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.

Cheers, D

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.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
