Damn Steve,

Your making me regret selling my C210 a few years back!

Was a two door auto, and had big plans for it, but was in the midst if building a house and sold it in the end.

This is what i was aiming for though. Especially the black one!

I found an awesome shop in japan for things like front spoilers and wheel arch flares as well. I'll see if can dig up the link.

It's called, "Keeping the Value Inflated".

it's actually called "supply and demand" .. and let's face it.. there are less of them around now (quite noticebly over the past 2 years).. it doesn't mean though that you can't find an unsuspecting owner who doesn't realise the value of their car! but don't expect to find that person in 2 days of looking :)

Hey Kent stop posting on forums and get in the garage and finish one of your C110's :O

That would be good mate!

Yeah how much did you let it go for? Would be nice to have an old school skyline next to a nice and powerful 32 :D

Here you go mate.

Not cheap, but damn some nice parts.

I let mine go for somewhere around the $1k mark, but it was nothing to brag about.

Legend, cheers :D

with weather like this? :P besides.. i just got my engine together.. what more do you want!

I want your C110 GTR finished so we can cruise together at least once before my bossy english girlfriend makes me move over to England! I'm about to buy a house so hopefully that will keep her over here for a few years yet.

Seriously though I'm really looking forward to seeing yours completed.

N1GTR i noticed some of you are avoiding the sedans..

why?

could i be able to shorten the chassis and still register if i got an engineers cert, as in make it a coupe??

wouldnt mind a c110 over an NA R34 as a first car..

I dont like the look of the extra doors. Also they wont hold value as well. Not to mention im ready to spend thousands on one and at the end will still be dissapointed anytime i see a 2 door.

And will you be able to do that? No.

They'll hold value, but i dont think they'll do it as well as the coupe's. I may be wrong here, i gues time will tell. But Kent like yourself i want to do some serious work to it, and at the end i want it to have 2 doors :)

totally agree - personally 2 doors are way better :) but i have always been a coupe man.

The 2 door shares pretty much the same wheelbase as the sedan.. but you wouldn't try chopping it up to make a 2 door out of it.. that would be plane nasty.. and just wouldn't work! just hold on for a 2 door if that is what you are after (but 4 doors do look cool with GT-R flares!)

Found a mint white 1 owner KHGC110 2 door today with 74000 originals on the clock...too mint to chop-up into a Ken-Merri mock-up. Factory sunroof, original books, full service records (the guy has nearly 30 years of records of when and where he bought petrol, the odometer, the price and how many litres!). It has GT2000 black interior, original radio and factory fitted A/C. Still has the old school number plates on it (the old faded orange and black type).

The fella said i could have it for $5000 (went back and saw him this arvo Steve-o and knocked $1000 off his original $6000 asking price)

All ive gotta do is convince Stace i need it!

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
