[skybt1]

[Gordie]

OMG!

[benny_blanco]

Love your ride its pimp as! I have never seen one that clean before... also really like the fender covers and the wide rims..... do you have anymore pics?

Also love the KGC10 next to it, hopefully I have one sitting next to my DR30 RS-X at the end of the year

That sort of Sky set me on a path. I had an 84 RMR30 for 23 years but the darling just wore out after 600k. Now have an 84 R30 and a C34 Stagea. I wonder what could be next? Maybe a GTR?

That is just unreal.

I am also restoring a c210 (slowly and painfully) and would like to hear about everything that you have done to this car.

I am also just about killing myself trying to get my hands on local/JDM and performance parts for the C210, so obviously I'd be really interested to hear about any bits that you are selling.

[77JAPAN]

thanks for the complements. here are some more pics...

as for the extra parts i'm selling... the past 4 years i've accumulated parts, which after my restoration, i really have no use. i've searched all over and purchased parts from UK and Japan. my contact in japan had contacted Nissan Japan and of course i was given $500 (usd) worth of parts that don't apply to my model (the parts are for the square headlight version). also, a lot of the parts that i'm still searching for are parts that i'm unable to find. if any of you can help, it will be appreciated.

you can see the building process at: www.khgc210.com

ps. the hakosuka next to me is a GTRclone. a friend that shipped the car from japan. as of this date these are the only two classic skylines in the vegas area.

[Ghostrider]

There is a DR30 in USA somewhere & the only one I believe. I sent some badges to him some time back.

What parts do you still need? You never know - I might have something in the shed.

I don't s'pose you have any of the electric window switches for the C210 - we never got them here. What other parts do you have surplus?

[benny_blanco]

Wow love the new pics, defiantly the cleanest one I have ever seen, congrats on the work you have done, wouldnt happen to have any interior pics for a perve?

I think I have seen some pics of that hakosuka before floating around the net, from what i gather you have a few GT-R Clones in the states? I think the only geniune GT-R outside Japan is in the UK.

Is there much of a skyline scene over there since fast and the furious?

Ain't that a sight of inspiration, I just looked out the window at my decaying, faded 2 door and saw a totally different car. Yes it has the potential to look like that, i just need to throw another 10 grand at it.

Anyway, mate that is one sweeeet lookin skyline, I'm about to purchase my old 280z motor and triple webers, but I think I'll take my time and detail my motor before installation.

There's two items I'm keen to know about and that's the bolt on gaurds and the trunk/boot dam.Are they off another car or manufactured to suit the c210?

Cheers Ricky

i'm uncertain when you say.. "There's two items I'm keen to know about and that's the bolt on gaurds and the trunk/boot dam.Are they off another car or manufactured to suit the c210?"

send me a picture of the area of question and i'll have a better idea...

as for the condition of the car before the restoration...

this is what it looked like in 2004:

i still have a few more new parts to add and research, yet this has been the most difficult project to complete. as an unpopular model to restore, its definitely a project that i will not repeat. in japan the 2 door hardtop model is very limited, yet finding parts for a 4 door is a little more easier. i placed numerous orders to nissan japan and out of 100 new parts i ordered, about 60 of them i was able to obtain.

as for the moment, i haven't taken any new interior shots, but i will post them as soon as i can...

sorry. must be the lingo. Iwas referring to the added wheel arches on the guard (flared wheel arches) and the the black thing on your trunk or boot that creates down force on the rear of the car. Hope this simplifies what I'm talking about. Ricky

the overfenders on the car is made specifically for that model, also the rear rubber wing is also for the C210, which is sold in japan.

Wasnt this car just in High Performance Imports magazine issue 90?

[77JAPAN]

this car has not been featured in any magazines, since i'm still restoring the car.

there was a GT-R clone from the US featured in that mag, may have been refering to that...

excellent work on the restore..

[passin ewe]

Can you tell me where to buy the rear rubber wing and overfenders and what price to expect, thanks Ricky

[coupe72001]

For the air dam and over-fenders you can google "yahoo auctions japan" and translate this page or hit www.importmonster.com.au and start searching. The purchase price shouldn't be shocking, but the additional expenses are going make you cry though: Japanese postage + international postage + commission +GST for whoever buys your part in Japan then forwards it to you.

I bought a $17 piece of JDM trim through import monster, but it cost an extra $80 to get it to Australia!
