Thought I'd wade in on this as well as your mostly well aware that I transplanted the L6 for 308 and with no regret. I love 8's, speed, the gruff V8 sound and of course the uniqueness of the C210 Coupe. In my eyes it's everything that i want, and try buying an Aussie 2 door coupe with V8 slotted, you'd be in for a small fortune. Should I ever want to return it to al'natural, it'd be so easy as hardly anything was changed. even the speedo cable slotted into the supra ( W58) box. Mine is engineered with original brakes and around town in normal driving they work fine, but even the 308 only weighed about 30kg more. My weigh bridge numbers with 1/4 tank of fuel was 1273.

My best time down the 1\4 mile was 15.8 ( L6, triple 45 webers, mild cam and tuned length zorst). I'm very confident after running a few times down the 1\4 unclocked as it was at a car show, the datto will be in the 14's and this will improve with mods to come. During the course of those runs down the 1\4 the brakes worked fine , but my brakes all round were renewed for engineering. The response I get is mixed according to what people drive, but the majority use words such as " sick" awsome and man that looks like a factory fit. As for the ali 76 motor, warps is totally on it. I had a few mates back in NZ that used the Leyland motor in a variety of vehicles and I think some of the Aus Z car fraternity have used them. at the end of the day it's about what you want and what gives you the most pleasure. So long as it's old school, it's cool.

I f that coupe had been here in WA I would have pounced on it, shame it was'nt.

well said ricky.

i was seriously considering buying this. i even found someone to do mod plates and roadworthy once the rust was out. but unfortunately as i have put all my money into my coupe, i couldnt pull 3g out of my ass in a week. pretty guttered.

my dream was to use it as a daily and keep mandie nice. if i didnt like the v8 i could just chuck mandie's old L24 back in no sweat, and make a nice stocker.

i called the bloke to ask a few questions about this thing and ended up talking to the guy for a bit over an hour about C210s and what not. he's a proper nice bloke and you could almost say he lives, breaths, and shits datsun skylines lol. mad enthusiast!

it was really cool to share ideas and stories about these things. oh and this is the guy who originally built the ex d-limo/ now xramjetx's blue 210 sedan. he was pretty stoked to hear it was still around.

so who bought it? anyone here?

Hey Ricky,

Good luck with the 14's, I'm curious what you can get from your 308 C210 that weighs 1273kg.

My auto MX83 Cressida at 1420kg fitted with 4.0L 1UZFE 32V Quad cam alloy V8 run a 14.709 at WSID and then I was happy, because no 5.0L brock dunnydore ever went that quick on the 1/4 (400m)

The day I run the 14.709 I had an 195 HSV dunnydore against me and he was one really pissed off owner. lol

Cheers, D

In Sept I'll find out D, as that's when our Woopass Wednesday starts again. My 308 isn't stock, it does have heavily modded L34 heads, yella terra rollers, quality manifold, a decent cam and a 650 double pumper. The reason I think It'll do 14's is that I've had a few runs against 5.7's and it hangs in there. Now I believe a stock 5.7 is good for 14 something over the quarter so this is my bases. Anyway I'll post up my time good or bad once I've run it. In the next day or two I'll put up another Utube post so you can hear what it sounds like now.

After seeing this car, ive been thinking about installing a VH41DE into my C210 coupe when its done. awesome sounding engine (youtube videos)

It has a awkward inlet manifold, i think with some modification and re-fabricating a inlet manifold,, i can look very neat in the engine bay, and its all alloy.

Lots of performance parts available from the US

Definitely has me thinking.....

Why a VH41 when VH45 is identical external dimension?

Have a talk to Mark at MRC Dyno Services http://www.mrcdyno.com.au/ as he has built an VH45TT HR31 coupe that is now for sale, sporting 360rwkw.

Cheers, D

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
