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.

      @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
