Hi,

I may be able to get parts for you. What parts are you after?

JH

not so much as in parts, but chopping some sections out of the car, since he's not willing to part with the whole car to someone else

roof bits and rear boot panels (bottom section thru to and including wheel corner)

can send photos if needed. anything you can do is muchly apreciated

If chopping involves oxy equipment, I'm fairly sure they won't permit it. However, if you send a list/diagrams/photos, I'll go and ask them.  

edit: (BTW How would you get the panels to Sydney?)

Grim news,

"vehicle body no longer in stock"

Somehow... you have to get to these cars before the wreckers get their hands on them.

What does that mean - has what was left of the car been crushed? So much for my big plans for this weekend. This is irritating as several people tried to snap up what was left of the car before it got minced and they wouldn't have a bar of it... the idiots.

why is everyone so keen on these things lol

how much is a rolling shell worth? i know where theres one sitting in a factory.... might actually be up for sale soon. body was all straightened up by a panel beater like 3 weeks ago

edit - sorry the one im talking about is a 4 door datto, still says c210 on the tags tho???

yea there are 2 and 4-door c210 skylines mate :(

The C210 sedan still isn't worth mega-bucks unfortunately, (although prices are climbing), but there is bound to be plenty of interest in a rust-free car. Please let the forum know if it does come up for sale.

The C210 is attractive because it is cheap, it runs similar engine and drivetrain to the popular and pricey Z cars, they are comfortable and easy enough to repair. Maybe they aren't the coolest car on the planet, but they are pretty quirky at least. They are getting a bit rarer now, so they get a bit of attention from passers by, too.

Looking back at the state of the car as it rolled into the wreckers (see first post, pics are still there at the moment), it was in fairly good condition. Have no idea why they were unwilling to sell it complete. I did ask and they simply said it "wasn't allowed".

Will ask about the car and let you know.

probably sold it to his mate. we are dealing with people who have the iq of a brick!

thanks anyway mate. your a champion! ill post some pics incase anyone can help out otherwise

An update:

Spoke to the guy at Jolly's this morning. The C210 has been crushed and sent off for scrap.

The story is that they cleared several rows of cars on the lot to make room for 20 cars that arrived.

The aerial pic (http://www.jollysupullit.com.au/Home/Home.asp) shows the cars packed really close together. It's very difficult to retrieve some parts (like doors and guards). They clear a row, then fill a row.

As far as rare goes, ive only ever seen 5 C210 sedans in Perth or known of them.

haven't seen any coupe's at all

I was in Perth for a holiday in 2004 and saw a stock light brown coupe with WA plates, east Perth.

It was very clean, parked behind the shopfronts.

Big shame the car is crushed. What a waste.

Hopefully i speak for most in saying that the wreckers guys are f$&king tools!

I'd like to say a really BIG thankyou to John who thankfully got in and got parts for me before those F wits demolished that car. John really went out of his way to help and this is much appreciated, onya John. Ricky

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
