Hi guys,

I am new to this forum and have joined it to ask your advice.

My 97 year old mother passed away last month and I have to sell her beloved Skyline which she still drove.

It's a one owner 1981 Skyline Silhoulette (spelling). It's in original condition and I thinks it's done about 130,000 km. It has a couple of dents and needs a tidy up, but I have no idea if it's a car that's of interest.

Hello Gronkey. Welcome to the club, sorry to hear about your ma.

I've seen manual rb30de skylines of that era going for $1500-2500 which is what I'd pay for one if it was manual.

Another place you may like to try to value it would be the r31skylineclub.com just hit their forums up.

there were no mr30 silos, if its a silo it will be a R31 (1986-1990)

someonestolecc, they are single cam rb30e.

if its fairly clean and well looked after you would be able to get around 3 grand for it, if your willing to wait. if its auto itd be worth alot less

You got pics you can post, as I might be interested IF it's an 1981.

Cheers D

Sorry about the delay but I can't get to the car to take pics until Monday.

It's 1981, white, auto, Vin MGC210100372, eng no. L24385835.

Passed full inspection for rego last November.

Situated on Gold Coast.

L24e engine then

so it is a r30 skyline

nice

I don't think so!

Engine number is L24 which would indicate a carburetted engine making it a C210.

If it's in fact an L24E it is most likely an C211, but with an MGC210 VIN I wouls imagine it is in no way an R30.

No, it is injected ... I tokk the numbers from the rego papers but I'll post all the numbers off the build plate and a pic tomorrow night.

Cheers,

Gronker

Here's a white one I prepared earlier... :)

That's it Matty T

I've tried to upload pictures but it won't happen. I don't know why as I've uploaded plenty of pics to other forums.

Anyway it's the same as Matty T's pics except that its got rub strips down both sides.

The numbers are;

Datsun Skyline Sedan E C210

Engine L24E Code L24E - A

Build 2/81

So, is anyone interested in it?

Edited by Gronker

Hi Peter, can you email pics to me please (alfadog at big pond dot net dot au)?

C111 were not sold here as far as I know. The "1" was used in Japan to signify different (more stringent) emission conrtols on the car - NOT to do with the "facelift".

This car is not really very valuable unfortunately. I would say you'd be lucky to get anything over $2000 for it, but perhaps some of the C210 experts could correct me here! I have never looked to buy one.

dammit, im late in this thread,

C210 sedan.

81 model were all injected, and for their age are quite nice to drive, they came with power steering aircon and power windows, the lucky ones also got power mirrors.

i have one of these which i picked up almost a year ago for 1600 dollars, registered. mine had bad paint though.

they are quite difficult to sell, but if your not in a hurry, it will sell eventually.

i currently have one for sale and also two coupes of the same model.

even though most people beat me to the punch, i hope this helped,

Jason

Sorry about the delay in replying as I've been away.

Thanks a lot Jason, you're spot on with you're description, and it looks the same as Matty T's pics (post #12).

As I said originally it's got a couple of dents and some surface rust but it MUST BE SOLD to wind up the estate. It's located at Nerang on the Gold Coast

I'm open to any offers. Just pm me or if you want to contact me by e-mail it's .. [email protected]

I'll try again to upload pics but if they don't show, it's the same as Matt T's pics.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
