Hey guys, first off im sincerly sorry if there is a specific WTB section but anyway.

I am chasing a Skyline as mentioned above in "project" condition so something that might need work done to it but not something that has gone to far with rust! I dont mind Rust aslong as its not to extensive or hidden by bog (the worst type).

HR31 - coupe

DR30 - coupe (mabey sedan)

C210/11 - coupe or sedan

240K - coupe or sedan

And although not a Skyline a later model 260C (ones with "notched" rear doors)

Current offer is $2500 max but this is subjected to change and will be update accordingly, I do understand the rarity but then again im not looking for something in show room or original condition im just chasing a good, honest base for a project.

thanks!

For that money there are some lovely 240/260C's on ebay at the moment well within budget. 240ks are going for crazy money - far more than $2,500 for a project. C210/c211 are hard to find, but not crazily priced if you get lucky.

I don't know about the modern stuff you mention.

Ahh yeah, you need to have more posts, woops

Just seen the owner lists as being in SE Melbourne... that could be a problem.... Considering last year i had to give up on a 260z because i could get it from Mackay to Roma QLD (were i live).

hmm bummer! got excited to!

If you include shipping from Vic etc, with a $2500 budget that doesn't leave a lot of car! You really get punished for shipping non-drivers, as you need a flatbed rather than a car carrier.

Ceva logistics were the best I dealt with from memory.

Well yea shipping cost and well i would like to see it with my own eyes before i had over cash... Especially after I bought a VJ valiant ute with the discription of being only a few rust whole,vwas a 15hr trip up and back with a shitty trailer only to find the next day it had a half inch and in some spots a inch thick shell of bog with alot of bad structral (?) rust...

Paid $1600 re-sold it for $750 3 weeks later, couldnt stand looking at it... So I'm really iffy with older cars now.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
