Silent Shadow

I was prepared to pay like 900 bucks for mine lol. Thankfully i didnt have to pay that much. It was more like 6-something landed.

wow it my old parts car!! Good too see the ol c210 getting the attention it deserves mate :-) and overall, what a collection!!

Im pretty sure importmonster sent my tail lights to my door in bris and i didnt have to organise anything. Ill dog through my old records when i get home and have a look.

Would not buy for 4k with that damage. Maybe 3k if it was mint otherwise?

ghostrider, you are fine. Your problem is that you write your opinions as if they were facts. And maybe an attitudr re-assesment is in order? Just chillout and everyone will have a good time. Good times people!! Cars are supposed to be fun :-)

"just fkn relax ayyyyy!!!" - trent from punchy.

My carby L24 gives around about that sort of millage.

get on it guys!

not a worry mate. can you explain this 'surging' to me?

Wow epic list! Should keep you entertained for a little bit hey mate? It's all the little things that make a big difference.

gotta agree with ghostrider there. If i was gunna do a v8 it wwould be the 1uzfe. Love that motor! I would never do a como v6 conversoin. Hate that motor. Hate comodores even lol. The rb i already own and from a cost perspective it would make a whole lot more sence!

oh hello build thread. there you are! long time no see.... ok so to be honest ive been cheating on mandie with another girl for the last 6 months. i bought a s13 silvia (sonya) with a RB20det conversion and have been preping it for drift events. so far it's 260hp at the wheels. it's an absolutely mental car to drive. love it to bits. even scares me at times lol. BUT, it's very shit to drive to and from the pothole ridden corrugated road to work because of the coilovers. it's rattling the silvia to pieces and destroying my spine simultaneously lol. SO..... i've decided to put mandie back on the road and use her as my daily. like aiming for next week hopefully. she's been off the road since october last year. not because i lost the love, but because my crappy job at the time didnt allow me to afford 2 cars anymore. my new job is getting me the cash to achieve my dreams so it is now possible. i must admit ive recently been very inspired by ricky's build and the awesome that it is oozing right now! it's somehow made me remember everything i loved about my skyline coupe and what it means to me and even my mates. ricky's build also made me realize that i haven't achieved my goal with mandie yet and that i probably would have already if i just got off my ass and blew some bloody coin on it!! i started tonight by buying a new battery after work. the one in it was totally CACTUS! even though i havent given her a crank-over in at least 4 months, she only took like around 3 minutes to start. idled perfect and purred like a kitten straight away! man oh man do i miss that exhaust note! since my last post: -i have been given a shitty beaten-up cannon muffler for free and got it thrown on for a laugh. to my surprise it actually sounds incredible! lol will post youtube vid at some point i think. -i fitted the sparco junior race seat. i can try as hard as i want and i still cant get thrown out of that seat around corners. -i bought the chrome stove-tops and center garnish from yahoo japan. the wiring has been modified for some reason and the brake lights only come on when you put the brake pedal down but not when you have the headlights on (if that makes sense?) im gunna get the site electrician to rewire them for me which he is more than happy to do so.. WN! another thing about the stove-tops i got is they didnt come with the black rubber/plastic bit that goes around the outside of them. i used the ADM ones for now but they are about and inch too short at the top and dont fit comfortably. if anyone has a spare set let me know! -the original tacho went a bit slack so i bought a 3" white faced calibre tach from supercheap and mounted it right in front of the standard one. it's the same size as the stock tach. looks great and maybe even a little bit cool haha. will post picks as soon as im back on night shift! GOALS: -get stove-tops working properly -get pcar back on the road. -mod plate to make it a 2 seater. -matching bride zeta III or brix II buckets in black. -matching 5-point harneses. if i can find orange ones it could look cool. but so would black, and that would be easier to find me thinks. -roll cage in the back half painted orange. -make panels to cover the parcel shelf, fuel tank, and where the base of the rear seat used to be and wrap them in black carpet -get rid of the beige interior and re-trim in black most likely. -replace poo beige carpet with black carpet and get some bloody floor mats. -drift teks in gold. i put my mates silver DT's up against my car and had a look from the other side of the street. looked pretty damn hot if you ask me. has to be gold though imo. -fix the exhaust gaskets cause the fumes can make you feel a little bit sickly at times. -fix rust so she's beautiful again. that should keep me entertained for now and will re-assess once ive knocked that list over! THOUGHTS/POSSIBILITIES: now that i own an s13 with an rb20det and coilovers (and a huge list of other parts!), the idea of swapping all the bits from it to mandie is tempting at times. especially since im pretty sure alot of parts are compatible and seeing mandie fly down the road sideways with the screamer pipe at full noise would be a pretty fkn amazing sight!! it would also be a sure 260hp at the treads and should go just as hard considering they are the same weight. pretty sure the last owner would shit his pants if i took it back to him in that state lol. just toying with that idea at the moment and nothing concrete yet. im just rambling now geez! goodnight all! cam

woahhhh BEAST!!! very very impressed. it's giving me the giggles lol.

either way it'll sound meaty once you get the cams done. Only a few days left mate then you can let it all out. Probably dont need to see a video of that though.

man you must be shitting your pants with anticipation! if you dont make a youtube clip im gunna fly over to WA and lay down my pimp hand on you. keen to see!!

ok in all seriousness: i had a chat to my mate about your problem. he is a speedway driver (won qld rookie of the year) in multiple classes and is also a pit mechanic for another driver. he said the fuel heat riser thing is bullshit. in his commodore race car all the fuel lines are actually heat shielded because once fuel gets hot it evaporates and that's no good. these were his pointers/advice: -good chance that the bloke who did the work bumped some settings on your carb or something connected to it when he did the install. check all your lines. check the tuning. -carby could be f**ked, period. just get another one. -you may have put bad fuel in your car recently and has clogged the fuel filter. check fuel filter and replace if necessary. pretty sure that was it. but yea ive had a c210 with extractors and standard carby without any problem too. doesnt sound right. and that dude sounds dodgy. beware!

Park it in the sun.

my '78 c210 sedan (my first one) had power steering, a/c and power mirrors.

How long till she's a goer mate? Nice work buddy. I will say sorry for the lack of faith and pushing you for an rb conversion. After recent thought, i have faith. This will be a beast! Bring on the youtube vids :-) what will the rest of the exhaust be?

Cant believe this hasnt sold! I would grab it straight up but ive already got 2 cars lol. Would like to meet it in person next time im up the sunny coast though. Shoot me ya number?

i say dont bother with the resonator. get the extractors to a straight 2.25 pipe and a straight-through muffler. and dont bottle neck!

guys can i remind you that this is the 3rd coupe ive seen for sale since i bought mine in april 2008?? and i bought one of them lol. dont pass this opportunity over a little bit of rust. restoring is half the fun! rascov is totally right also.

wow that's awesome!

wow it's all happening! no fkn around ay ricky?

sorry to hijack your thread, but how many of you own skylines in russia? and any pics??
