Hi guys,

I think my car is a quite rare one, it made its debut at the 1977/78 Melbourne motor show and to the best of my knowledge is the first and only 1977 plated mgc210GT officially brought to Aus by Nissan before the official 1978GL.

Age has wearied the poor ol girl but she is still 90 percent original with the only modification being a worked L28 with a holley on top inserted in the engine bay and the box n clutch were beefed up a bit to accommodate. I have got the original engine which was taken out at 100k and the L28 has done a genuine 100k of it's own.

As a result she does need some rust cut out but, being original paint, what u see is what u get. Bought it from an older gentleman who had the engine done, engineered etc. and have meant to restore it but it is so hard to find the time (oh and the dollars) to do it proud.

There'd only be a few of us that have seen the GT badges in this photo on a car in Aus, had to remove them to preserve what's left of them.....

Cheers all and happy driving

VERY NEAR FUTURE:

- Hopefully getting an rb30 this weekend to put in, will be converting to a turbo as well (after I get better brakes)

- Change out the struts and hubs to something that will give me a 5 stud pattern so I can run r32 brakes/discs

- Get an lsd for the rear (still a couple in japan floating around)

- Bigger mags

- fix the damn stock radio!

- Give it a respray

- contemplating a dash change to a s13/s14 but we'll see about that one...

Hi all, I had a clean r31 for a while but I found this mr30 recently and couldnt go past it. so I swapped it for this.

YEAR: 1984

BODY: SEDAN

COLOUR: WHITE

MODEL: Ti with all options except sunroof but has sunroof switch?

completly stock with automatic. owned by elderly lady until recently and garaged all its life, the paint is still glossy!!!

and interior is perfect possibly the cleanest mr30 in adelaide (maybe after sky084)

I missed my previous mr30's so I'm happy to have a very nice one back.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
