch master cylinder/slave cylinder

-Door handles (3) broke off, replaced

-Piston on rear hatch

-Carburettor became clogged

-Plastic interior panels and upholstery began to deteriorate

General comments?

This was a great car. Was reliable even at 200,000 miles! I drove it through high school and it regularly got 35-40mpg with no breakdowns. I would buy it back if I could find it again, that's how great this car was. I replaced it with its newer brethren, the Nissan Sentra. Also a great car, but more problematic.

Well I have a 1980 Datsun 310 GX Coupe Hatchback. I'm only fourteen, working on it to make it nice for when I get my licence. It's a really neat car I think.

I am looking for parts for a 1980 310 GX.

Please email: sgergen301@aol.com if you have these parts:

Right steering knuckle/hub/rotor/shaft assembly,

Strut not needed (4 bolts separates it)

Prefer with shaft, will consider without.

Datsun310GX trim for rear quarters. (3 hole mounting)

Hood with hinges.

May be for sale when knuckle is on it to make it driveable once again. Great motor, body rough.
