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:

- 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.

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
