Silent Shadow

yea boy!!

oh fux....

that sucks man. wish i could motivate you a bit more but im out of ideas lol. i got the striker. you can just have it. unfortunately the other bits you need i took from the car in the first place cause the same bits on my car were F'd. sorry man!

that link is broken mate.

im considering ripping the whole back half of interior out for a roll cage. but im gunna have a good think and plan this weekend. might have a heap of spare bits for ya mate. oh and i found a boot striker thingy if you need it still?? how's the car going otherwise? done much yet??

shit ricky i thought you were gunna do an RB conversion??

what happened?

hehe that's cool. Saturday you mean though right?? i was in the car too but was passed out in the front seat lol. it sounds like you're ready to buy a C210 again mate. do it. question: how much better is the Sooby diff compared to the r200? is it worth the hassle and price?

keen as to know this too. my open center is really letting the team down. thanks for popping the question Ricky.

man i am seriously jealous of your back yard and shed. living in New Farm sucks balls for doing up my car.

where can i get more info on this event? if there is any yet. would be great to get a few of the old schoolers together. seeing the vert there will rock!

this is my first car. i let it go in 2005 some time. does anyone know where it went or what happened to it? it just popped into my head yesterday and then i found an old photo of it!

you've definitely come to the right place bro. i dont have one right now sorry.

i couldn't notice a significant difference in free-revving. it's definitely alot quieter at top revs. half the reason i changed it is because the noise that the fan put out was pissing me off. now i can actually hear the engine properly. previously it sounded more like a diesel truck or an EA falcon lol. in slow traffic engine temp would heat-up sometimes to concerning levels. but since i have done this my temp has never gone above half-way even in a traffic jam at midday... which is great! it's nice to be able to relax a little more in traffic jams now. from memory this conversion cost me about $130 including the fan, the crimps, and extra wire. i think that's about all i can tell you at the moment but if i think of anything ill add it in later.

mad bro that's great!

update! i did an electric thermo-fan conversion just to see if i could do it lol. and it works a treat! it's a 16 inch sucker. i held it up by putting to bolts straight through the radiator on the right side and good old trusty zip-ties for the left side. the pack didnt come with any instructions or diagrams for the relay so i just had to figure it out which only took a few minutes. i am yet to fit a thermostat switch so for now, i have crimped an alligator clip to the remote wire from the relay and bit it onto the back of my fuse for ignition. so therefor the fan turns on when my key hits "on". this works ok for me at the moment but will eventually get the thermostat switch. i found that i could take of the old engine fan and use the same spacer and bolts to go back into the water pump. too easy! i have also replaced the dead master cylinder, leaking calipers on front, and leaking drum cylinders on rear. had to replace one drum cause it was completely shot. all new shoes for the drums and pads for the front. replaced the tail shaft with my spare one. there was literally 4mm play in the front uni joint and it had bit of metal sticking out of it!!! car runs smooth as now with no shakes. and is probably the best stopping datsun in town lol

all this info is applicable to my C210 yes??

some people need to relax a little (insert classic skyline love symbol)

LOLthread...

check my car progress thead. i pretty much documented the whole process. even the epic fails lol

MAG86 - Car stalker haha

nope not a waste at all mate. helped me successfully convert my car to manual and got a few good bits from it where my orange car failing. good stuff! im happy all the stuff went to good homes. people are still ringing me about the car. it's gone peeps! sorry.

a parts cars would be a definite plus! considering that car was a parts car in a past life lol.

going all out mate nice to see! what color are you going with??

ahh yes otherwise they would be sticking out quite ugly like and you could probably see into my boot. cheers for the heads-up anthony!
