just 10 years ago you couldent give away a c210/11 now you cant find one for any money!

there were a few hundred thousand sold in aus where did they go????

i have been offered a C210, its worth alot more than i have settled the price on...

4 door, worked L24, resprayed, 5 speed, black near mint interior....

Just gotta arrange the transport from its current owners

just thinking on buying it now, then reselling in a few months/years time (after ive given it a cut & polish and fully steam cleaned it up, detailed and tuned... oh and rego and full RWC)

It comes with a fully rebuilt & worked L26 on a pallet

What are ppl willing to pay for them these days?

hi mate

pm me when you have some pics available and we can have a chat yeah.

cheers

What people seem to have forgotten is that the 240K was never anything special. Yes, as a new car they were technically better than a Falcon or Kingswood, just in the same way that a Mistubishi 380 or Aurion is better than a Falcadore (judging by the 100 or so hire cars I've driven in the last 3 years).

They never had the brand loyalty that Holden and ford do, so when they started to get a bit tired, owners sent them to the scrap heap, or just abandoned them on the side of he road.

During high school and uni, I recall at least 6 of my mates owning 240K's (about 8-9 cars in total) and they were nothing more than a cheap mode of transporrt until they could afford something better. Those of us who were die hard Datsun heads dreamed of a 1600 SSS or 240Z. Not a 240K, or 180B and certainly not a 200B or bluebird.

Now that old school cars are so cool, and Skylines are so popular thanks to the R32 GTR and the whole drift culture thing, these 240K's have become very sought after. Unfortunately most have been crushed and turned into Daewoos, as they didn't have enough mid life appeal to save them from the wrecking yards.

Whether it's right or wrong, that's the harsh reality.

Well, he said that if he doesn't offload it, it;s going to the wreckers. That should give you a clue that it's not going to cost the earth. Besides, the guy selling it isn't in the business of trying to make millions on selling 240K's now that they have found new popularity. I think he just wants the shed space so he can finish building his new rally car.

things have certainly changed in the past 3 years.. They use to come up on ebay quite regularly for around $1500-$2000, same with NOS parts.. they use to come up regularly.. and relitively cheaply

My 2nd 240K coupe i bought for $750 off ebay ;) It was in really good condition (had Been sitting in a field for 9 years, but other than a bit of dirt and a nest of mice it was really good!)

Things certainly seemed to have dried up quite a bit, especially with NOS parts.. atleast parts prices arn't as rediculous as they are in japan :)

Luckily i have 3 coupes (1 is unfortuntately destined for scrap as the previous owner lost the compliance tag) including a 240K GT (only a handfull of those left now! i was real lucky to find that one) which i will get around to restoring in a few years time once i finish my beast.

Does the "compliance tag" show that it's a 2 door ?

Is yours the one with an RB26 in it?

For your 2nd 240k, ill give you $1500 - you double your investment :P

dont forget im cashed up waitng as well :P)

Sorry, that one was boughtand sent to a guy in the US a few years back (after replacing bits and pieces on it (brakes etc.).. that car is just coming up for sale in the US for about $6k incidently (if any of the US guys are interested pm me and i will give you his details!)

and yep, one of my cars i am putting an RB26 in :P, and the other will be restored and put away for a while (most likely the GT, but i am having second thoughts and may keep that one instead, when people are throwing around figures of $5k+ it is tempting!).

    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
