I just found this whilst strolling through Yahoo Japan.

It's an 280D (Diesel) GT C211 Sedan and you can have it complied in Australia for about AU$13500.00 + rego

Wouldn't it be nice!

Cheers, D

Better tell that to my 1971 Patrol I have in my shed then... Or the whole swag of early model rotaries or the 1967 Alfa 1300 GT Junior that I've previously owned :P

I agree with you that it's rare, but old non-turbo diesels are woeful to drive - it's like wearing your jocks over your pants, it's different but not necessarily better ;)

Least we agree on some of it. I wasn't suggesting driving it would be fun, just interesting to own for nostalgic reasons.

You had an 1300 Juniour eh! I used to have 57 Giulietta Spider and my all time fav alfa is a 105 GTV. I think they would have won Bathurst if they had have kept their wheels on.

Your Patrol belongs in a museum lol

Cheers, D

holy crap, i never seen one of those still on the road!

Me too...luckily

Interesting thought though to start a collection of "classics" that no one wanted

Would be a jewel in the crown of a collection of classic Morris Marinas , Austin Tasmans and 200B's

My Junior was a 105, was awesome for getting girls - ironically the first time my girlfriend (now wife) drove it, the brakes failed! Maybe it knew something I didn't...

The Patrol is a genuine 58000miles with books! It had been sitting in a shed for the last 15 years, and the owner bought a new car and needed the garage space, and decided to sell it rather than let it go to waste out in the elements near the sea. Mechanically, it needed a radiator recore and the front seats retrimmed, and she's right to go. Blows no smoke at all - once we charged the battery it fired first go too. The plan is to restore it for the Bay to Birdwood Classic next year.

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
