Proving quite hard

Definatly harder than i thought

The only other HGC110 beside mine where I live , is owned by a old lady who doesn't want to sell it,

other than that, I have not seen on for many years.

and 2 door one, I haven't seen for 10-15 years

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 would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 馃
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
