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:.

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!

      Just to get this straight if you turn the splined shaft to the outside, it turns freely but the chain does not move? What happens when you move the chain, does the splined shaft turn? Surely the shaft is snapped, or the chain is seized and it took the teeth off whatever great is behind the steel bracket
