Kuwait has exhausted the world of LHD C210 dashes, so demand for complete C210s has plummeted accordingly. My money is on you finding a local buyer. Also Arabs prefer totally factory stock cars (with L28s).

Ill give you $400 it im being serious.

I'll sell you mine for $220, and I'll throw in all the free parts that I got from 77Japan in the USA, and I'll organize you a handjob from a Portuguese underwear model.

His/her $400 would be better spent with a few hours with a tranny hooker.

Retarded post of the month.

Some good news. Had a mechanic with L series knowledge have a listen to the 'knock'.

He believes its coming from the rear carby. Noise dissapears when revved and once warm.

Not 100% sure on its future but interested in reasonable offers.

No ones even come to check it out yet!

Hi,

Just a few comments to help with the sale. The car looks really good but I think you need to publish heaps more images, especially; the interior, 'the usual' rust spots (to show there's no rust), pics of the improvements. If people aren't turning up to see the car, you might have to entice them with more pics. (Or, even better, a video - as GTR30 did when his car took a while to sell).

Also, you may need to completely fix the engine problem or show that it can be fixed without too much expense. I guess it depends who you're pitching to. 'Lumpy cam and unusual ticking' sounds like you're aiming to sell to a mechanic. Other buyers may be looking for something fully restored and reasonably reliable that drives well.

Good luck with the sale. If I wasn't so far south I'd at least go and have a look at it (and then I'd post the pics here). 

cheers,

JH

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
