Question About The Pc110 Skyline

I may be buying a PC110 Skyline at an auction... I'm trying to get more info on it. I know it's G18 powered, but I'm confused by the rear suspension... From the pics I have, it looks like the car has leaf-springs. Is that normal for C110-chassis cars?

Also, does the L-series motor bolt right up in place of the G18 or are modifications required? Any other general info on the car? I can't find anything on the "P"C110.

The car in question:

Australian delivered C110's all had IRS - almost identical to the 510 / 610, except for the location of the spring and shock. All Australian delivered ones also had the L24 factory fitted.

i don't know how hard it is to convert this one to IRS and L power. (I assume the car - and you - are in Japan). If you're in Australia, then don't waste your time on Japanese auctions and just buy a local one.

Hi Chokudori!

The first thing we must clarify is that this car is a short wheel base model C110. Sorry if you already know this... but basically there were the long wheel base (in sedan and hardtop) and the short wheel base (in sedan, hardtop and wagon). The long wheel base models were powered by the L20, L20E, L24 or S20. The short wheel base models were powered by the G16 or G18 (at least that's all I have seen).

The extra length of the LWB is in the engine bay. This is, of course, to fit the six cylinder engine. Otherwise they are pretty similar. The LWB got IRS whereas the SWB did not. I would imagine they could be swapped over with a bit of work but don't quote me on that!

A six cyl L-series engine will NOT bolt up. This is the main reason for the SWB and LWB models.

Do not kid yourself - this was the base model Skyline and never had any performance intentions. If you really want a SWB (some people do) then I think it looks pretty good (prepare to find a fair bit of rust though from what we can see on the boot), but I would just buy the bigger brother GC110.

Like Warps said though, if you live in Australia, just buy a 240K (they're almost exactly the same to JDM GC110).

edit: here is a picture that shows the shorter bonnet length a bit better, for those interested

      I strongly recommend anyone playing with cars chasing anything electric, get a basic understanding of using a DMM, and about 12V DC systems. They're REALLY easy, you only need to know V=IR and how to apply it, and you can work out what your readings should be doing. For a simple check on a light bulb, you're looking for 12V at the positive to the light, a near zero resistance to ground, and then for a small resistance across the globe when unplugged. If one of those values isn't right, you won't get what you need. Now if they're all okay,and you then plug the light in, and it still won't work, you now do a voltage check across the globe positive to negative. It should effectively read full battery voltage. If it's not, especially if it's quite low, the age old V=IR starts to be able to be thought about, you now know though, for the current flowing, there isn't much voltage for the given resistance, but the rest of that V has to be dropping somewhere else. So now do a voltage check from ground of globe, to ground of car, then do voltage check from positive of battery, to positive of the light connector. Things like a high resistance in a wire/join will start to "steal" voltage on you. So now step back through which ever wire, until you find the voltage drop is non existent, you're now before what ever is steal your voltage for example.   There's plenty of YouTube videos, but really worth understanding some V=IR, and doing some even theoretical numbers to start to understand it. Then you'll know what the DMM is telling you.

      I took it out, even though I knew I probably don't know what I'm doing other than looking for power signal lol. Lesson learned here I guess, even if it looks normal, worth checking as it only takes a few seconds anyhow. And maybe disconnect the battery, even though really shouldn't have to.
