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?

    • Also build this EH ute with 370z motor and gearbox with a couple of turbos just for fun.  
    • Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.
    • Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.
    • Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing  
    • I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.
