K ive got a coupe in need of some love and some parts

tailshaft

pair of good doors - no rust, working latches, locks and key. no glass or door cards needed. I know im asking alot but my doors are shit and a good pair will fix a few problems at once

alternatively, a passenger side latch assembly that works

boot lid striker, not the latch, the bit that screws onto the bootlid

headlight surrounds and grill in good nick

manual gear stick boot for centre console

roof light console thing

rear drivers side seatbelt in brown

an uncracked dash? lol

a complete stock engine, flywheel and gearbox (maybe)

more as i pull more apart and find more broken shit

im in brisbane but will pay for post for smaller stuff.

woah,,,,,

you gonna have a heap of fun trying to get all that!!!

if it was 4 door it may be easier, as ther is one at the dapto pick a part wreckers (near woolongong)

i was up there about 3 or 4 weeks ago, even had hotplates in the boot, all the chrome looked fine too

they are pretty pricey though

You have almost no chance of finding decent c210 coupe doors. You may have to weld new sections into what you have, and finish them with locks etc from a donor car.

Funnily enough, I just picked up a rusted out C210 sedan. Unfortunately its auto, its in Vic, and shipping big stuff like the L24 to QLD is going to be painfully expensive. r30s with L24 engines are pretty common (2 on ebay this week) and don't go for much money, you could probaby find something closer to home. Better yet, you could invest in a rusty 280zx or Nissan Patrol and try to grab a complete L28. Finally buying rings, bearings and a gasket kit and rebuilding the engine you already have isn't a bad idea either.

If you still need any little fiddly bits (locks, boot striker, roof console etc) that wont cost you a fortune in postage, let me know.

im considering ripping the whole back half of interior out for a roll cage. but im gunna have a good think and plan this weekend. might have a heap of spare bits for ya mate. oh and i found a boot striker thingy if you need it still??

how's the car going otherwise? done much yet??

Edited by Silent Shadow

nothing man havent had money / motovation still isnt in shed lol

probably going to rip out interior as well as its pretty much trashed

but yeah. still need the boot striker, wouldnt mind a roof console, a full wiper washer switch, passenger side door latch..

that sucks man. wish i could motivate you a bit more but im out of ideas lol.

i got the striker. you can just have it. unfortunately the other bits you need i took from the car in the first place cause the same bits on my car were F'd. sorry man!

  • 4 weeks later...

so im slight;y more motivated, i put a battery in it to test what still works and the lights make shineyness and the wipers move, alough VERY slowly. yay some life from it!

um yeah. i kinda want an engine and shit so i can at least drive it form shed to shed whilst i work on it.

silent shadow: can you post me that stricker and any other little bits ive listed? ill swing you some coin.

to summarise, heres a list of shit i want

SHIT I WANT

all in decent condition

body

Pair of good coupe doors, or passenger latch and a set of locks and key

headlight surrounds and grille

boot lid striker

mechanical

Tailshaft

Complete running engine with manifolds, carby ect. or a stock z engine with the twin carbs

Flywheel, clutch fork, shifter, manual box

interior

working wiper/headlight stalk assembly!!!!!!!!!

centre console and manual shifter boot

roof console

rear drivers seatbelt (brown)

some other stuff that id buy but would rather spend cash on the above ^

okish dashboard

full set of clean seats to suit coupe

a pillar trims in brown

any brown coupe interior bits in decent condition

    • it was good to see our presence at GTR festival..hope to see more SAU at these events 
    • This is awesome.     
    • Thanks for the quick replies guys its appreciated. A small extension was welded onto the standard 6boost external gate pipe which you can see where the pipe goes from black to stainless just below and to the right of the rear housing in the first picture. Overall I would say the flow is pretty good other than 6boosts choice to come straight off the collector at a decent angle.. Not sure why I went with two valves, I originally replaced the stock twin bovs with the GFB when I had the twins on. When I purchased the EFR it came with the Turbosmart Kompact BOV so I figured that would be a better option than the stock EFR Bov. I don't believe the Turbosmart BOV is adjustable? When I get the spike and then sudden dip in boost pressure, the turbo speed does drop as well. Stock head size wise however I believe it has Neo Turbo springs and a Neo Turbo intake camshaft and an aftermarket exhaust camshaft in the vicinity of 260 degrees. We didn't try a different MAC valve, we tried two different ways of plumbing it and we also tried removing the mac valve entirely and just having the boost source from the turbo directly connected to the wastegate and it still spiked / dropped and exhibited the same behaviour. Standard R33 GTR 5 speed tansmission. I'm running a Haltech Elite 2500 and can provide some logs if you. I understand what you're saying in that it looks like an auto plot however no, it's still a manual and it just has a lot of torque down low, for all intents and purposes it's a very impressive street car. I've attached a photo of the quickbitz dyno plot which was when the only difference is I was running -5 twin turbos with a mac valve. As you can see theres a decent dip in AFRs between 125kmh and 135kmh. Our problem now is not that the AFRs are dropping, just the boost pressure is dropping, however it is evident in the same RPM range of the map, coincidentally or not.
    • What transmission are you running?  It's a bit tricky with the scaling, but at face value the power "curve" looks more like a "line" which is a bit odd... basically a lot more like a dyno plot I'd expect with a highish (compared to a factory auto) stall torque converter type setup. If this is running an auto then this kind of boost control challenge is definitely a thing, the rpm scale on the dyno doesn't reflect what the engine is actually doing (unless the dyno has access to the engine's ACTUAL speed electronically) and what you'll get is a big rpm flare up as the engine torque launches past the converter pump's ability to resist torque at that rpm, then as the converter starts picking up rpm it will kinda even out again and the engine rpm will pick up more steadily. The trick with this "flare up" is if it's kinda near the boost threshold for the turbo then the engine's airflow requirements to maintain the previous boost level will outrun the turbo's ability to supply that boost - so you end up with a natural flattening off, if not dip when that happens.   If you are running closed loop, or even tune the "feed forward" wastegate duty cycle to deal with that rpm spike then when the engine starts settling to a more typical climb you'll actually have a situation where the gate is "too closed" and boost will run away for a bit, then have to pull down again.      It's not trivial to get this perfect as most boost control systems are generally expecting more predictable engine rpm rates of change, but if you *know* that's whats going on then you can at least "accept your fate" and realise getting that area perfect is kinda chasing your tail a bit, and assume that if the rest is working sensibly and the spike/dip isn't completely uncontrolled then you should be good. Sorry if I've gone off on a tangent, but the dyno plot and boost control behaviour look a LOT like what I've seen tuning autos in the past. What ECU are you running? Could possibly be convinced into looking at logs if I get too bored this weekend haha.
    • A few things that seem a bit off here. - why is there 2 BOV’s?  - the turbo smart BOV on the compressor housing, is it turned up ALL the way? I have seen this become an issue on old man Pete’s car. It would push open and recirc, turbo speed would rise and the boost pressure would do weird things. - stock head? Does that include springs? - tried a different MAC valve? Is it plumbed correctly?
