Ok,

So I have recently decided to move away from my project HR31 Skyline Coupe.

I am really on the lookout for a C110 Coupe or possibly a 240Z. I want a project, so unregistered, not running is fine - but living in TAS makes it even harder than most. How often do these come up?

Any help or guidance appreciated.

Cheers.

I know what you mean,

They don't come up very often. but I did missed out on one in Hobart about 5 years ago.

my first (4 door - $1500ish )one wasn't to hard, but I brought that 8-10 years ago (2002)

my second (4 door - $700ish )one took 2 years, a old woman had it,( I did ask if she wanted to sell it when I first saw it ),she had her license taken of her 2 years later, then I got that (2008),

my third (2 door - $750ish) one took me 6 years to find , turned out my brother knew a guy who had it in his car port for 10 years, I got that late 2009

But I can say, to my knowledge, I'm the only person on the North West who has one ( 3 ).

I've got 2x 2 doors I'm selling plus a BUCKET load of parts. I'm going in inventory them this week and get a listing up. I've got a 2 door which has been dissembled plus a running blue 2 door which is in quite good condition. I've got spare doors, bonnets, boot lids, lights, chrome, interiors, manual gear boxes, manual pedal boxes etc etc. I've also got genuine C110 GTR tail lights, BRAND NEW (NOS) tail light surround with badges and GTR horn pad out of Japan. I've even got an LD28 Crank. I'm talking a HEAP of parts.

I've run out of time and I'm too busy with my business to ever start this project so I'm moving it all. I'd like to sell it all as one package

Some pics of the parts are listed in my old for sale thread in my signature.

I have a possible 2 door C110 in TAS, but your white one would definitely be on the cards if that falls through. Would be worth the trip for the car + parts. Will let you know when I know.

Same q: You selling the blue one?

Yes I'm selling the complete running blue car also, no rego no RWC but it's in quite good condition and has been kept dry since purchase in 2009.

I am going to list the blue car as is and the white car (dismantled) with all the extra parts bundled. I'm not looking to sell individual parts as it's just such a ball ache and too time consuming so at this stage, please don't ask.

Someone will come out with a ripper of a GTR rep, kinda makes me sad as it wont be me :(

I have a HUGE amount of parts as you can see in the library below, they are being stored in an old house to be demolished on a block my old man is developing -

http://s1184.photobucket.com/albums/z321/adzmax/Parts%20for%20sale/

I have 3 sets of doors, 2 bonnets 2 boot lids, multiples of front and rear bumpers, lights, interior parts, lots of complete sets of chrome including eye brows in good condition, trim, seats, manual peddle box, gear box and shifter etc, clusters, rubber, loom, petrol tank etc ect etc.

I also have some pretty desirable stuff in fantastic condition -

Black dash with no cracks

Glove box

Steering wheel surrounds with perfect air vents etc

A JDM cluster with JDM boost gauge

An complete Air Conditioning set-up from a local delivered 240K...mmmm aircon

Kicker plates

Perfect condition centre console with no cuts (not pictured)

JDM C110 Skyline front grill

I also have some items I'll sell separately which I also brought out from Japan and I'll sell for cost ex freight -

Genuine C110 GTR Horn Pad - 18,000¥ ($250)

Showroom condition (NOS) C110 GTR genuine tail light surround with "Skyline" and "GTR" badges - 84,000¥ ($1175)

Genuine C110 GTR Tail lights - 48,500¥ ($678)

I'll get an ad up soon and link, I'm trying to work out prices at the moment which is bloody hard and I don't want to be a dreamer. All I want to do it recover what I paid, 4k for blue car and 3k for white car all and parts.

Yeah I figured the same. Just like you guys, I don't like seeing people asking stupid prices though so it's good to at least get an opinion prior to listing.

I'll been overwhelmed with work at the moment so I'll take some pictures of the JDM stuff. A lot of it is at my parents place in storage so I'll need to pop over. I'll be sure to let you know when it's up.

    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
