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

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.

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!

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
