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

Here are pics of the car as it stands about 2 weeks ago ( back at work now so can't do anymore :( )

also got a pic of the 2 rims i have at the moment, saves me spending money on other ones, these ones will do for a rwc and get my by for a few months till i save and get some watanabies 16x8 and 16x10

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
