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.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
