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.

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
