Are you sure of the date, my 3/'77 240K is the model earlier that the one in your pictures,

I thought '78 and onwards were the C210

but it is very clean.

Nigel

my C210 coupe was 8/77 vin no kmgc210000321

dont expect much from a stocker as far as handling/ stopping goes. but a set of springs , aftermarket airfilter and a better exhaust system and it would be just nice.(all stuff that can be reversed easily)

It's worth $5000 apparently. So far...

Can't believe someone owned it for 33 years and still thinks its a Nissan.

It's still a Nissan though, it has the badge on the boot.

Even though they have the Datsun Marque on the centre garnish.

I believe having Datsun on there was just so people wouldn't be like Nissan? WTF heaven't heard of them before.

Also, How can this be a 240K if its not C110 series, wasn't here a general consensus that 240K and C110 were the same thing.

I reckon all the potential buyers of this car are probably on this forum. Problem is we all either dont have the room for it or have a lazy $5 grand sitting around ready to buy.

C110 and C210s are both 240ks in OZ i have a lazy 5k laying around but really want a 110 not a 210 will watch it some more tho. And it would be bad for me to mod something like this, O and my 110 4 door is seating in front of my garage without sus and wheels lol

I have seen some adverting material from the UK and Europe for the C210 where the model is referred to as the 240k. Remember the owner is German, so it's probably a 240k as far as he is concerned. In Australia, the 240k is the c110, and in Japan they don't use the name 240k at all, the c110 is the Kenmari (after a popular advertising campaign) and the c210 the Skyline Japan (same reason).

The Nissan vs Datsun story that I heard was that Nissan badged international models as Datsuns for the export market. If Datsuns didn't fare well overseas no loss of face would be endured by Nissan in Japan.

Socrates, Did you know that if you pull the Datsun logo off your c210 centre garnish you'll find something far cooler underneath.

It's more than $5 grand as there is a bid of that on it and not reached reserve, so I'm going to have a stab in the dark and suggest this seller has got his hands on it cheap and is trying to cash in on it, or is selling on behalf of the owners. Either way, they're looking for a lot more than $5000.00 for it.

I'll keep an eye on it and see how it goes, but my problem is the room to put it.

Cheers, D

My finger's hovering over the bid button, but it took four years to pay off my damn credit card and I'm not sure I could cope with immediately going into debt again... on the other hand, it's soooooo pretty.

Also on the topic of 240k c210's I got an interesting answer from my mate Mario. Apparently the early (77) c210s came with Nissan documentation (owners manual etc) referring to the car as a 240k GL. He had an early c210 at one stage, and noted the other difference was that it had Datsun badges on the rear quarters instead of Skyline badges.

I could be mistaken... but there was a post here yesterday (and I can't remember who, not one of the usuals though) that suggested the reserve was twice the current bid (ie reserve $10K). The post isn't here now.

I think if this car was a C110 coupe, I'd be bidding on it.

If I was to buy it, I don't think I could leave it alone. I'd have to change a whole bunch of stuff just so I could drive it.

It's not even a C210 GT-EX or what ever the turbo'd L20 version was. That's more desirable IMHO.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
