haha with my 210, i gave up on trying to do burnouts pretty quickly as power is non-existant. One night in a quiet industrial estate with the boys i joined the drift train and managed some pretty decent 80km/h entries! but the exit end of the drift was fkn hairy as there is about 10 degrees play in the steering wheel. I rejoined the audience for health and safety reasons.

loosen the rego plates so if you end up in someones bedroom rip off the rego plates a ''RUN to mums house and if mums not there go to aunties

house instead!

The only Steve I can think of is Ravenoak. He has a grey DR30 for sale with 57000k on the dial and he is looking for about $15000.00 for his car. He would cry if he found out how much I was recently offered for his old car, now one of my PNV's, because it was a lot more than he wants for his DR.

Its the steve that was at the Skyline Nationals in Adelaide, the guy who was MEANT to get the award instead of Rob

White HR30 Coupe, series 1, honeycomb grille, aftermarket JDM gold mesh rims. Very very very original.... (no lpg, aftermarket turbo, csa rims, seats, haltec ecu, king springs, commodore brakes... all %100 standard...)

hahaha i'd like to see standard C210 drifting, i find theres just too much understeer.

I always keep funny business to the wet now if that, just don'tt want to cause a lot of damage to car.

And how do we fix it?

Mine suffers terribly from under steer. I'm keen to get out on the skid pan at eastern creek but need to be able to point it in the general direction I want to go. I think an LSD would help.

No crying here D, you have done a great job bringing it back to its former glory. Although it was in good nick with me you have taken it to a higher level after a few years of other less than caring owners.

Take the offer, I am kicking myself now I didnt take the $20k I got offered in 2007 after it won best classic in the SAU Sydney show.

In any event all my tears flowed out long ago when I think what my old XY GT and SLR5000 would now be worth....

I think an lsd would make it much worse, both tyres putting power to the ground.

Wider rubber perhaps?

Do you feel the same pain when u put your foot down going round a roundabout and the front just keeps going straight?

Oh the pain, side stepped the clutch in 2nd on a quiet roundabout and I think I had oversteer and understeer at the same time, was strange, may have just been the body roll :P

Your probably right about the rubber currently rolling taxi spec tyres, LSD would be good for a wet skid pan. At least you know when the tail dose step out its not going to be a half assed effort.

C210: when you don't know if your sliding or if it's just body roll.

Definitely been there before with the whole thing when it under and over steers at the same?

What tyres you running atm? mines 195/65/14 pretty sure

mmmmmmmmmm How 100% standard with after market JDM gold mesh rims ?????????

Steven King is who you're refering to then.

And it's widely agreed it was a monumental stuff up by the "human error factor" of organisers, that that particular award went to the wrong place.

I don't know that Steven's car should have got the award or not, as there were a number of things that let the car down and in the same class was a blue MR30 hatch that I thought might have deserved it just as much.

Is he trying to sell his car?????

Cheers, D

stephen king, thats his name your right mate it is him,

I used to know the guy who bought that car he now owns out from Japan his name was Ivan

he sold that car through shannons auctions in Melbourne. Stephen bought it.

I think he is trying to sell it

i think that is a broad-slide? i remember in my first car which was a c210 sedan, i had really awesome tyres on the front and shit ones on the back at all times. it would always hang the ass out way before it would understeer. so maybe some good quality wide rubber on the front will help you out! oh and LSD for the win.

have a c210/211 Q. was the r200 fitted to this model? l20et?

jon.

The c211 incorporated the LSD Diff in April 1980, but in Japan it was an option for the c211,

it was used for the turbo model only for that car the c210 did not have one, but im sure the young guys fitted them anyway,

it wasn;t factory fitted as they had no turbos.

Cheers

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
