passin ewe Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/341433-new-member/#findComment-5510787 Share on other sites More sharing options...

justadato Posted October 23, 2010 Author Share Posted October 23, 2010 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/341433-new-member/#findComment-5511656 Share on other sites More sharing options...
passin ewe Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 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.

Ghostrider Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 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.
