Hi All,

I'd consider myself a muscle car guy but when I analyse it I've owned more Japanese brands than anything else, 3 Datsuns (1200 Ute, 180B, 83 Skyline 4-door Hatch), 3 Subarus (2005 Liberty, 2010 Forrester & 2015 Liberty 3.6R).  I've also had an old 67 ZA Fairlane, VX Commodore & BA Falcon.  My pride a joy at the moment is a fairly original 69 Mustang Mach1(351W, 4-speed car).  

However, I have come across a bit of a barn find which I have identified as a C210 Skyline which I think is a 77 model.  Having a bit of a soft spot for Datos I think this could make an interesting project car.  Get it running, back on the road and just have a bit of fun with it.

But I have no idea what these are worth, if anything much at all.  It is an automatic, 2-door car and it seems all complete, owner has prime painted it but it has not had a full strip down, rather a closed door paint job was the plan, (remove bumpers, some trim etc).  I've been advised that it runs, but I'd say hasn't run in 15+ years.

Anyway, if possible I'd appreciate some opinions on what a genuine value would be (what would you offer).  Photos are few as I snapped a few quick ones at a garage sale.

cheers

Rob

I expect there is a bit of rust but not too concerned, I like the rat look.

I haven't bought it yet, the original owner is deceased and the family want to shift the car as the house is for sale.  Just tyring to work out what these are worth.  If it's more than I want to spend I'll try to assist the family to sell it.  Any ideas?

      Manual Shifter slightly bounces/moves/vibrates when accelerating/deaccelerating

      By Doug 98 R34 GTT · Posted

      New R34 owned here (from the US) and found a gem, '98 GTT with ~6k miles, super clean & completely stock. When shifting there's no grinding, shifts smooth, etc. The concern I have are 2 things: 1) Only in 2nd and 3rd... when maintaining a slower speed (in traffic as an example) as I let off/on the gas, the shifter will slightly move and vibrate. If the clutch is engaged, none of this happens. It's not bad, but enough to feel like something isn't necessarily right. 2) This mainly happen in 4th or 5th... the shifter slightly bounces up and down, almost like it's riding on unbalanced tires (and I do think the tires are unbalanced as I get a little of that bounce feel at higher speeds, which is maybe why it only happens in 4th/5th). Lastly, and sorry for this noob question but I want to work on this car myself, can someone teach me some on these manual transmissions? Like servicing them, best products to use, etc.; would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

      Coilovers aren't even the first step. Bushes, subframe position and alignment, HICAS elimination, adjustable upper arms and traction arms in order to dial out understeer. All these things need/deserve attention first. ARBs (There's no such thing as a swaybar. Please, everybody, stop calling them that) are useful if you want to limit spring stiffness. Otherwise you can control body roll with springs. Spring and damper rates are a function of road surface, speed and usage. There is no solution that works for all cases.

      Series 1 r33 no turn over

      Define "nothing". Is the starter spinning but not the engine? Engine turning but not firing? If the engine is turning but not firing, then you are missing either fuel or spark. You need to find whichever has gone missing.

      Shitbox Tiguan updates, got the APR OTS tune put back on (no charge for it to be removed/added back), didn't want to just come in just for that (not a fan of wasting people's time for nothing) so I purchased an APR dog bone insert. The boys at German Performance Garage said they would fit it for free too since they had 1x hoist free. Now that's service you don't normally get from most workshops. Anyhow, tune back on, snow grate pulled out, dog bone insert back in and not going to lie, a few smiles when I nailed it around the industrial area heading back onto the M7. Amayama also said 1 to 2.5 month wait for the RB25DE heater hose, yeah why not, car has been off the road for nearly 3, what's a other 2.5?

      Hmm I'm going to approach this from the other side... What is the car doing that you don't like or what would you like the car to do that is currently isn't doing (handling wise that is)
