How difficult was it to strip/reassemble your turbo? Thinking about stripping mine (it's not making much boost at all, was running 12psi) thinking the wast gate might be playing up. any pointers? ps: sorry, not much help I know. Checked all your vacuum/pressure lines. Actuator spring might have given up? Cheers Dan

Hey, hey I'm still plodding along with the new paint, hard trying to stay motivated when there's so much sanding to do But anyway, where getting there Might through some of this over the green base if I get keen when the time comes Cheers Dan

Of course mate, not a problem at all. I know what it's like being a single income family on apprentice wages, it's not easy Anyway there's nor rush either, just let me know whenever. Cheers Dan

I really need that chrome trim off the front edge of the bonnet and drivers side guard if you want to off load some parts. Cheers Dan

Hahaha, frankin motor as in frankenstein as in bits from different engines put together to create a monster Checked out www.classicskylinesaustralia.com, pretty quite over there but hopefully it takes off. I'm off to recover from sun burn/heat stroke now, It caused this today Cheers Dan

Thanks guys, lots of sanding done and still lots to go I'd love to see some pics of DOHC210's car, I suck at the hole computer thing to but you'll work it out after a few triple posts of random computer speak instead of the pictures you wanted to post Is your motor an RB30/25 frankin motor? sounds awsome. Adelaide's a long way from Lithgow guys, always keen for a road trip tho. anyway back to it, car aint gonna paint it's self. Cheers Dan

Yeah merry christmas guys, My new year car resolution is to get it painted and rego'ed. Might even try and talk my other half into getting my wagon re-rego'ed and put the Datto on historic rego Thanks for all your help so far Cheers Dan

The trim on the leading edge of the drivers side guard was smashed, but the bonnet trim and the piece that runs along the lower edge of the grill are damaged too. Cheers Dan

Just found this here on ebay, I want those chrome trims on the front of it so bad I'm almost tempted to bid. Wish I had a trailer

Seems like I'm starting to make some progress, got the roof and bonnet back to bare metal, etched and undercoated. It's been so long since I've had a gun in my hand but It's looking ok so far Etch primer Under coat/guide coat and here's my little helper, she loves dads green machine

Have you thought about getting a mold made of the flares? could be a good little earner Metallic green + charcoal flares + fat charcoal watanabes = just an idea By the way, car looks awesome mate

I had a gasket made for an import G180Z Isuzu engine (jap Gemini) and it wasn't that expensive, but I can't remember the name of the company pretty sure they were in VIC, somewhere. Might be worth a try googling? Cheers Dan

Ahhh decisions, decisions..... I just don't know whether to paint it a nice green or the original green if I can figure out which one it is

HRV-00S YEAR - 1976 MODEL - C210 BODY - 2-door COLOR - Green

Sorry guys, If I could edit my other posts I would, but, I'm trying to get the paint code and/or name so I can get some progress happening with my respray. Going original colour I've decided. I found this site if it helps Datsun colour charts Thanks Dan

Hahah, you ain't the only one mate. And to think, my cousin gave it to me to use as a paddoc basher

Thanks mate, Have all the trims off of the front and rear windows (only broke 1 clip) but when you say "door skins" do you mean the interior door cards/trims? when I hear door skin I think outer sheet metal of door. Either way I think I'll just mask them off. Thanks for the fast reply, Dan

Hey guys, I'm getting my car ready for paint and removing all the necessary stuff, just a bit worried about damaging the trims trying to get them off. Anyone got any tips for me? I've done a search(came up with a can opener ) and had a look through the workshop manual but it only gives a cross section of the trims. I'm assuming they just clip on but thought I should ask before getting heavy handed with it. Trims to be removed: Top trim of rear window Top & side trim of front window Door & quarter glass trim Drip rail trim Cheers Dan

Hey, I've got the OK from my better half to go ahead with respray after stripping the rear end to do some rust repairs Thinking about going with this Tropicana green (was the closest match at short notice) with either a gold ghost pearl or a blue shimmer pearl as the original green has a bluish kinda tinge . more pics here Cheers Dan

Cheers Guys, Not looking to sell at present, just curious Plans are to fix it up for rego first then maybe think about a respray in the original green or close to. Have been pulling little bits off and taking them to work (bead blaster) and cleaning them up. Also started to paint strip/polish the wheels which is going to be a mission. but anyway passin ewe: There's not a lot of chrome showing on the bumpers really,with all the plastic crap hanging off them. Thought about some chrome spray?(shudders) Oh and by manual do you mean the gear box or the manual I got off ebay a couple of weeks ago? Dan

Took some better pic's today, still needs some tlc but is running well at the moment. Was wondering what sort of price it would fetch if I wanted to sell it at the moment. Photo's here Cheers Dan

Thanks Drew, I've actually pulled all three apart and inspected them, I gave the master cylinders a good hone/polish and they came up like new so have reassembled them to see how they go, but the clutch slave cylinder isn't real flash and it's only going to cost $30 to replace. Cheers Dan

Thanks mate, That will save me a $100 odd dollars considering I probably need both brake and clutch master cylinders as well as the slave cylinder ps: nabco is the other Cheers Dan

That looks great man, very clean and tidy. Am so tempted to give mine a good tidy up, but my wife will do unspeakable things to me if I head down that road again Quick Q's: Did you make your strut brace, if so where did you get the turn buckle/adjuster from? Cheers Dan

As title states, are they interchangeable? This is the one I'm thinking about:Here Cheers Dan
