Hey all,

I'll get some pics up in the next day or two, but I'm now the very very proud owner of a Nissan 200B... Well, Datsun/Nissan.... sounds better as a Nissan though.

So, whats under the hood? Well, shes actually stock as a rock, and has as total of 67500 kms, and thats no typo. Even has the stocker hubcaps and everything works. No cracks in the dash - its like going back to about 1982. Was going to use it as a runabout, but its kinda too nice for that.

Am actually considering selling it on, there must be somone who want one of these things in good nick. ??

Either way, I'll be looking for a GTR soon. :D

I paid $1500 with 8 months rego, newish tyres, parts (including a boss kit which I had a wheel for) and a full tank of feul :D

Given the condition, I was happy enough with that, all the other runabouts I was looking at were the $3500 - $4000 range.

So, its a 1980 200B GX, with brown cloth and white paint. 4 speed manual. Been in the one family for ever, (since new) never had a young driver I don't think. Only issue is the glovebox is cracked and stuck shut - was going to find one at a wreckers.

Its got a full history, and yeah. I can't imagine finding another one like it. I'll give it a wash over the weekend and post some pics up for ya's :( Even the hubcaps (which I took straight off!) only have one with minor gutter rash, the others are all perfect.

Stupid :P

      Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.

      Emissions, fuel consumption, heat, noise, etc. most likely.

      For me at least the reason why it bothers me is because it's indicative of a deeper problem. And that will nag at me forever. Especially because I have tailpipe emissions testing + evap leak testing every 2 years.

      WELP. I went to the track, and I suppose it went okay because any time you can drive home is okay. You may notice the car is not on the circuit in this picture. It was about 35C day out in Benalla which means the track was approximately the surface of the sun, probably. Good things, car did not overheat but it _was_ warmer than when I had done track days in similar heat before, I think, I'm not sure - I can't quite remember. Coolant got to ~105 via the ECU after 20-30 minutes of belting it in said heat. Oil got up to 145C in one instance which is pretty crazy due to oil cooler. Pressures were fine. I seem to remember this not getting quite so high before the vents. More HMMMM'ing to be done. On the subject of HMMM'ing, can anyone identify the sounds in the video below, you will know which ones I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj3BkI2cbTc I included some 'normal' sound as a reference for the first minute or so. The microphone in this instance was where the license plate is. It stopped working later in the day which is why my "best example of a lap video (not produced)" had internal audio - Isn't hearable from inside the car. I don't mean the chirping of the un-bedded/badly bedded track brakes which you can only hear while braking... Thoughts, brains trust?
