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??

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!

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
