Or just post some pics and plans in this thread, my project has slowed down cos im off to europe in a couple months and need spending moneys. Tho i did get mirrors yesterday last part i needed body/exterior wise.

Also cant make my mind up on motor, think just stay stock get rego then make my mind.

I usually lurk here but don't post that often, I drive the C110 every now and then but split a heater hose the other night and have been too lazy to fix it.

what car?

I had some tinkerings this weekend... So glad I kept boxes and boxes of random spare parts! Most probs or broken stuff finished!

The moral of the story is don't throw anything out that isn't broken. Even if it seems worthless!

I now have 4 pairs of headlights and 5 sets of tails, piles of switches and all sorts of stuff!

what car?

I have a C110 coupe, Guards have been cut to take the flares, i have GTR grill,front lip,boot wing and just got GTR mirrors. Still need small things like badges and not sure if i will have those side vent/fuel cover fixed or replace them with new ones too. And pick a colour im not sure on white,sliver/grey or blue.

Mario, KWD4500 is a bit of a lowball offer.

This middle-of-the-road coupe is going for 5.

Plenty of other surprisingly clean c210/240k's on the site.

Hi Drew,

it would be a good idea that some members have a look at this site

Drew has put in, check out the price of the c211 coupe in kuwait in 2009.

5000 dinar in 2009..remember 4 door sedans there C210/211 are worth more.

so yes the offer i had 4500 was low...also to add in 2005 faysal offered me $8.000

for my white skyline and his friends who came from kuwait he interpreted for them

offered $8.500 for my white c210, $10.000 for my red c210 and a eye watering $25.000 for my orange

c210 coupe...which still all three are not for sale...even now..so all you guys enjoy what you have

take it from me...im known there. and im sure they will be back one day..to make another offer.

hi Drew, good to see you back on this site mate..

I owe you a coffee mate where have you been?:cheers:

Cheers to all..

Mario.

and im sure they will be back one day..to make another offer.

Tell them what an excellent machine an MR30 sedan is; more technically advanced than a C210 and with such appealing lines. The 3 speed auto is especially rare and a silver (correction platinum) one with genuine scratches and fewer than 5 previous owners is rarer still. For $25000 (AUD not USD!) I'll throw in a spare engine, trans and even the dizzy that Dennis sent (which has great sentimental value).

Hi John,

next time these guys are down here, make you way to my home and we might be able to sell them some left hand screwdrivers.

they know what they want, and they know the value...series one r30 smaller bumpers 1981 to1983 for them are worth more than

series 2 larger bumpers 1984 1986...sounds crazy but it is,240 z and 260z 2 seaters are also popular, but the c110 is still the favorite

more the 4 door than the 2 door.

Cheers

Mario.

I'm still around. I still have my white skyline, but it's fate is hanging in the balance. There are a couple of interested parties, most of whom are interstate rather than overseas. Despite the values in Kuwait I'd like the car to stay in Australia... I can fantasize about buying it back one day!

Happier news, I have gotten rid of my Sigma (the kind of cute, but impractical, coffee cart tow vehicle) and upgraded to another very cheap, but bigger and somewhat cooler car; the Datsun 260c - 1 owner, deceased at 91 years. It's nice to have a weekend workhorse with a bit of character.

List what your missing! I have a pile of stuff under the house.... along with a few other members here Im sure!

I have a R30 stubby 5 speed box, C210 clutch master cylinder & flywheel and gearstick

and also have a manual distributor i wrecked from a L24e C211 (whole engine and box)

I need the pedalbox, line from master to slave, flywheel and master cylinder

(i sat the C210 master cylinder it goes, holes and stamp in firewall match, i think it will be ok)

manual console, tailshaft if the lengths and yokes are different from 3 speed auto

I am aware that i have to fabricate a gearbox crossmember, as the transmission tunnels are different (auto wider than manual)

ill make a few of them when the time comes

and anything i may have forgotten

thanks guys!

@mr boost. your c110 is amazing! very very pretty indeed :-)

@mario. holy jesus!!! $25k?!? i do know how you feel. someone threw 20k at me a few years back and i couldnt take it lol. dont wanna break up the dream team just yet.

R34 - I picked it up from a deceased estate auction a few years ago and just gave it a quick tidy up including some paint touch ups and put the rims on it and that's about it. It's been resprayed some time in it's life but seems to have been done fairly well.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
