Hey, sorry I missed this post.

First off, I'm old(er), so experience. I've f*cked a lot of stuff up.

Cut my teeth on a Datsun 510, had it for 14 years, but I was "poor" (as were the quality of my mods) and then the divorce... My ex-father-in-law was a former Datsun mechanic and had lots of connections. He helped me build my first engine. Another friend taught me how to rebuild manual transmissions. Suspension I had to learn on my own mostly. No internet then, so books. I still have my copy of "How to Make Your Car Handle" (Copyright 1981!).

That said, I've spent a lot of time on this forum and e90Post. Straight up, these two forums are the best source for info (with a little filtering) for these cars.

Still learning, never stop.
