Good luck mate, a guy passed through about a year and a half ago, buying every c210 he could get his hands on. he started in townsvill he reckoned. and was making his way to adelaide. they were all being shipped to adelaide, stirpped down to shells to save weight and sent to Saudi arabia. true story. he bought my two sight unseen and would have taken the third had i not sent it to scrap the week before(it was crashed)

but seriously, i hope you find one. i really wish i never sold mine.

cheers

Are they known as a 240k or a skyline?

Are they all IRS?

I'm new to classic skylines so bare with me,

thanks jarryd

yea i met him once on the highway and we pulled over and had a chat (RANDOM!!!). he has 17 or so i believe. he said he is making them all into replica famous race cars. it's actually pretty damn cool what he's doing.

he seriously had 3 A4 folders full of photos on hand to show me some of his cars and the cars he is going to make replicas of. gave me some great ideas!

The 240k and the C210 are different cars in Australia; however, oddly, I have some advertising material, like this:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Datsun-Skyline-240K-...A1%7C240%3A1318

that refer to what we'd call the C210 as a 240k.

In Australia the 240k body shape was from 73-77 (look for a metal grill), the C210 was 78-79 (look for plastic grill with round twin headlights) and the C211 80-81 (plastic grill with square headlights).

At a guess the ratio of C210s to C211s is around 20:1. Auto to manual early skylines are about 50/50.

There are plenty of people (like myself) who have assisted in sending early Skylines to the Middle East, where they have cult status, who have gone on to regret it - as these Skylines have become substantially harder to find in Australia over the last three years. Infuriatingly, large numbers of skylines that didn't make it to Kuwait etc. have been long since sent to scrap metal locally.

Despite all of this, early Skylines still pop up now and then... and happily, they often end up in the hands of enthusiasts, rather than randoms.

Ive driven past those cars for the last 5 odd years, when I first seen the coupe it was mint, then It dissapeared for awhile now its back at where it resides.

Was always tempted to knock and ask about em, but after seeing the price tag, might give it a miss.

Works 510, all i did was stop in and say hi lol now look im trying to sell them for him!

well the guy is keen as to sell the sedan now, give him a call i think it had a/c as well, should be able to get it for $800, he wants the money and room to work on his coupe,

i doubt he will move much on the price of the coupe at the moment, maybe later in the year if it keeps sitting there, its not actually rusty, the bonnet is but he has a replacement, but all the other panels look quite good, and the paint looks original the way the clear is peeling off! lol

as more of these cars get picked up buy guys like us the days of cheep good cars are numbered, he sold the last coupe he had to the middle east, so he knows what they pay i guess he wants about the same.

Can you remember what sort of state the sedan was in? The pics dont really show how rusty she is or what state the interior is in. Always handy to have a spare white skyline with a black interior, when you own... err, a white skyline with a black interior. Cheers

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
