I've been working hard on restoring a KE30 which I was given :(. As this project is starting to wind up.. a complete RB25 has wound up in my possession. A have had a very strong desire to own a classic skyline and now i'm starting to look around a little bit. Had a look at a C210 240K on the weekend but the rear end damage put me off. The car was brought to my attention because a friend knew of it. How do I go about finding these things other than just word of mouth? ;).

Would you be interested in buying my HR31 and putting the RB25 in that? It's bordering on a classic ;)

Failing that, jump on Ozdat, as a couple of sedans/coupe pop up from time to time.

I've was looking for a coupe (KHGC110) for about 5 year,

in the end my brothers friend had one, so now I have it.

In Tassie, these are extremely rare to find.

good luck, if you find one, this site has lots of information on them

The Datsun Skyline C210 is a different car to the Datsun 240K (C110) in Australia. The 240k (metal grill) ran from 73 -77, and the C210-C211 (plastic grill) ran from 78-82.

I'd wager the car you had a look at was a blue C210 coupe. Did these guys actually talk to you? They wouldn't have a bar of me, and I've been chasing that specific hunk of rubbish for a couple of years.

In my opinion, word of mouth is actually the best way to get hold of the car you want. You might find what you want on ebay or trading post (2 C210s available this week) but as you are competing with a bigger market the cars often sell for more.

Can I ask why you want that car? :) I wont be giving out details unless they say it's ok :).

My parents had a 240k which looks like a skyline C110 to me in the photos.. this is the car i'm tracking down.. but a C210 would be awesome too.

i just assumed you didnt want to buy it, if your still thinking it over then no problem.

well my plan with the car wud be to buy it, take it to scrap metal and watch it get crushed, i just get my thrills that way :) . do you mean if i wud part it out or repair it, if it took my fancy i wud be after repairing and restore.

240k and C110 are the same thing in Australia.

I've been chasing a smashed up C210 coupe in Melbourne (maybe the same on as you) - it would feed parts to a friends C211 coupe project/a C210 coupe project and to my own C210 sedan.

Is this the red one that tooted/waved at me on Hampstead rd heading towards the city around Christmas time? It looked really tidy and sounded nice as it went past.

I have spent alot of time and money on the engine ,engine bay and tuning .It also has good 5speed suspention bushes ect.It needs new paint and interior .As you probably know it is almost impossible to find one with very little rust.It took a long time to find this one as it has vertually none.I want at least $5500 for it.And yes it is a HGC110 1974 badged as skyline in Japan

A 110? :laugh: what sort of price is realistic though? Z cars of this era are like 15G but datsuns are 500 bucks.. make sense of this :) .

5500 seems like a reasonable price for a good one.. Would love to come and have a look :).

I have found the more I mention it to people the more C110s I find, they are out there but generally tucked away covered in cobwebs waiting for the project to start! Might start a thread on my progress if anybody is keen to hear it :devil:.

      They are in fact just nozzles. They are there only to produce a spray pattern and limit flow. The injector itself is what I use to control flow to the 7x nozzles. My old system had no injector and only PWM the pump. This lead to a lot of inconsistencies, and poor atomization at low pressure when the pump was ramping up.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By MBS206 · Posted

      With the system, once you drive it for a bit, and before you turn the car off, does the car fix its date and time? When you say the date is wrong, what date does the vehicle think it is, and does it always show the same date? My thoughts from a process driven view is; The system may be defaulting to a standard start date/time. The main reason you'd typically see this occuring, is the system is losing its constant/backup power supply.   If its always defaulting to the same date/time at start up, and especially if it fixes itself while driving, I'd say either the non volatile memory has an issue, or the power supply to the volatile memory that stores this information.   The other thing I'd check is if there is anywhere in the system you can adjust the date and time from. If the date/time is still moving forward since it wished you happy new year, then it is 100% possible the system has just had a bit of data corruption occur, and you likely need to find a way to reset the date/time in the vehicle.

      Scissor Jacks are an accident waiting to happen, the only time they should be used are in an roadside flat, even then a tyre and rim should be placed underneath

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
