Silent Shadow

you can get a boss kit from repco/ supercheap. you just have to wait like 2 weeks. be careful though. the metal ring for the horn on the base of mine came off and the horn went nuts. i had to pull over and unplug the horns (loud). also chewed out the mechanism that centers the indicators when straightening the wheel and started to smoke lol. so maybe like remove it and re-glue before installing or just remove.

did someone vomit on the steering wheel?!? :-p

hey man nice work on the really straight front bumper. so hard to find! is that the black interior?

woah big $$$ that car is in the same league as mario's cars. i have never seen stock wheels or inside the boot in that condition before. amazing car.

fail becomes win!

http://burnie-devonport.gumtree.com.au/c-Cars-Vehicles-Motorbikes-Parts-cars-Datsun-Skyline-1978-W0QQAdIdZ272104269# looks like a 4 door version of harvo's old one. mint! general price seems to be going upward on the ol' c210 ay?

failing that..... go to a shop that does hydraulic hoses and fittings and get some made. i'm sure it wouldnt cost you an arm and a leg.

since the rear is the same as an R30, you might be able to get R30 ones from repco and such?

you're gunna hate me, but i have literally everything but those rubber hoses. big sorry right here!!

gunna have a crack at adjusting myself. if it is still rooted then ill hit you guys up. cheers bros.

will look sick once it has the fitment sorted. what color?

so you just need the flexible parts?

it's your lucky day i think. send me a photo of point-a to point-b if you can and ill pull them off over the weekend. no idea what you charge for that stuff... what's the rest of the rear brakes like? cause i have drums with a heap of new bits like new cylinders, shoes.

year isnt over yet fellas geez...

anyone got a tight steering box lying round for a C210? mine has way too much play to properly handle around 300hp at the wheels lol. needs to be non-power-steer. and very little or zero play. cheers in advance guys. cam.

V8skylineMAN aka Jason came round today. as i have no idea about wiring really, i really needed his help! today he got the engine loom in and the ignition and rb20 ECU hooked up. the starter motor now turns from the key! we just have to get the fuel system from the silvia over to the skyline and we could very well have a running engine. getting close. this week i have been converting the front suspension to s13 coilovers. the coilovers and s13 knuckles are in. the silvia LCA's are too short and give the wheel a rather aggressive (+) camber lol. looks funny. so the plan is to try R33 LCA's which are the same but longer. if that doesnt work, adjustable LCA's will be needed. and either way it's looking like im going to have to make half datsun/half silvia adjustable castor arms. cause they way they join onto the car are different. coming together though woot!

are you still selling drew? this could be a goer.

wow just realized you had 3 different models.

make sure you do a separate thread with those cross member drawings so people can search for it easier. im sure that would be a big help for everyone man nice work.

yea alan said it is rated to like 600hp or something silly and im only putting 300hp into it. i think ill be fine :-)

s13 coilovers (8kg spring) are in the rear now. it was literally this easy to make it work. i left all the settings identical to what was in the silvia. although my mates wanna see more low lol, i think its perfect. i also bought that disc brake rear with the r230 LSD from alan/MY308U. went in absolutely sweet. the k-frame was already modded to fit the diff on all i had to do for the diff to fit was drill some extra holes in the 210 moustashe bar. i used the r30 one that was already attached to the diff as a template. take my word right now though, you want to be taking that bar to somewhere with a drill press to get the holes done. as that bar is crazy-solid spring steel and it destroyed a corded drill and 3 drill bits before me and my mates gave in. another cool note: i didnt know this until i got it, but that diff is actually 9 inches baby!..... around.. tyre specs: 225/40 R18. fits nice and probably would foul on the guard if the coilovers had more than 2 inches travel. but they dont lol.

faysal - make a build thread buddy. with much bigger pics!!

just read that topic. man you r30 guys have it tough!! you have to change practically everything!

@mr boost. your c110 is amazing! very very pretty indeed :-) @mario. holy jesus!!! $25k?!? i do know how you feel. someone threw 20k at me a few years back and i couldnt take it lol. dont wanna break up the dream team just yet.

also did this swap with my c210. there pretty damn similar bro so my write-up might help you http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/251107-yay-got-my-pics-back/
