This sounds like the one MAG86 said his mate was selling with a N/A R30 for $1800??? WTF

But to be 79 has to be a C211?

That's odd - dont know whats happened there. Just do a search for 240K in the search box of;

http://www.autotrader.com.au

it comes up in the used car section. You cant miss it. Big bronze, beautiful... and kinda expensive. The misnamed gold C210 that comes up on the same search is pretty cool too.

That Gt-x is sure to make someone very happy. Count those webbers... drool... Now I want triples so badly.

i know the car... its one of our prince skyline club members...... he has done one hell of a job on it and its worth every penny

it's a C210 and i doubt it's the one that mag86's mate was selling cos this one is in adelaide

The gold C110 is awesome. It was originally on eBay up on the Gold Coast but got taken off early. Now it's down there for a fairly large sum of money (for a stock 240K). Depends how much you want a good original 240K though. Not many people do, which kinda explains why it's been for sale for a long time. If it was in Japan it'd be snapped up in a minute.

All this interest in 240Ks now - I don't get it? I had a mint 240K white coupe with original mags for 9 years (I bought it from a one owner lady in 1990 for $3000, it had 16,000 kms on the clock and a boot, spare mag & tyre that all had never been used. She actually cried when I drove off with it). Was my 2nd 240K (first was a sedan with unknown # of previous owners), I always liked 240Ks after a guy at school had one, but most people never looked twice at them!

Could someone tell me why are they suddenly such a desirable car now? Is it the Skyline heritage and people have only just worked out that they're early Skylines, or are they just considered cool now?

Thanks

i think they relise that they are early skylines... and that seems to be the in thing...., i always have people askin me if i want to part with my S54B-E (1966 Prince Skyline GT-B) all the time.... and you call all guess my answer on that one......;)

"All this interest" ... well you are on a Classic Skylines forum here! There is interest here. There is still not all that much interest in Australia as a whole though.

Think of all the little crapbox Mazdas that no one wanted in the 80s and 90s - now they're worth heaps as everyone is scrambling to get one. Same deal, they've just reached that magic 30 year age.

In reality, they're still worth very little. There is really not much interest compared with other Japanese classics.

On the subject of 240k's becoming a more desireable these days, feel free to witness my humiliation on being outbid just about 2-fold on this little number.

Never mind. There's a '63 Datsun Cedric down the road screaming out for a good home... Right, where's my credit card!

I was surprised too it went for that much! Looks like it needs quite a bit of TLC from the pictures, but maybe apart from the paint it was really good. Hard to tell without inspecting eh.

I hear you. So much for picking up a cheap and cheerful project. I guess $1,700 isnt exactly a fortune but sheesh... It looks a little bit like something you'd find on the side of the road with a council notice on it! Nice enough interior and all though...

    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
