there's a difference between a layer of carbon fibre (most bonnets n stuff for looks in a car) and composite honeycomb carbon fibre used in masts and other spaceframes like bikes etc.

i think in the case of a carbon fibre layr on top of the alloy its just for looks.

ok, i know this post is kinda cold now, but its sticky, so i thought i couold get away with re-opening it...

just a quick question about some older model skylines... pre R30 etc. One of my mates just picked up a '78 line with a 2.8 Turbo EFI motor in it. The body is in really good nik, and for 1200 bucks its heaps of fun :wassup: (not to mention fast) but i was just wondering if anyone had any pics of some tidy examples of the same cars so we could see where to go with this one. Was also wondering if some of you real buffs out there knew what the original engine was, coz im fairly sure it wasn't an L28ET !

cheers guys

that would be the GC211 or KPGC211

The C211 series was released in August 1977 and, just like the C110 series, came in four versions. First of all, due to the fuel crisis and emissions regulations, the GT-R was missing and instead the Skyline 2000GT-ES (KGC211) marked the top-of-the-line now.

The latter came out in April 1980 and featured a new turbo-version of the L20, called the L20ET, with 140hp. This engine might have been less powerful than the GT-Rs, but in contrast to the S20, obeyed to emissions regulations and marked a new milestone in Skyline history: For the first time a turbo engine powered a Skyline.

The basic versions were called 1600TI and 1800TI now and featured L16 and L18 engines respectively, instead of the preceding "G" engines. The old 2000GT-X lost the X (and was now called the 2000GT), but kept an unchanged L20 engine, which still pumped out 130hp.

Basically the site has a huge DIY GC211 restoration section etc... use http://babelfish.altavista.com to translate it.

I'm not really a big fan of the GC211 more of the KPGC110... which is very remeniscant of a shelby mustang (aka elanor)

oh and if you bought a locally sold C210 this page has some info on it...

but you need to change the tail lights to jap spec man...

thanks for the info guys !

the car is a fully imported 4 door model - still can't work out what the exact model is, coz it's missing the bumper (not a bad thing though, the big black one looks kinda weird...

ill let ya know how it turns out.

if you PM me the VIN number I can put it thru the Nissan Japan database n get you details on the car from production factory to cloth trim... I dunno if the software goes that far back though, but it couldn't hurt.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
