I'm looking to source the rubber seal that seals between the drivers window and the small rear window on the C210 78 coupe or a substitute idea that someone may have done, a certain type of strip maybe. All ideas will be valued .Cheers Ricky

Have you tried Rare Spares ?

I'll have a rummage around and see if I can't find something for you. Failing that you can try Clark Rubber. They have an amazing selection of rubbery bits.

Cheers Drew, I've just looked at Rare Spares site. They list the type of strip I'm after but it's for the 240K, so whether these are similar, I'm not sure. I've sent them an email. I've handed my car over to some auto pros, had enough of stuffin around so it should finally be runnin in about 6 days ,all going well. Do you know of any other transplants that have been done to C210's other than L series conversions, such as V6 or Rb's?

Hey Ricky,

I'm hitting the workshop today so I'll let you know what I've found to suit tonight.

I know of a few swaps into C210's. V8 Skyline Man was running a... well you can probably guess, until someone hit his car, and another guy I know in Tasmania is selling off his Rb20 C210 sedan to fund an Rb26 C210 coupe project! I'm staying old-school though, and am building up a warm L28, as do most of the the guys with C210s and 240ks in my Japanese "Enjoy Retro Car" magazine have.

If you want to read up on bizzaro engine transplants into 240z's and the like I'd head over to the hybridz website.

Cheers Drew, yea my last c210 ran a L28, wild cam, some tuned length jap extractors and triple 45 webbers.It went very very hard. My mate has all of this now and has had it sitting for about 2 years,but will not part with it even when I waved $6000 under his nose.Never mind I'll see how the 260 goes and if not happy I'll look at something with efi. What type of V8 did Skylineman run?

Hi,

I checked the wreck at the workshop and couldn't find the the rubber strip you need (or any sign of the windows either!) Another friend who has a coupe must have poached it already! Sorry about that. I'd seriously take a chunk of the old strip into Clark Rubber and try to find a match.

Mr Skyline was running a 253 from memory. You can do a search and read some of his old posts relating to the car.

Also what kind of friend want sell you back your own car for $6G??? That's an amazing amount of money for a C210, the thing must be absolutely wild. Try and get a picture or two up for me if you can.

Cheers,

D

There's no car, wer'e talking just motor, webbers extractors. But to replace this taking into account the rebuild and this engine has the best of everything I'd be looking at $5000 or more, so Ireally beiieve the package was worth that sought of money. Triple 45's about $2000 or more new and the extractors are rare, what those are worth I've no idea.

I've been looking around for triples and your damn right they don't come cheap. So I guess a full rebuild with all the good bits can really add up. I really wanted a nice Kameari 3.2L Crankshaft for my L28, but they go for US$5,000 alone, so I see your point.

Hey Drew. been to see how my cars gettin on, basically it's not. They haven't started on it yet, promises promises.To top it off he's asking where the electric fuel pump and reg are? I informed him that I wanted to try without first, believing the machanical will suffice. He doesn't agree. In case he's right what elec pump are you running and how many gph does it pump. I was looking at a Facet 2-4.5 psi and it pumps 30 gph which the mechanic thinks is'nt enough. He's talking holley blue, 90 gph wtf. It aint a dragster.Your thoughts will be valued being as your running the same set up. Then I can tell him that I know someone....rah rah.... Do you ever have starvation probs when giving it some and some more? Ricky. I tried to put some pics up but again failed.

Hey mate,

Most of my mates are running Japanese Toiko pumps, and mines a Pierburg. Its nothing fancy and the car is not starving for fuel. I don't know the psi or gph unfortunately. If I can find the box it came in Ill let you know though.

D

Ok, found the box.

It's a universal inline Pierburg 12V, 3.9 - 5.5 PSI, model FPX030, and its about $150 from

There's a higher PSI model for the same price, but I don't see why you'd need it.

Thanks D, Ive sent them an email asking what volume these pump. I spoke to a European car mechanic who deals mostly with jags and he reckons I'd be pushing it using more than 3.5 psi on my S.U's. So you see everyones got different opinions. I found a Facet 3.0 - 4.0 psi 120L per hour today at my local Repco for $100. If injectorcarb email me back with similar volume I'll purchase this pump.

    • 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?
    • 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.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
