Hi,

Turns out there is a Victorian Nissan/toyota wrecker offering all you can carry parts this weekend for $60. Bargain! Unfortunately for me the L series stuff is a little thin on the ground, its mostly R series stuff. I am slowly doing up my C210 on a really stingy budget, so this is a good opportunity for fellow povs. Any suggestions for what to hunt for? Apparently they have an L series head, but don't know from which model. Are there tell-tale signs to look for, as I hear the L24 head in my C210 is the least awesome of all.

Cheers!

Actually havent been down there yet, but am going tomorrow. I gave them a call however, and I can confidently say that he doesnt have any whole C210s... Just randomn bits and pieces. Mostly he has more modern gear, but I am pretty sure that I will find at least 1 armful of stuff worth $60. Maybe a complete R30 rear end for a cheap and cheerful disk brake conversion... maybe just handy spares like starter motor, alturnator, trim, lenses, cables... Ill see when I get there. My shopping list was too large to go over it all on the phone with the guy. Happy shopping!

Nisstoy was a bit of a washout - very little for my C210 and absolutely nothing for an R32. Mostly Pulsar, Corolla and Hyundai non-perfromance stuff. The manager steve is an old-school Skyline enthusiast however, with a large personal collection of cars and parts.

Hey Steve,

You may already know this but if you are still in the market for parts there is a wrecked R32 on ebay for $1,000. Lots of good bits! Its under Cars - Nissan - skyline. 6 days left.

Happy shopping.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
