hi there i have a 1977 c210 that is running rough at the moment do they have general problems with there carberators , i have changed the coil / spark plugs / tested leads & next thing i am thinking of doing is overalling the carbie .

spoke to a previous nissan mechanic from tha seventies & he did nothing but bag the l24 motor saying that they where renound for wearing out cams due to poor lubrication system & said they where nothing but a hassel to work on.

i left his workshop thinking surely they are not that bad . i am a previous v8 ford / holden man & know little about early model skylines . any reply would be great cheers my77sky

the are awesome compared to what holden had at the time

remember the L6 engine was first used in 1969

so it is an old design and in front of tech than even todays LS V8 engines, OHC anyone?

the mechanic who bagged the L24 probably another holden or ford fanatic,

the l24 is pretty much an indestructable motor, reliable and simple..i never know problems regarding lubrication, or that wearing out

cams?? was he kidding. i have owned skylines which have done in excess of 500.000kms the cam was never

replaced..maybe this mechanic was approching the dementic age,

if you need to compare the holden vb commodore or the xc ford of that time compare to a c210 skyline

the quality is such that the holden or ford belong in noah;s arch..along with that stupid mechanic..

cheers to all skyline owners

Wrong Thread dude!

Try www.r31skylineclub.com

:thumbsup:

How is it the wrong thread? He has a C210, and clearly posted that he bought a front cut to transplant into said C210.

Welcome boxer_power!

yes 180 sx struts will fit with some minor mods, the front will require a bit more work than the rear, use the search function, there is plenty of information on the subject.

Cheers

any

R30 diff is an R180(So is the C210's) but they are tuff as anyways...only reason to put an R200 would be for the lsd that is harder to get for R180's and for that lil extra strength if you are doing a LOT of clutch dumping with big rubber.....

Rear struts are straight bolt up....tailshaft is bolt up.the only thing MAY be the width of the rear subframe....but that shouldn't be a problem either.....

I have a complete rear clip for the r30 sitting in my shed ready for my C210 coupe.....havent measured it but cant see a problem( hang on,, im not tim.....I'll shut up now)

anyone can help me out with me pc210 skyline 180k?

my car comes with a rear dead axle and thinking to swap with a r30 r200 diff with lsd

when i got the complete rear end and i found out that width is slightly wider

any idea can recommend for me?fabricate a bracket to mount with it etc??

saw the first page looks like got few people managed to mount it lol

hope to get your help asap...

thx in advance

i recently put an R30 rear end in my c210. was a straight swap. the only difference i found was the handbrake cable between the discs is shorter with the r30 rear and the c210 one doesnt go back far enough to meet it.

I don't think you can install a IRS diff into a PC210, being live axle i would assume there'd be no crossmember or mounts for a crossmember for it.

Can you take pictures for us?

ok will take the photo when i am free

but i thought the chassis and undercarriage of pc210 design would be almost the same with sedan c210 (any version)

sad....no enough study before start modifying......

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
