Hey All. Having been given this car and finding it hard to get any decent values on it, I decided to post up here and see if anyone would be interested in it.

Make: Nissan/Datsun

Model: Skyline/240k

Year: 1978

Engine: 2.4L SOHC Carby

Trans: 3 Speed Auto

KMs: 61K kms. Looks to be original, steering wheel is immaculate, no wear marks whatsoever, even the same with the auto shifter or handbrake.

Interior is in good condition, dash has couple cracks, back seats appear to be perfect, front couple have some rough patches, but have car seats covers over them. Has new standard exhaust. Stock wheels, serviced/major changes - oil/air/trans etc at 50 odd k kms.

Problems : Windscreen squirters are *****, dont make the window. Makes a whine noise sometimes when you go to start. Suspension is starting to squeal. Heater makes this generator noise when on.

So can some GC210 fans give me a price that might be suitable for this. I would love someone to take this off me for parts... so i can get something like a 4 cylinder..

email me if your interested. [email protected]

Kane,

I just paid $2000 privately, for a 4 door, 5 speed, '78 C210 with 248 000 original kms. no rust, original wheels, steering wheel, seat trim etc. The only reason I bought it is for transplanting an rb motor into it. I could not see anyone paying more than $1500 privately for it if they were to buy it (four door) and keep as is. If you have the 2 door version (good for you) expect $2,000 to $2,500 maximum. Greater demand.

If you found someone who was going to transplant the motor like me expect $2,000 4 door and $3000 2 door.

The C210, to me is a classic nissan that was very underrated (only the engine -power- was its downfall). Good Luck selling it.

However, I am missing all the Skyline badges on the boot and side rear tail guards. If you still have those and you decide to sell it for parts, give me a tinker.

Mines the 4-Door, and is also completely badgeless (why you'd debadge a skyline I don't know!)

haha those prices are just what I wasn't expecting. I thought less because of their slug motors. I swear with the size of the engine bay, you could fit 2x RB26DETT's easily!!!

Good luck with your conversion!

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
