210 Body Restoration Under Way

awesome work. would love to do the same thing to one -
theres a guy in brisbane who has 16 of them and wont sell any.

if its really a nismo motor then thats an awesome peice of history youve got.

genuine parts are expencive because theyre f**king better than any shitty aftermarket parts (im talking stock replacement ones not upgraded modifications). when you take your car to a dealership, you get people who actually know how to do the jobs, have the right tools and the diagnostic hardware and software and know how to use it, and have all the information such as tech bulletins (updates from the manufacturer on common problems and pictorial walk throughs on how to diagnose and repair it) so you know your car is actually getting fixed by car who know what theyre doing.. when you take it to a generic "whatever comes through the door" workshop they dont have any of that and have to figure it out as they go. its the same old pitch that dealerships use to get people to take their cars back to get serviced, but its f**king true.

nissan would certainly offer to repair the car and carry out recalls at your expense, but no f**king way in hell would they give you any free warranty parts and repairs. nothing is free, nissan pay the dealerships for any warranty work they they do.

Just Jap Warehouse Robbery - Sydney 20/7/2008

how f**k thats huge! probably already on a boat on its way to the saudi arabia -
if anyone knows of any reasonably priced hardtop c210s for sale in brisbane please PM me.

as for the cost side of it, you can pick up an alright condition manual r31 for under 2k no worries. as long as the motor and box are healthy and the cars not smashed, its ok. your replacing the clutch, tyres and suspension shit anyway. example car $1000 new hd clutch (not worth using second hand ones) $300 s13 coilovers second hand $500-$1000 s13 front end gear >$300 new decent steer tyres $400 mini spool diff centre $80 some decent steer wheels $300ish harness $100 plus fresh fluids, belts, hoses, pads ect start off using throwaway tyres from tyre shops, with a non turbo you wanna use 195s or 205s on a r31, 185s on a corolla ect, depends on your driving style. add either trailer costs or rego costs, plus entry to the event, a helmet and fuel.
-
whatever it is, get a locked/shimmed diff at BARE minimum. if you dont have a diff that will spin 2 wheels every single time, you are just wasting your time and money. coilovers is definately next, if your serious about drifting you want stiff, about 9/7 stiff for s13s (depends on the cars suspension setup and what motor ect). a heavy duty clutch that will take the power your car has decent steer tyres on somewhat wide and light rims is important too. a harness, bucket seat and steering wheel like a nardi. swaybars and adjustable arms (castor arms and rear camber arms are the first ones you want) your car to not be a unreliable, worn out shitbox that will break down by the end of the session. in the under 5k bracket, theres a few popular cars that have a decent aftermarket support and arent too hard to get parts for. r31 - minispool diff centres on ebay for $80, s13 front end gear fits, s13 rear coilovers fit all round (rears need a little work) all skyline configuration motors bolt in, lots of aftermarket bits from other cars fit KE70/Ae71 corolla, all sprinter bits fit, they make up in their lack pf power with their light weight. seriously cool cars when done up right. ae86, can be found with basic drift parts for under 5k. if your gonna piss and moan about takumi tax, then get a ke70 NA s13 is probably the best chassis and the easiest to upgrade. then theres other ones like older celicas, commodores, geminis ect but unless yoru willing to spend heaps of money or do alot of f**king around getting parts form other cars to fit, theyre not worth it. good reason popular cars are popular

nice as bud hold onto it. C210 (especially coupes) are getting really hard to find now. never seen one in yellow before, thats awesome.

Buying Old Parts From Nissan?
racsov500 replied to YO880's topic in Classic & Vintage (1950's-1980's)
I work at a nissan dealership, there are still manuals with all the parts and numbers (and crash repair catalouges) for pretty much every australian delivered datsun, including the old skylines. also can try nissan FAST, im pretty certain I saw the c210 and c110 on there last time i looked. whether or not you can find any of the parts in stock somewhere is another thing. -
actually thats how its meant to be pronounced
-

racsov500 replied to big bumpy's topic in Classic & Vintage (1950's-1980's)
yea this has been discussed alot. not worth the effort when you can get skylines for the same money
