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.

cut? what a waste,guess you mean into a front cut, i hear arab's dont like coupes so that wud be to repair a sedan

How this so when they paid nearly 15 G's for a C110 GTR look a like recently?

maybe cause is was a c110 gtr look a like, and not a rusted and smashed up piece of shit c210? :D

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.

    • 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.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
