KMGC210-001393

Basically i bought this car a year ago. within the first week of having it i had overheating problems. Obviously head related... so i took it in to get fixed got a new head gasket fitted, and then within a week again i noticed the car smoking and eventually overheating again :) so i took it back in had the head gasket replaced with a stronger one (think its copper) but not sure and they also sent my head to get reconditioned meanwhile they replaced my diff ( which was whiny) and they did a service, They also wound down the boost.. when i got it back the car ran fine, The only problem was the car was blowing smoke.. and within a couple of weeks a little bit of smoke turned into a whole lot of smoke.. my theory is the rings need replacing now as there was too much compression, head is a N47... I really DO NOT want to sell this car i would rather fix it anyday... but my 260z has too much centimental value And i can't part with it. And too many cars in the front yard. So the skyline has to go. I don't think it will need much to get it back on the road. the car did run beautifully, started right away and didn't miss a beat. Would make a nice cruiser or weekend warrior/drifter. I was gonna have it as a cruiser and restore it.

Car is currently not running and unregistered, I could have it registered if needed.

Paint is faded but still looks alright. There is a bit of rust but nothing too major, the main concern was under the front windshield.

Price: $3500 o.no. it really needs to go I'm open to offers but i think that price is reasonable considering it cost me just under double that

The pics below are from a while ago but the car is the same as in the pictures just minus the stickers. (gf broke my digi cam) so these are all i got

damn shame about the smoking.....

Hey for that price you should keep it and get it going the best as possible.... then sell it in perfect running order!

I think these type of skyliners are one of my favorites, im sure others feel the same too!

maybe the reason that the head gaskets went, and now its smoking is that you had detonation, and killed the head gasket, and damaged the piston lands, thus causing the smoking,

have you done a compression test , are all the cylinders the same ?

my 2 cents worth..

Nigel

sorry the only parts i have are going with the sale. there was no detonation at the start but towards the end once i had the new head on i had detonation only when going over a certain rpm.

Also Mag86 im the guy that u found on the z garage a couple months back (don't know if u remember) I lost your email addy a while ago and havn't been able to reply, just so you know i didn't snob you off hehe.... im regretting selling it but atm i just can't keep it.. and it has to go :D

If i had the money and didn't have other commitments the car wouldn't be for sale, iv'e put the sale of for aslong as i can.

Also if anybody is interested my friend is selling this:

R30 hatchback L24 Efi, 5 speed manual, Spare starter motor, 5 spare wheels, Just replaced the diff, 3 months registration, daily driver, good running order

You can buy this and my C210 in a joint sale for $3500. (no extra cost) has all the running gear e.t.c that can be inter-changable

or if anybody is just interested in his car $800 o.n.o is what he's asking.

in that last picture its just bird crap on the left front fender and below back left door is just dirt, I just took these photo's 30mins ago from my phone camera

  • 9 months later...

*bump*

Sorry to bring up such a old topic.. but yeah i bought the car with the 5 stud conversion.

Also i still have the car if anybody wants it ill take $1500-$2000, probably worth that much in parts.

if it doesn't sell soon though ill strip it and take some stuff for my 260z and sell some parts and it will go to the wreckers.

If anyone is interested I'm willing to negotiate.

Cheers

i did a quick search and came up with this.

Vehicle Uplift

Adelaide depot [you bring vehicle to] Cormack Road, Wingfield

Vehicle Delivery

Sydney depot [you collect vehicle from] Marple Avenue Villawood

Transportation time

Approximately 4 working days.

Our Quotation: $556.99 - inclusive of GST.

since the car isn't actually running though, it will cost an extra $75 either side to get it picked up.

I might be able to cover the cost on my side.

I'm waiting for a couple other quotes to come through if there's a better one I'll update
