there's a difference between a layer of carbon fibre (most bonnets n stuff for looks in a car) and composite honeycomb carbon fibre used in masts and other spaceframes like bikes etc.

i think in the case of a carbon fibre layr on top of the alloy its just for looks.

ok, i know this post is kinda cold now, but its sticky, so i thought i couold get away with re-opening it...

just a quick question about some older model skylines... pre R30 etc. One of my mates just picked up a '78 line with a 2.8 Turbo EFI motor in it. The body is in really good nik, and for 1200 bucks its heaps of fun :wassup: (not to mention fast) but i was just wondering if anyone had any pics of some tidy examples of the same cars so we could see where to go with this one. Was also wondering if some of you real buffs out there knew what the original engine was, coz im fairly sure it wasn't an L28ET !

cheers guys

that would be the GC211 or KPGC211

The C211 series was released in August 1977 and, just like the C110 series, came in four versions. First of all, due to the fuel crisis and emissions regulations, the GT-R was missing and instead the Skyline 2000GT-ES (KGC211) marked the top-of-the-line now.

The latter came out in April 1980 and featured a new turbo-version of the L20, called the L20ET, with 140hp. This engine might have been less powerful than the GT-Rs, but in contrast to the S20, obeyed to emissions regulations and marked a new milestone in Skyline history: For the first time a turbo engine powered a Skyline.

The basic versions were called 1600TI and 1800TI now and featured L16 and L18 engines respectively, instead of the preceding "G" engines. The old 2000GT-X lost the X (and was now called the 2000GT), but kept an unchanged L20 engine, which still pumped out 130hp.

here's a model of one http://www.geocities.co.jp/MotorCity-Race/...galc211gtt2.htm

Basically the site has a huge DIY GC211 restoration section etc... use http://babelfish.altavista.com to translate it.

I'm not really a big fan of the GC211 more of the KPGC110... which is very remeniscant of a shelby mustang (aka elanor)

oh and if you bought a locally sold C210 this page has some info on it...

but you need to change the tail lights to jap spec man...

thanks for the info guys !

the car is a fully imported 4 door model - still can't work out what the exact model is, coz it's missing the bumper (not a bad thing though, the big black one looks kinda weird...

ill let ya know how it turns out.

if you PM me the VIN number I can put it thru the Nissan Japan database n get you details on the car from production factory to cloth trim... I dunno if the software goes that far back though, but it couldn't hurt.

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
