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.

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
