or search for skyline in the nissan section.

Quite a funny ad actually, but the international interest is pretty amazing... does anyone know what shipping to the United Arab Emirates is worth? Here's your chance to find out.

Its advertised as having a leather interior... Is that a standard option? The buyers guide with this month's Unique Cars predicts that a 'condition 1' 240K coupe is worth $5,000... but the C210 coupe is only worth $3,700, and a lowly sedan like mine a mere $3,000. A bit of a discrepancy. Was wondering why the difference between the 240ks and the C210s, and if the Unique Cars numbers seem reasonable?

A common miss conception with the 240K is leather, this was not an option and it is most definatly vinyl. i belive the guy thinks that its just a rebadged c110 Skyline Gtr. however the 240k is not a gtr. the othe pics on the ebay page have been put there to confuse which i belive the seller is also confused! :

I don't think he is confused. He says that the other pictures (what great pictures they are, I might add :( ) are just "JUST TO SHOW YOU HOW GOOD THEY CAN GET".

The car was advertised on eBay a little while ago, and got pulled off without any explanation... well here it is! The guy bought it for $3000 and has spent money on it since. Now wants to get rid of it again... so who knows how it's still a "1-owner" car, but anyway, you would be hard pressed to find a better condition car. Very nice, I guess he thought he could make a little money out of it... we'll see!

Coupe72001, I think those prices are pretty reasonable. The difference is because C110's are more desirable.

Guess what? He's done it again! With only hours left in the auction, and the price stuck at $2550, he's pulled it due to "an error in the minimum bid or reserve amount".

But it gets better, people...

It has now been relisted with a starting bid of $0.01 and a "Buy It Now" price of $12,000!

... I guess he thought he could make a little money out of it...

Just a little, yeah. :thumbsup:

I don't think he is confused.

I am starting to question that... :)

The plot thickens! The highest bid was $3,500 and he still cancelled the auction at the 11th hour. I would have guessed that he cancelled the auction upon receiving a good cash offer other than that the car has been re-advertised!

Hi Lachlan. I have pieced together that the 240K’s are clearly the more desired (and valuable) car, but are still at a loss as to what the main differences between the two cars actually are, other than the body shape. I was previously under the impression that the running gear and other components were quite different, but now the two models seem to be fairly similar cars on many levels... time I start doing my homework!

Yeah most of the mechanicals are fairly similar....... the same with the 240Z and 260Z, 280Z and to some extent 280ZX too! The values of those cars are very different though (as I'm sure you know)!

I know a fellow who was going to bid at least $4000 on the auction (the seller's target) ... I think it would have at least reached that. I'm really not sure what the guy is playing at. We'll probably never know.

This guy can't be too smart, because just about any ebay regular will know ALL the action happens in the last hour.

His problem is, he thinks he has something more valueable than it is,

It's over, no bids. Wonder why...! He tried to make money out of this car (purchased for $2000 from the Gold Coast), and he's seeing that just because something's worth a lot in a different country, does not mean JACK in Australia.

These cars are becoming more popular, but not worth that much yet. His LIES in the description (he is at least the third owner) do not help his case.

There are such cars as 240K GTs, pretty much identical to GLs though. The interior is most definitely vinyl, as I have seen pictures of the interior.

It is a fantastic car though, nevertheless. One of the best in Australia no doubt. It deserves better than this guy.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
