Its been a while and the old 210 has been a bit spluttery but its finally time for some real work!

the l24 has been leaking exhaust gaskets, sump gaskets, rear main seal and many other places... so its been pulled down for a bit of maintenance..

so ive pulled the water pump off all manifolds gearbox, sump, dizzy, flywheel, rocker cover... is there anything else that i should check/clean/test/replace?

im considering building the l26 i have in bits and putting that in... any ideas would be appreciated..

Depends on what you're chasing, a freshened L26 is a good idea.

Making sure with either engine you change your rings pending condition.

Cause i didn't when i did my headgasket and it now smokes like the batmobile

If bottom end is in good order, and you've still got factory bore/hone marks within cylinders (ie not glazed) plus good compression, you should be ok for a while. Otherwise, with what you've done, I'd also replace the stem seals for sure. If you don't have the head off, get a shop to do it, or you can try yourself with a compressor & spark plug adaptor.

What head you running,, early type? I'm not sure on valve seat specs for C210. If early type, get a shop to replace valve seats or, get an R30 head, or even just buy yourself a 'valve saver' lube kit, fit it in line btwn carb & distributor, it'll save the head from dramas.

its an E30 head on the l24... running LPG but its only done 50,000kms on LPG and about 100,000kmd on petrol.. had the sump off and it appears all the hone marks are still the from what little i can see/feel

whats a rb 30 head change involve? havent heard of that one before... would a rb 25 head work then for the twin cam...

Cheers

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
