This evening my C210 stalled (auto), i think the carbi is cactus, and my alternator died last night and it took me 2 hours to get from woodridge (where i work) to Sunnybank (where i live), so today i decides to buy an alternator, spent 2 hrs searchin wreckers, sum northside wrecker wanted $99 for one, i couldnt afford that, so i tried abc wreckers, oxley and they had one off an L28 motor, so i installed it today m stupid me forgot to charge my battery last night so there was stuff all charge in it, i got a jumpstart before i left home and got to work with it stalling at all.

But on the way home it stalled and wouldnt start due to flat battery 3 or 4 times before i even left work, then i made from kingston road,woodrigde to corner of loganlea and queens roads.

i had a mate helping me jumpstart when this guy pulls up behind me and says everything ok, i saw the skyline n had to stop, he introduced himself as jason, turns out he is V8SkylineMan. we spoke for abit checkn each others beasts out then he had to leave.

after i got the skyline goin again i got on the freeway and the thing just lost all charge and dies near the logan road exit was sitting there for bout 10-15 minutes, when i get this phone call, it was from Jason and his best mate Karl, they drove past me in Karls fourby, asked if everything was ok n i said no i need another jump start, so he said they would turn around and bout 5-10 minutes there they were...it was like a white miracle on wheels lol.

they got me jump started n Jason tried to find any cause for the problems i had i got bout 20 metres down the road when it stalled again, they helped me out again, but i only made it bout 40 metres this time.

just when my night couldnt get any worse, i jumped out again and lifted the bonnect and hooked up the jumper leads and tried to flag down a car to help me, all i got in return was abuse and honking horns.

then a silver lancer pulls up behind me and this guy gets out n says everything ok n i said i need a jump start and he said is that all, and no 1 else would stop for u, his girlfriend, who was driving drove up to my car n almost ran her boyfriend over lol and btw she was bout 5 ft blonde and really hot lol, she decided they would follow me home and i didnt stall it until i got to the final turn which was a U-turn and then the dude got out n pushed me into the drive way...it took me bout 3 n half hours to home tonite.

saturday i will spend my time fixing the over heating problem and im charging the battery tonite lol and check all my wiring lol, if any1 is not doing anything tomorrow and knows the C210 series skylines, ur expert advice would be handy, email me @ [email protected]

just want to say again a huge thank you to jason and karl you guys r legends in a white miracle lol

peace out (*think ive bored you all enough*)

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
