Hi guys, I recently bought Nick's (racsov) C210 project and I'm in need of:

1 x bonnet (small dents acceptable, minimal rust please)

1 x rear bumper (minimal dents / no rust. No plastic end caps or mounts needed).

I'm located in south east Queensland so anywhere close-ish would be ideal, otherwise I'm willing to pay for postage for the bumper. The bonnet would be strictly pick up at this stage. I'm not sure how much these parts go for so please pm me with a price / pics if you have any of these items.

Thanks guys. :D

You have almost no chance of finding the parts you want in the condition you described. Bonnets are invariably rusted under the front lip, and bumpers bend with the first light knock. I'd be snapping up any rubbish you can find and budgeting on rust repairs, repainting and rechroming to get them back up to scratch. Good luck.

I had a hunch finding parts in the conditions I described would be tough. Just thought I'd give it a shot anyway, you never know. :blink: Unfortunately I don't have room for a parts car, otherwise I'd have done this.

coupe72001, my bonnet is rusted (bad) in the exact spot you said. haha. I can repair this myself but if I can find a bonnet in better condition then the one I have now, it'd be much easier.

Thanks guys for the help.

The cheapest to recond: a bumper down here is $300.00. They;ve all picked up on this now... anywhere you go now

it costs big bickies to recondition anything.. it does pay to put aside a whole car..if you have the room.. :down:

Are they NOT available new out of Japan? Has anyone asked their local Nissan dealer about the availability of a new bonnet??

Sure it might be expensive, but what price do you put on CAN'T GET in AUSTRALIA???

Fibre glass ones are the go in Japan these days, painting them are a""NO NO"" and they wobble at speeds

a bit like Rolf Harris wobble board.

I wouldn;t want it on my car... id rather pay up..."" Kidney prices""

I sent you a pic yesterday. The rear bar wasn't all that good, but without success, tried to get it off in any case. Where it was bent, it was hard up against the towbar and bolts not accessable. Sorry!

Hi mate, I got the pic. Sorry about not replying, I was half way through something at work. Unfortunately I'm going to give it a pass, man. Thanks for your time though. :thanks: My current bumper is a bit better condition then the one in the pic, it's just a tad twisted and has a couple of small spots of rust. I guess I'll just spend a few extra doll hairs and get it straightened / rechromed.

I found some carbon fibre / fibreglass reproductions of C210 bonnets in Japan but they aren't cheap. oh well.

The FRP reproduction bonnet I found is 71,400 yen, no postage included. That's about $870 AUD + postage (which I guess would cost a fair bit being such a large item.) Then you've gotta add on commission for whoever you want to import it through.

PLUS the customs duty because the value has to be under AU$1000.00 to get thru duty free, which includes cost + freight so you wont get out of it for under about AU$1200.00 minimum.

A bonnet is to big to come EMS, so duty will be involved due to it being part of the container load.

Your going to save about 15kg, maybe 20 tops?

Be easier & cheaper to go on a diet if you're worried about the weight factor.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      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

      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...
