Righto, seeing as its now the second of Jan 2012, and there hasnt been a single post in here, I thought I might try this.

The first page will be used for ideas for a name for this thread, i will post a poll once the page is filled with all ideas for names.

while I'm here anyway, how was everyones Christmas/NYE?

Cheers

Jason

I like classics chat thread, theres been a few times ive wanted to post something but its not important enough for a thread, so this is good.

Christmas and NYE was goood hey, took Delivery of my coupe so that was good.

Also Jason do you have facebook?

I have created a C210 Series Skyline Owners Group on facebook and i would like to know if everyone could join it.

Coupe720001 cant remember his name, does he have facebook?

Looking forward to more contact between us all

dont have xmas holidays, sucks.

does anyone else think the whole NYE is abit overated?

picked up 9, yes 9 R30 Ti/late dr30 wheels today. did well

This is the first time ever that i have had paid time off. and yeah NYE is over rated, I was in bed by 930-10 oclock.

9 is a good score!

hey Socs, soon i'll create my own FB account as my wife ain't so keen on the posts not so related to her. Anyway, I've been a bit quiet with my posting probably because for a while the C210 scene died off, and I haven't been doing much with mine although tomorrow I'm doing a dummy fit of the air dam. I'll take a pic and post it up.

As for thread names, how about or along the lines of " CHILDREN OF THE SUN" dat-sun did mean son of dat or SUN WORSHIP. Just puttin it out there. I really hope that one day many C210's will make it to these Skyline events. That's the only thing that's going to motivate me to cross the wasteland, going to a show to see multiple R32-R35's don't really excite me, I want too hear that many old school are going to make the pilgramage. It's satisfying to know that two more coupes are on the prowl and it will be good to see your coupe progress Socs, shame yours is so pristine Jason, could you possibly take it out and loose it on a gravel road just so we can see and hear about the rebuild.

Talk soon, chow

Christmas is about the kids and putting up with your in laws for a day. Wish i was a kid on that day.

Christmas is slightly better for me because my birthday is Christmas eve.

Classic Japanese show is probably our best bet as far as show events goes. No one is going to drive interstate to look at 12 old datsuns.......

NYE was awesome for me!

Started work at 1300 to shuttle 2000+ to Glebe Island for the concert, sat on my butt from 2030 ~ 0000, watched the best ever fireworks display from a vantage point at Glebe Island, higher than the plebs that paid between $150 & 1500.00 a ticket and then shuttled them back to Central station and got paid for it all.

Got some half decent pics of fireworks shot at f8 at about half a second and about 100mm zoom except for some power poles that got in the way.

Not a bad score on them wheels boys, what sort of plans you got for them?

Cheers, D

Yer, i worked Xmas and new years. Need to make money to pay for these old girls :P

Probably not doing much work on mine till Feb, besides reinstalling the dash.

This thread is a nice idea. i like passin ewe name idea tho new comers mite not get it.

Brad

I would probably stick with 15x8-9 if I were to go aftermarket wheels, I think all the 16s ended up as skid wheels on silvias, lol

In other news: Today i bought some new plates for the green car...."MYC210"

I hope to soon, i take it your like me and want to see if they will fit frist lol.

No! I know they fit, about +38 offset is the go.

I have a pair of 245/45 x 16 Yokohama A008 RSII's up for grabs. They are past their use by date and side walls are a bit hard, but I figure they would make good burnout tyres or maybe road tyres. They are new.

D

I don't think it's the look so much as the fact that the general populous of our fair nation don't expect to see the pre 1980 Japanese cars still being driven and therefore they create more interest. I know I still get my share of looks when I'm out for a cruise in mine.

Having said that, I ogle over a couple of very nice old girls that I often encounter on the M5 when on my way to work. One is a Bellet GT, and the other is an RT50 Corona coupe.

    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
