can I get some opinions guys?

I was thinking of building my C210 to what I think it would be like if Nissan continued with a GTR, before they went Turbo.

The plan as it stands right now is to do the following.

L24 and auto gearbox get ripped out

240z pre pollution twin carbs and manifold bought. Extractors and exhaust bought

L28 could be on the cards.

Respray (currently green and flakey, tossing up either Black, Silver or white)

Round tailights (rare as rocking horse sh!t. Found and bought)

Flares around the wheel arches (rare as round tailights, found, checking on other body parts)

Boot spoiler from C110

Front chin spoiler from C210 (found, checking on shipping)

Side mirrors moved to front fenders (not sure if this legal, but found a set anyway)

suspension completely redone (not hardcore race set up, just better than stock)

Watanabe or similar wheels

Mix of C10 and C110 badging including maybe old GTR badges (found)

I know alot of people will say don't make it something it's not, but hey it's not as if I'm messing with a classic or anything. Besides Nissan stuffed up when they stopped the GTR at the C110, so I'm here to fix it.

At the end of the day, the aim is to have a decent period car, that will still handle quite poorly compared to todays standards and scare you a bit in the rain. I'm not thinking along the lines of a restoration to original specs. The C210 is quite boring to bother with this.

What do you think?

alphadog is selling his car

that is a prime example of a gtr replica

alpha's is by far the best I have seen. Genuine tidy car.

Me, just shooying for something to have a bit of fun in, without going through big dollars :-)

Well that's the plan anyway

I cant believe mr dog is parting with it. I have been drooling over his car since I joined Sau. On that note though, hope it sells and welcome to Melbourne.

and Sloazr33, is Ken OK? That video is hilarious.

Any updates.

Not too much to tell.

Tailights bought

Have found the wheel arch flares, no just seeing if I can ship the front lip spoiler as well. (might be too big)

Having trouble finding an L26/L28 in sydney so, might se what the L24's got left in her. Going tomorrow to pick up electronic ignition. Found an L series manifold with twin webbers, just waiting on confirmation if it will suit the C210.

Extractors and exhaust bought.

Sourced new shocks, haven't really looked for other suspension bits yet.

So, not much progress, but progress none the less :-)

Cheers

Bobby

Hi Bobby,

I just put some King Springs over pedders shocks for the front on ebay. They may not be ideal for your needs - having the shocks already and all, but Ill put them aside for you if your interested. Unfortunately someone bought the rear shocks and springs seperately for a trailer project!

Are you going to modify C110 flares to fit or are they specially moulded flares to fit C210?

Thanks to you, I'm getting C210 flares :-) I saw on your forsale thread where you got them from and, Kameari Engine works have them for the C210. I'll hopefully findout tomorrow if I can ship the front chin spoiler with the flares, and if not I'll just order the flares for now.

They're actually costing me less than the lights.

Drew,

I'll let you know dude. I'm gonna struggle to get the exhaust back to Sydney. The poeple who were gonna drive it back are now also flying down to Melb with me. So I'll probably have to chop it up a little to mail it. :)

cheers

Bobby

Guys,

I saw in a thread once that certain model Aussie dato had the same size/style front and rear bumpers as the C210. Any ideas?

Did a quick search and no luck.

Both mine have bends from being hit before I bought the car.

Awesome, Kameari's fibreglass items I got were excellent quality - just paint and fit! Hopefully it'll be the same for you. I had front and rear spoilers shipped with flares so they CAN do it. I guess it is just the money factor at the end of the day. You might be able to get something similar here for less.

I'm glad you're going about the right way with this. Too many people are scared to spend any money on these cars but you're changing all that! Good on you :(

I don't think any other Nissan would have exactly the same bumpers but I think the most similar would be the later 200B with the big bumpers. Thought about running no bumpers?

thanks mate,

how good is the Kameari website. I could blow 10k in 5 mins on that site.

the goal is to try and make it look like the old school cars in Japan, rather than just beef up the motor and keep the body stock.

have thought about no bumpers, but will need to take them off to see whats behind. I really like the flat look like the c110.

At the moment it's rough as, paint flaking soggy suspension, but I really enjoy driving it. So if I can get everything done to it I want, it's gonna be a keeper.

Use something like google translator, but their catalogue is in pictures so it can't be translated. The pics say alot though :-)

There are a few people on this site that purchase stuff from Japan.

The initial quote I have for the flares is around $400 to my door. With the lip I should find out this week.

      Starting again

      By Ozdavroz · Posted

      Had another look at the car and I noticed the fuel pump isn't priming on ignition. I'd taken out the pump from the boot to siphon out the old fuel, so maybe I've knocked something loose or broken a wire putting things back together. Will go back with a multimeter and try to work out what's stuffed. Kinda hoping it's the pump itself thats gone so I can upgrade it

      Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)

      1992 R32 GT-R Race Car

      By bardabe · Posted

      I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email. (+19517081648) email is [email protected]

      By Kapr · Posted

      Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
