Righto, seeing as its now the second of Jan 2012, and there hasnt been a single post in here, I thought I might try this. The first page will be used for ideas for a name for this thread, i will post a poll once the page is filled with all ideas for names. while I'm here anyway, how was everyones Christmas/NYE? Cheers Jason

yeah, it had EVERY box ticked, apart from turbo. should have kept it. should have kept them all, actually

WOOHOO! I was thinking of all the stuff my Mcg210 had....power everything , disc brakes etc. but then again that was an 81 model.

its a basic model, P/s, and A/c is all it has. manual mirrors, and manual windows. Which, I might add are the smoothest winding regulators I have ever seen!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEEEEEEEE!!!!one!!ty!!!!1

Mmm. Yum.

Dennis, yeah I knew about it, its the car that got me my wife. Bekkyboo on these very forums. I never dreamt it would be mine almost 6 years later!

5hours labour to replace an ignition coil? It's two screws, a plug and a couple of terminal nuts. 10-15 mins TOP! That being said, tracing electrical problems, even even in old cars, is troublesome and time consuming at the best of times. Also, its never a good idea to get a workshop to send you car anywhere else as they will add their own markup to what the other guy charges as well. If it has to go elsewhere, take it yourself.

You have had it for two weeks and.its.not on yet? For shame.

Nah, tissues then you can dispose of the evidence!

Got a C210 coupe for my birthday, from my mother-in-law of all people! It's green(factory) and has been in the family since brand new. Garaged its whole life. And only has two very small rust spots in the rear guards and nowhere else. Black interior, and entirely stock. Even has straight bumpers! the only mod I have found has been a mordern head unit and speakers. Brand new carpets, spark plugs,points, air cleaner, clutch slave and brakes(shoes,pads, discs,rotors and master cylinder)Pics will be up as soon as I'm home from Christmas.

Stupid auto correct. This was posted from my phone.

I got mine in under the bonnet by using a combination of L series and RB engine mount brackets, I think I may also have swapped them left to right.. I can't remember exactly what I used though, so you will have to figure it yourself(not hard at all) If you use a greddy style manifold you will have even more clearance. As for spacing the bonnet, yes it may be the easiest way to gain clearance but it is also illegal(in QLD at least) a better option would be to space the engine crossmember down, which it turn gives you more transmission tunnel room, a bonus if you plan on using an rb25 or 350z gearbox. This will mess with the front end steering geometry a bit, but if you are lowering the car you are doing the same thing anyway. A winged or hi volume sump is a good ideas as it not only gives you're engine more oil to work with, but can give you more ground to sump clearance such is ALWAYS a good thing. This is all I can think of at the moment, but look at the time. Wtf am I even awake? Meh, jack to sleep for me.

If you don't have an alarm fitted, go and see Chris Rogers at audio express, top bloke and loves his skylines too

Ignoring the plates - does this look like yours? It was found burnt out in Logan today Updated with extra photo. It does look like yours.... Ill find out where abouts exactly in Logan it was found.

How is it the wrong thread? He has a C210, and clearly posted that he bought a front cut to transplant into said C210. Welcome boxer_power! yes 180 sx struts will fit with some minor mods, the front will require a bit more work than the rear, use the search function, there is plenty of information on the subject. Cheers Jason

PM this guy , Chris Rogers He does lots of custom work on V series Skylines thinks like aftermarket cruise control that uses the factory buttons and that kind of thing, he can probably sort yours out. cheers Jason

What sort of price are you looking for the mr30 rear end?

No, I was searching for something else entirely and came across one of them and then just followed links.

I would say they will fit fine. I had 17x7+38 on the C210 coupe years ago, the offset on those rims MAY make it close to or touch the outer lip of the guard but a minor roll would fix that if it was an issue. not saying it will be, but that would be where they would hit if at all. But as always, a trial fit is always the best way to go.

just added a few more at the top

you replied to my post with two different answers, im confused, are they available or not?

how much do you want for the rear guards? (assuming they are in good condition) I will need to cut them off myself as there are certain measurements i will need to take. cheers Jason 0430087070

(assuming the mod you speak of is me) Things aren't always what they seem. I've never met him, never bought from him, or sold to him, and i would have sent/recieved less than 10 PM's from him in the 7 yrs Ive been here. I rarely agree with his opinions, but I do respect his knowledge on the Older Skylines. Cheers Jason
