That is great feed back to get. So it does have rust.... I think you could put a C210 in a humidity crib, and never drive it and it would still rust out :P

$10K? :):ermm:

I personally don't think he'll get that.

Be interested to see what someone will pay for it though, just wont be me.

The main areas are:

chassis sills and doors and along the sides of the roof.

The front guards were also prone (behind the wheel where it attaches to the sill)

Depending on the quality of the rubber seals in the boot, usually the spare wheel well, or the steel on either side of the boot (near the wheel well)

There are others, but I don't usually see more than that. Some have windscreens rusted out, but you don't know the history, as someone may have replaced the glass. The ones that I stated above are usually the ones that just happen due to poor design from Nissan

They can also get horrific rust in the chassis at the firewall at the corner of the engine bay, near where the bonnet mounts. If the windscreen leaks the dashboard can also corrode badly, taking the firewall with it!

The the metal clips in the rubber boot seal always rust - again often taking out the lip that it sits on - causing leaks, causing the wheel wheel, and hidy-hole for the tools and jack to fill with water, causing more rust etc... The bonnets rust really badly underneath at the front near the chrome trim.

To answer JDM's question, in short rust is a horrific problem for these cars.

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

As far as i know the C210 2000GT-EX only came out in japan so would be quite rare in AUS.

Seriously considered going after this for about 5 whole minutes but them I thought of 33yo oil seals and hoses and prop shaft/diff seals and heater hoses and the non working A/C-"just needs gas" yep--sure and ?? wheel bearing seals etc , and the "not even driven to the shops" little old German lady ad infinitum--and I was outa there. :(

You know, I agree with this. The amount of people who advertise "body OK no dings/dints etc. and when you see the car in person it's stuffed really gets me down.

It's easy to live with those things. They can be fixed/replaced, old cars are relatively easy to work on. I've had my fair share of old muscle cars and they're piss easy to tinker. What gets me are people who say "body is perfect, not a ding or dent or whatever" but you see the car and it's not what they say it is.

Didn't meet his reserve first time around, so now one of two things will happen.

A) He lowered the reserve, everyone bids the same and it sells.

B) He didn't lower the reserve, but everyone tacks an extra $2000 onto their previous bid and the seller gets the money he wants.

Wait a minute...

C) He didn't lower the reserve, everyone bids the same, car doesn't sell again.

It'll be interesting to see what happens this time.

D) The same people don't bid because they were expecting a lower price to win. They obviously didn't want to go any higher, so perhaps a new bunch of people will now bid :D

Or not :thumbsup: --the thing has a few question marks over it now (as far as this posts subscribers may be concerned) and it may not be all roses and minty goodness, if I were an interstate bidder for this I'd certainly not punt until I'd had a good look at it 'in the tin' as it were.

I'd say you are on the money regarding a lower winning bid though.

Surely a max bid of half of what he was asking would come as a wake up call. When did anything pass in a $6000 in one week and sell for $11000 the next? Generally, relisted items work their way closer to a sale price of $0 with every auction that the item fails to find a home. I'm betting the the seller finds his pride and joy passes in for $5,500 this time around.

Meh, I was interested, but not now. I don't even care if it got sold for $6K on the knocker. Anyone who asks all the forums what the car is worth, and when told it's about $5k (classic skylines/skylines Aus/Ozdat, maybe more), and then thinks the price is going to be $10.5K due to a small minority who probably own one and want the price to go up so they can sell theirs? Forget it. He can keep it. I'll stick to trying to sell my 'reasonably priced' but willing to NEGOTIATE HR31.

Not that it make any difference, but both my 79 c210 coupe and my 81 c211 sedan had factory aircon. only my 77 coupe didnt, but it didnt have many boxes ticked at all.

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
