Well i thought i would post up some pics of my c210 which i picked up a little while ago for only $1500, It's a great price considiring ewverything on the whole car works and perfectly. Witch in this car is hard to find. Also came with the skyline centre caps for steelies and twin side draft carbys aswell.

It's a great car. The interior is great. It's so clean and nearlly everything is there. Minus the little switches for the lights on the headliner.

The body needs abit of work as you can see. a few rust spots here and there. I just plan to bogg and/or fibreglass repair them. Also im just painting it in the plain white it came from factory with, Im going to attempt to paint it myself and see how i go. Being white i can see how i can stuff it up that bad.

The motor is just the run of the mill stock L24 mated to a auto transmission which is soon to be a 2L turbo motor and manual gearbox. Trying to make it into a c211/c210. Just somthing that i nice to cruise in and get's the looks icon_razz.gif

Now so far iv'e just taken apart the front end and fenders, started painting the inner fenders matt black just to protect it from rust and plus i don;t want the white to be spayed there, cause i quite like that black in there.

It's gonna be a decent project for me. My plans are to finish it before christmas or before this year is over. Working away means i get a solid 4 weeks till christmas to work on it with no work commitments at all. so i should fly through it.

My plans which what i want to get done in the near future are ...

.fix rust and prep for paint ( just gotta bogg the holes as i can;t weld and don't want to pay someone to do it, If rust comes back in a few years il have the money to get it done properly by a pannel beater)

. paint car lol

. have a decent old skool stereo, all gear used is from early to late 90's

. Paint my 240z alloys and get some slightly streched tyres

.hopefully find some mr30 front struts and calipers etc...

. give the engine a service with all new oils and filters and what not

. Either tune the stock carby that;s on it. or chuck on my twin side drafts

. replace the worn out bushes ( only the ones i can do at home )

. Just basiclly give the whole car a genral tidy up ready for rwc ( must restrain from getting dodgy roady icon_wink.gif )

My future future plans ( i know it;s abit early but i got my mind set on what i want to do )

. L20et and manual conversion

. R31 rear disc brake conversion

. some jdm hot plates

. jdm fender mirrors

. jdm fibreglass guard flares

Hopefully by the end of all this it will be one good daily driver/ show car icon_smile.gif

Here are some pics at the old owners, It's just chilling waiting for me to come along and take it away icon_biggrin.gif

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
