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.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
