Another defecter to the dark side :action-smiley-069:

I'll get another Datto, it'll just be wearing a Nissan badge is all. I'm to rough to own a classic better to go to someone who will appreciate it for what it is (and the boost bug is bitting)

Hang on didnt you say it wasnt for sale?

That was then, this is now.

I was never a die hard classic fan, yeah there cool car and something different but the cons far out way the pros for me. To make it into the car I want it to be will probably cost close to 10k then theres still the risk of running it into something hard and bending it, then what?

I'd rather go with the masses and get an S13 at least when something brakes there's plenty of parts to fix them. Dosent make sense to me to build a car into something thats already available at a lower cost and with almost endless after market support.

If I could afford it I'd have an s13 and keep this on historic rego, stored away safe and sound. Gonna kick myself if the price of these things keep going up.

I really am torn at the moment but I can't bring myself to drive this thing into the ground so the tough decision had to be made.

Cheers,

Dan

Not having a Go at all, i can completely understand what your talking about.'

I was hit in my GTS at the start of the year, and its been a Pain in the ass to get it fixed,

i worry about my 240k's as i dont have enough parts to fix if hit bad!

  • 2 weeks later...

Have had a couple of interested parties but as usual the girls aren't that keen on another "classic" being added to the stableno.gif

anyhow, this is how it stands at the moment all factory, almost...

Say if the holley carb was installed without Supercharger would it offer better tunablility/power than the standard carb?

I couldn't say for sure but i would imagine there would be improvements in both, much the same as a big down draft weber possibly.

more air, more fuel, more powers???

It's not unrealistic, but the problem today with these kind of toys is, you have to have someone that particularly wants an C210 coupe and not just a car.

On another thread some insurance company would only pay a maximum of $3000.00 for the C210 sedan damaged by some dickhead they insure. I have my factory spec PNV insured through Shannons for $30000.00, so it would be interesting to see how another company would look at it in a claim situation, because they have no idea of what value cars have other than what the Glasses or Red Books valuation says.

I don't see why you don't just drift this, if that's what you want to do. Why sink thousands into another car when you have a perfectly good one now and that nobody really wants to buy at a reasonable dollar.

One day somewhere along the track these cars are going to be worth squillions, but only when there just isn't another one to be found.

JMHO

I'm not in a huge rush to sell it but have found a 200b that I have really taken a liking too and will most likely be bringing it home with me on the weekend.

It's expensive for a 200b but still cheap compared to some other more desirable models so can be brought now and rego'ed once my car sells. Not really that keen to get into drifting more up for some motorkahana/karkahana type stuff nothing to serious but love getting in the dirt/mud and not real keen to throw the coupe round in that stuff. It's also not insured either so really don't like driving it.

So far I've been offered $2500 a couple times, had a sale fall through at $4500, offered $3500 today as well as being offered a ke55 corolla coupe with slr5000 flares, mini tubs, leather interior, half finished project type thing, a kawasaki zzr250 and a ford futura? Whats wrong with these people being the owner of a datto surly they know I have some standards rolleyes.gif

I've spent a LOT of time and a bit of coin to get this thing to where it is today just want to cover my costs, might tone down the advertising till later in the year if it's not sold through ebay (ends sunday)

Anyway, I might give her tub tomorrow and take her for a spin, hasn't been out of the shed for a couple of weeks.

Cheers,

Dan

I agree with Ghosty, you might just have to wait for the right person.

I think its a great car with good value for money for what it is, but with the current prices of imports means its now harder to offload a older car.

a 200b? come on man, why?!

go a s13 if you like dirt, they are awesome and cheap to boot.

(ive paid 1400$ for a rego'd auto,non turbo silvia, and 2700$ for a unrego'd sr20 turbo 5 speed 180sx respectively)

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
