hi everyone im in perth and currently building a 1980 skyline coupe i have most parts but im chassing a peice of trim that broke during the striping process its the plastic trim/antenna housing that screws into the driverside front window pilar arrrgh... pretty sure its gonna be a nightmare to find 1 but if anyone out there can help or point me in the rite direction i would really appreciate it.......:no:

here are a few specs while im at it

model: 1980 nissan skyline coupe jap import

Hey Riff Raff ( good ACDC song) I'm in mandurah and have a V8 210 Coupe. If the trim your talking about is the same for both sedan and coupe I should be able to help as a friend down here has a sedan parts car. Nice to know of another classic skyline in town. Also would like to see pics. Ricky

cheers for the interest guys :-) just spent 2o mins tryin to upload pics to my gallery and it failed lol will have another go later on... at the moment its completely stripped and on blocks over the last few weeks ive been cutting out the rust and doin the prep on the body shes jst about ready for primer hopefully have it painted and back together by the end of the year..v8 coupe aye ricky sounds like a weapon not to sure if there is a difference between coupe/sedan but its definatly worth a look could be a lifesaver

How'd you go about engine mounts, x-member, gbox, tailshaft ect for the rb conversion?

conversion was already done when i brought the car from what i know it uses standard rb30engine mounts, c210 xmember and box mounts has a shortened tailshaft and has the independant rear suspension out of a 280z

The plastic piece you seek for your coupe is different to that of the 4 door, four door is approx 50mm longer. My friend is willing to part it and maybe you could modify to suit. Let me know if your interested.The only other option is yahoo japan but I don't recall seeing any on there for sale either. Ricky

I have been looking at C210 on Yahoo Japan myself, for the C211 I was looking at and the bits I needed were not there and haven't been anywhere else. I have 5 importers on the lookout for bits as well without success, so I went with the KHR30 in Ballina, as I have bits for them laid on & they are easier to find.

I can pick it up from him on Saturday so any time on the weekend or whatever. Call me on 95818997.

He's wanting $20 for it. Cheers Riscky

too easy ricky m8 done deal ha ha i tried calling that number a few times on sunday around 130-2 ish and it was engaged duno if the numbers wrong or the line was jst busy, then a m8 told me he had a keg of bundy on tap that put an end to me driving anywhere i will give it another go next w/e :-)

Can't see any other features atm.

Car was originally L20ET + 5speed Manual.

Whole body in primer - currently stripped out.

Rust in bottom of doors

Rust under chrome trim on bonnet.

Series 1 front Bumper

Series 1 Australian Taillights

Suspected blown headgasket from previous dodgy turbo setup.

more later.

Plans:

Remove and replace all visible rusted metal.

Respray in Blue - thinking Bayside blue or kia rio blue <(google it)

RB(something)DET /RB30ET engine + convert back to Manual.

Reconnect power steering to RB pump

Reconnect A/C to RB compressor

New Passenger door lock (currently missing)

Basic stereo install

Possible Series 1 Headlight/Grille conversion.

S13 coilovers from my Sedan.

Swap Series 1 bumper with Series 2 one off my sedan.

Install Series 2 stovetops off my sedan.

Goal for Wednesday:

Get the engine to start.

to realise this goal, the following need to be done:

Install starter motor

Install extractors/exhaust manifold

Install distributor

Connect all engine looms plugs to appropriate places.

Install Timing belt.

Install fan/aux belts

Install radiator

I hope it all goes to plan!

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
