  1. 4 speaker cassette deck as well? if so, you have the top spec you could get for C210s.
  2. Those badges! So unfaded and orange! and good pickup on rear wiper, mine doesn't have one What luxury specs?
  3. I have R200 longnose with CV shafts here Came out of C211 Skyline Sedan. Can also send you the modified moustache bar with it so it will bolt straight into your R30 rear. It's not LSD or might be worn out. PM (Personal Message) me.
  4. So.. Put more WD40 into it this morning too. Breaker bar failed to move the engine. Decided to move the car to a friends shed 41km away so it can be easier worked on and for better security. My friend is going to remove the Automatic transmission and the RB30E and try to free up the RB30. If we can't free it up then it's going to get thrown out and another block sourced. VL autos worth anything? Waiting for panelbeaters to open in 3 days so i can get it in there for some work. Photo Dump: All thumbnails can be clicked on. From my place: Trailer: Rear seat: Dash: New home for a few days:
  5. Will look at that brake place next year. Just sprayed a lot of WD40 into engine, will see how it goes tomorrow morning.
  6. The RB30E appears to be siezed. Breaker bar with 1.5m pole on the crank wouldnt turn it over.. Previous owner thinks it might not be aligned on the input shaft properly and not allowing it to turn. Will try unbolt the engine and try again when i have an engine crane If this doesn't work, will try source a whole stock VL turbo setup and put it in with a VL 5sp manual. Bought oil, filter, timing belt and spark plugs then realized most of them came with the car anyway ... hahaa
  7. Goal for Wednesday: Get the engine to start. to realise this goal, the following need to be done: Install starter motor Install extractors/exhaust manifold Install distributor Connect all engine looms plugs to appropriate places. Install Timing belt. Install fan/aux belts Install radiator I hope it all goes to plan!

  10. My parents have owned Kia's Optima and Rio new since 05. 0 problems, only thing i don't like is the lack of modern features.
  11. C210 rear disks should go in, i would think.
  12. Troll? ABS is brakes, nothing to do with steering.
  13. maybe not the relay but the resistance sensor, you're on the right track.
  14. bolts in, plenum hits bonnet i'm told L series gearbox and RB engine bolt up.
  15. Nice to meet the new people - put some names to faces as well as some people i've seen before. Biggest breakfast ive had in a while.
  16. No idea where to put it. so here it is thought the R30 owners would like it.
  17. Does peter gray do engines for private customers, or just workshops/companies?
  18. Don't cut the door skins to mount speakers in the front doors. Unless they've already been cut.
  19. whats the specs of the engine?

  21. Are JPC building the engine inhouse? I need a L series engine built.
