Not bad. There are two interesting things about the ad. 1. The person put their entire address; I have not seen that before on EBAY. 2. The person is selling it for the engine really though there are no pictures of the engine bay. Silly.

That's the kind of thing I am looking for - I'd buy that one if it were anywhere near Sydney!

Just gave the guy a quick call.

"Car was owned by his Nan who is now in a home. Was pretty much in the family for most of its life. Engine is in great shape, body isn't bad with only the usual rust and the guard and door as pictured. Already been a lot of interest in this one and a few people have already made the trip out to check it out." Guy selling it didn't really know much about the car, just selling because of Nan obviously.

Hope this helps, personally I want to throw some bids on but it's no C110 :P. I told him to please please sell to an enthusiast not to someone who is just going to strip it down :).

Door to Door Car Transport will get it to you for about $800.00 so where is your problem.

And cheaper depot to depot. You could tray-truck to Melbourne then use one of the major companies to transport from Melbourne to Sydney.

was planing on bidding on it but prices got too high for an unrwc car

So your expecting a cleanish c210 to pop up for bugger all?

It supply an demand, people want one, not many around, prices go up.

Have a look at gt falcons..

That brown c210 coupe is still sitting at a house in tullamarine.

Someone here spoke to him?

Go make a offer.

Also I think it has a element of luck involved,

these two cost me $700, and $750, the 4 door took 2 years to get (a old woman had it since new, garaged all its life), the coupe, well I've been looking for even longer (5 + years) and my other 4 door cost me $1200, but that was 8 or 9 years ago,

The bigger issue is that there are no more C210 LHD dashboards available. So any c210, coupe or sedan, will be sent over as a half cut, regardless of condition to supply parts to existing cars.

Interestingly, Kuwaitis seem to prefer the 240k sedan to the coupe, but both are in super high demand, and go for serious money.

The other interesting change in Kuwait is that previously no-one would put anything but an injected/Holley L28 in their early Skyline, but now RB conversions are becoming popular.

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
