lol how much you want for it??

not selling at this stage would be hard to replace , have owned a lot of collectable cars & this car is by far the best original car i have seen & hard to put a dollar value on it .

Hang on to what you have, i own 3 of them, in 2008 i was offered $20.000 for my coupe by a Kuwaite man

who came to Melbourne.

Thats what shannons have insured my coupe for, with no questions asked. its a JDM Import.

He offered $8.000 for my white 4 door sedan and $10.000 For my burgundy 4 door sedan, my cars are restored.

Im hoping to get enough posts so i can show them on this site.

Cheers

Ive sold my fair share of c210/c211 skylines to buyers in kuwait, including several 240k's,

and one imaculate 1973 coupe.

Never again, i dont like what those cars get put through over there.

At least i have photos of them before i sold them, even my garage was over full with parts, 210/211 Parts

its all gone there, and now we struggle here and fight among ourselves to find bits here.

I was offered to buy a c211 coupe in 1981 it was for sale for $10.750 and had only 14.000km on the clock.

it was silver with grey trim, manual efi c2 options, an excecutive driven car from Nissan Australia.

Im still kicking myself 29 years later.

Cheers.

A guy had this very low km C210 brown coupe on eBay a few months ago out west of Syd. I went to inspect it and was stunned at how immaculate she was. I only bidded to 9k and it sold for a little over 10k. I kicked myself for not buying it on the spot when I was there.

I own 3 of them, one of them a JDM, and hanging on to them. at the time in 1981, $10.750 was a heck of a lot of money, if i asked my dad to chip in

he would of shot me!!

looking back today well the sad reality comes to foe, :)

Look mate i know how it feels. Unfortunatlly it will hurt for many years to come.

These cars in kuwait are worth a fortune, c210/c211 and especially the 240k, also the 280zx series 1 with no "T'' roof.

Its seems other there they know what a great cars they are, and look for them all over the world.

And will pay big bucks too.

Cheers.

HI THERE i brought that actual car & have traveled about 800 kms . as you say its condition is amazing , it would be the best original car i have seen & owned . what i like about it to it needs no work , i have been through quite a few restorations & been really disappointed with the work / time taken for work carried out & to top it of they rip you off

it is the best car i have owned for a very small investment .

Well done Mick for getting that car. She's certainly a beauty and no doubt will appreciate over time if kept in that condition.

Approx: $8.000.00 to $9.500.00 they need to convert it to lhd, but knowing them they will try

to barter, and get the best price possible.

My suggestion is to keep what you have, and enjoy it and what it appreciate in value.

Remember once its gone its gone forever!!

A true classic, Congratulations beautiful looking car mate, this is what we need to keep here and not end up being thrashed

and belted through the gears in Kuwait, enjoy your c210 make sure you get old with it.

make sure it doesnt end up there. the saudis dont care about these cars the Kuwait people want them,

They source them around the world.

Its good to see young kids into these cars, i remember when they were new.

the early 1977 c210 skyline compliance plate had "DATSUN 240K COUPE"'stamped on the plate, in early 1978 they changed it to

"'DATSUN SKYLINE COUPE'"

Some came off the ship without Vin no;s and were registered only with engine nos: how things have changed.

Cheers.

A family friend owned a BEAUTIFUL mint green C210 sedan, and I'd always said that I wanted to know if/when they were thinking of selling it so I could grab it. It had two lots of carpets on the floor, seat covers, and just about everything else needed to keep it in good condition. No-one in the family smoked, so I knew there'd be no surprises with burn marks here, there and everywhere. It was an auto but not that I was worried, I would either have made it a street sleeper with new engine/gearbox combo, or kept it as-is as an original car in incredible condition.

Unfortunately it was sold without my knowing. :no:

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
