Hi,

Turns out there is a Victorian Nissan/toyota wrecker offering all you can carry parts this weekend for $60. Bargain! Unfortunately for me the L series stuff is a little thin on the ground, its mostly R series stuff. I am slowly doing up my C210 on a really stingy budget, so this is a good opportunity for fellow povs. Any suggestions for what to hunt for? Apparently they have an L series head, but don't know from which model. Are there tell-tale signs to look for, as I hear the L24 head in my C210 is the least awesome of all.

Cheers!

Actually havent been down there yet, but am going tomorrow. I gave them a call however, and I can confidently say that he doesnt have any whole C210s... Just randomn bits and pieces. Mostly he has more modern gear, but I am pretty sure that I will find at least 1 armful of stuff worth $60. Maybe a complete R30 rear end for a cheap and cheerful disk brake conversion... maybe just handy spares like starter motor, alturnator, trim, lenses, cables... Ill see when I get there. My shopping list was too large to go over it all on the phone with the guy. Happy shopping!

Nisstoy was a bit of a washout - very little for my C210 and absolutely nothing for an R32. Mostly Pulsar, Corolla and Hyundai non-perfromance stuff. The manager steve is an old-school Skyline enthusiast however, with a large personal collection of cars and parts.

Hey Steve,

You may already know this but if you are still in the market for parts there is a wrecked R32 on ebay for $1,000. Lots of good bits! Its under Cars - Nissan - skyline. 6 days left.

Happy shopping.

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
