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

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
