It as a stock Lsd diff and strong 3speed trans wich we're rebuilt 45,000 ago

The car has been sprayed and registered as black

It makes a few noises as any old car would but runs perfectly and starts first kick every time

Ignition as been converted from a points setup to a MSD electric Dizzy setup

Its running some sort of exaust system which was on the car wen i bought it , not sure wat it is but its farely loud down at low rpm

Carby as been rebuilt around 5,000kz ago gaining it better economy

This car as great turbo/drift potential and is easy to find performance parts as is same motor as 240z

I have heard that this car is actually a Mitsubishi Sigma. Please confirm that this is not some kind of sick joke. Do you have a Skyline for sale or not?

By the way, the C210 and the 240K are two completely different cars, and neither came out with a stock LSD.

by the way things are going i mite be selling my C210 ,

80K with log books but heck knows if the KM are real

shes alright drives smooth as in engine / trans wise /

all she needs done is new tie rod and unbend a rear suspension arm but you mite as well just buy one

reason for selling , don't have the cash to fix it

i would be looking at about $1500 , but any $800 or whatever cash offer would do

pics can be found in the classic section

this is just out of interest if i cant get a job with in the next few weeks.

i bought the car for 2.5K but a few strings of unfortunate events have f*ked it up sigh , i love the car if it wasn't for the rear suspension arm and front tie rod i would never have the thought of selling it

by the way as i stated just out of interest

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.

      The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
