Hey Guys, IF I can help sourcing any bits you might need give me a buzz, because a few wreckers over here in Sydney are getting a few of these in and they just sit there for some reason. I got harvo some bits for his recently although the buggers are catching on that the parts are getting hard to get and pricing them accordingly. It's mostly sedans I have seen lately, so whatever is interchangeable is good to go I guess.

Drew, did you ever get those springs matched up & I just sent hgc210 a PM letting him know I'll be down your way early Feb.

Cheers, D

Hey Dennis,

I got those springs on the car, they look the business, but truth be told they settled down a bit low and I'm bottoming out again. Looks like I'll have to get something made up from scratch.

This is pie-in-the-sky stuff, but I really need the little square black plugs that cover the hole for the bolt in the bottom corner of the front panels. From memory only the C211 and Japanese imports had this though, not the C210. Similarly a spare set of r30 rear calipers would be sure to come in handy some day.

Other than that I'm pretty right for parts, other than Mario begging me to hand over my remaining rust-free panels and black interior parts to finish off his latest project ;)

Even if you can't find the bits I'm after, get in touch when you're down. I still owe you a beer for bailing me out when I blew up my ignition module in the middle of nowhere on the Pacific Highway on a certain public holiday last year.

Cheers,

the other D

Actually... now that I think of it, let me know if any of the cars have ANY panels, grill, bumpers or interior parts in really good nick. There's sure to be a home for them! The only C210 mechanical part that I bother collecting is the timing cover, as they rot from the inside.

As far as im concerned it doesnt matter what car is your pride and joy, wether its a dihatsu sirion or a lamborghini it all comes down to your repsect for the vehicle, and others should repsect that.

the fact that i rebuilt the engine of my c210 with my dad, and spent countless hours, even at the age of 16, working on my c210.

Thats why my SS is my daily driver and work car, although i respect that aswell, i would rather it be written off than my skyline.... i would refuse a million dollar offer on that car, without hesitating.

Ghostrider, any parts you can get for c210's would be great but i will give you a more direct list on things i need when i begin the resortation of my c210, AGAIN! GRRR..

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
