    lol - yeah i do take care of her, and no i dont do too many 'peelies' in her. I get driven around by my mates... We have a 96 TE magna that we drive around mostly... So Kermie (my car) gets left at home.

    Thanks all for the great comments, i didnt think many more ppl would have the love for her that i do :D

    Hi, great to hear that your car has been owned from new (family), not many people would have a '78 C210 from new. With regard to an engine conversion, i know from experience an RB20det red nics performed quite well for the relative weight of the C210, but that was 5 years ago and the motor is rare (good motor)with parts also rare (esp air flow meter) these days. On the plus side, it fitted in perfectly except for engine mount (you had to whack in one-side of the engine mount bolt as it was approx 10 mm out). I have, at the moment, a 4 door in good condition which i am planning to put in an rb20det silver from r32. The engine is much cheaper these days and parts a common. Total cost would be about $3000 fully complianced.

    Best of luck with your car. Also, upgrade your front brakes and shocks also if having more power. Also fit a bigger radiator from a datsun bluebird, because they cool a bit better.

    bear with me on this i am currently adding and editing posts..

    A little more info i have managed to source.

    The c210 range came with rims in 13in and 14 inch diameter..

    the Ti and Wagon Came with 3 types of wheel option..

    the first is a hubcap that is plain    the second a hubcap with "SKYLINE" printed on it and a chrome rim, and the the third is a plain wheel with a plastic cap over the center...

    Hi, i think the C210 came only with 14 inch wheels in 185 and 195 size.

    GC210 transplant

    Hi Everyone,

    I would like to know if anyone who owns a C210 Skyline, has transplanted a RB20DET or RB25DET with any success? I would be thrilled if someone has done this and is willing to let me ask him/her of any questions that I have during the istall. I purchased a '78 C210 4 door that is in very good nik, happy that it handles better than the R33 RB25DETskyline I use to have. Remember it only weighs 1200 odd kilos, and has the same rear suspension set up (mostly) as the R33. If you have never driven one, trust me, it drives better than a R33!

    Whats My GC210 Worth?

    Kane,

    I just paid $2000 privately, for a 4 door, 5 speed, '78 C210 with 248 000 original kms. no rust, original wheels, steering wheel, seat trim etc. The only reason I bought it is for transplanting an rb motor into it. I could not see anyone paying more than $1500 privately for it if they were to buy it (four door) and keep as is. If you have the 2 door version (good for you) expect $2,000 to $2,500 maximum. Greater demand.

    If you found someone who was going to transplant the motor like me expect $2,000 4 door and $3000 2 door.

    The C210, to me is a classic nissan that was very underrated (only the engine -power- was its downfall). Good Luck selling it.

    However, I am missing all the Skyline badges on the boot and side rear tail guards. If you still have those and you decide to sell it for parts, give me a tinker.

    Martin
