N1GTR Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Hi guys, Over the last few years ive spent heaps on my r32 and im getting a bit sick of never driving a skyline cause being a GTR its always breaking something So after some searching around ive come across the C110 - and they're (IMO) pretty good looking with the right wheels So im trying to find one to buy, but the problem is i cant find one in 2dr manual?!?! Anyone know of one for sale? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/235228-prices-for-c110s/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymonkey Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 hahaha good luck sunshine-steve. you and a gazillion other datto fanboys want one to build a Ken Mary replica of epic awesomeness. They're almost as bad as AE86's these days. See if you can harass an old pensioner for his car, its the only way you'll find one for decent money.... or try your luck on the aussie RatDat classifieds... you'll have to fend off other C110 hunters though. Didn't Drunkan have one? C110 coupe's are kinda cheapish (kinda being relative, it'll still cost as much as an R34 GTR but not as much as a KGC10) in japan, so you might be able to import one under 15 year rule imports. But if you're gonna do that, then you should get something more exotic, like an old bluebird or cedric.... then convert it to a lowrider style getup. That would be awesome.

coupe72001 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 C110's pop up now and again on ebay, ozdat or the in trading post - but there are plenty of people chasing them. Oddly the coupes fetch higher prices from Australian buyers than the sedans, whereas the sedans are much more popular with overseas buyers. In Kuwait the coupe is unflatteringly referred to as "the cow". I recently bought a lovely four door for $350 by leaving a nicely-worded note on someone's windscreen about 6 months ago. Many people who don't really care for Datsuns sell them for very little, wreckers are likely to crush them as $150 worth of scrap metal without thinking, and then you get complete get-rich-quick tools on ebay asking for $4500 for substandard examples. I'll ask around for you, but happy hunting in the meanwhile - something will come up eventually.

coupe72001 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Dont be put off by the auto either. The manual conversion isn't difficult or expensive - there are plenty of cars you can grab a 5 spd box and clutch pedal from.

R30's would be the best tho. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/235228-prices-for-c110s/#findComment-4123933 Share on other sites More sharing options...
coupe72001 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 16 cars is out of control. There is a guy based in Bendigo who has 7 c110's. Same thing, won't sell for anything, just lets them sit in the rain for year after year... given they are practically rust-proof and all (slaps forehead).

coupe72001 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Hey Mags; I had a look at that four-door, it's cool, but not my cup of tea. There is a mint condition silver L26 210 in NSW at the moment, without any of the pink bits. I don't like pink. I'd go for that instead. On the topic of overpriced cars there is a wrecker off the Hume Highway near Epping in Melbourne. He has about 6 C210s and C110s stacked on top of each other. All utterly stuffed, windows down, rusting out, ruined. He only wants $50 for a damaged piece of trim, or $2000 for a "complete" car... great.
