Anyway just bought a C210 with L24, giving it a good service, and was wondering what gap the points have to be set to? And any other random tips/pointers you might have when it comes to these sexy old beasts. For example wha oil is best for them. Was thinking a 20W-50? Thanks.

and that oil may be too thin for a 30 year old car, may seem out the gaskets....

congrats on the purchase though, very hard to get these days

I have some genie extractors here in melb if your interested

Find a MR30 ('83-85 ish) with a L24e in it, grab the dissy, including the spacer bit (the bit between dissy and timing cover)

very easy to connect.

And while I'm getting such quick replies, what is standard ignition timing, what intervals in degrees are the timing marks, and do I set it with the vac advance on the distributor attached or off?

The lame questions will stop as soon as I get a service manual I promise!

You can poach the electric distributor out of a 280zx.

Also, I hear you can use a 4 cylinder Datsun Bluebird series 2 Bosch distributor, with a Bosch 6 cyl distributor cap (for holden or ford). Don't forget to grab the coil too. cheap and cunning way to go electric.

Got a pic of your car?

These are the two images that were on carsales that won my heart. LOL. I'll take more soon. The interior is immaculate. Carpet looks brand new!

Picked up an R30 distributor and coil for $50 today. Cheering!

I'm after a drivers side rear bumper end too if anyone has one spare...

Holy crap that thing is mint! What a score.

Ill post you up a bumper end as soon as I dig one up. $25 posted?

As for the wheels - don't know about offset etc, but you can go up to a 205/55/r15 tyre on a 15 inch rim without doing any modifications. All the datsun 4 stud wheels fit - from Z cars all the way to the 15 inch r31s and TRXs. I think there are some early 4 stud toyota wheels that fit too.

If you want to sell the factory wheels, plastic louvre or any of the other original bits please let me know. I can always find a home for them.

Also your front bumper looks like its sitting to close to the grill. Loosen the 2 monster bolts in the engine bay and slide it forward an inch and it'll look like it just rolled off a production line! Also I'd be filling those glorious doors with fish oil pronto, they are prone to rust!

hey where can i get front bumper ends in vic for n 81 mgc210 maby even a whole new bumper, and wish i new about the fish oil sooner may need a new door or 4 lol, also any 1 no where i can find decent extracktors?

Cheapest I found new were HiTech Headers part# HTH065, $340 from bestmufflers.com in Sydney. What city are you in? They occasionally pop up on eBay from $50.

I have a parts car in Campbellfeild Vic. Its pretty rusty, but should have some useful bits, like the bumper ends etc. I might have some doors that, while not perfect, might be better than yours.

verry interested i could probably rattle off a whole list of parts i need if i botherd to think i definitly need front bumper ends a left hand low beam headlight and a right hand tail light-does any one know if the gt headlights were any different?

    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
