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.

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.

Cheers, D

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?

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,

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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
