my mate picked up the new trading post yesterday at 6am. he was looking through it and i asked him if there was any 1978 datsun skylines in there (stab in the dark lol) and he said there was one! a C210 sedan in yellow for $300 with a bloody 5 speed. something i am desperate for! i called them at like 7:30am and had to leave a message. didnt get a call back last night.

called today at lunch time and the car had been sold. CCCCCRRRRRAAAAAPPPPP!!!!!! (my reaction was a little more colorful than that hehe)

i need a manual conversion friggin ASAP!

Bloody hell. For $300 I would have snapped that up in a second. There is a beat up c210 at centre road springvale, no motor no box no seats, and they want $650! Faaaaark. You just dont find $200 Skylines anymore.

p.s. yea it was my plan to snap it up immediately. dang it. i guess ringing 1 hour after the paper was released just isnt quick enough! :D

as for the $650 rolling shell... it would wanna have stove-tops for that price!!

There's one for sale over here in the west ,2 door auto, gold in colour. It's in the quokka on line under skylines. Been there for a while and can't remember how much . 1500 I think. If it was manual It'd be gone by now

The ad went online on tuesday, I knew I should have called as soon as I saw it :)

The seller said that guy that bought it is going to do it up and use it in some sort of rally

    • Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?   
    • You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.
    • Run the piping how we all have for decades. Also the duel runners with the +T setup dramatically helps it gets on boost quicker. Yes, chase huge power it'll become a problem, but you're a long way off when you're already saying an aftermarket ECU is out of the budget. You also say NisTune as it's simple, and then immediately say it'll be painful, meaning... It won't be simple. It will likely cost you a lot more stuffing around with a Nistune, than just putting a Haltech or similar in.
    • I’ll order an afr gauge to keep an eye on it.  Then will get a haltech soon 
    • TD05 or maybe pulsar PSR2867r Gen 2?  id love a garret but it’s quite out the budget for now and I’m not chasing crazy power.    yeh fuel pump haven’t looked into but whatever works, kind of last on my list.    Nistune because it’s simple but Ik it’s a lot of pain especially as I’m auto +t with the whole seperate TCM etc still investigating that. Haltech id love but once budget tight for now atleast.    finally the reason I’m trying for a plenum instead of the stock intake is I already have a standard Intercooler mounted etc. so the ports are on both sides so trying to not have to go over the clutch fan radiator etc. trying to find a good deal return flow if I don’t than this will do for now I guess. btw any ideas with that, apparently some people have to cut blades to reduce it from hitting the Intercooler piping over the radiator ? Thanks
