my mate picked up the new trading post yesterday at 6am. he was looking through it and i asked him if there was any 1978 datsun skylines in there (stab in the dark lol) and he said there was one! a C210 sedan in yellow for $300 with a bloody 5 speed. something i am desperate for! i called them at like 7:30am and had to leave a message. didnt get a call back last night.

called today at lunch time and the car had been sold. CCCCCRRRRRAAAAAPPPPP!!!!!! (my reaction was a little more colorful than that hehe)

Bloody hell. For $300 I would have snapped that up in a second. There is a beat up c210 at centre road springvale, no motor no box no seats, and they want $650! Faaaaark. You just dont find $200 Skylines anymore.

p.s. yea it was my plan to snap it up immediately. dang it. i guess ringing 1 hour after the paper was released just isnt quick enough! :D

as for the $650 rolling shell... it would wanna have stove-tops for that price!!

The ad went online on tuesday, I knew I should have called as soon as I saw it :)

The seller said that guy that bought it is going to do it up and use it in some sort of rally

      They usually get made by hand as part of any such swap.

      Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?

      I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      No idea about Neil's steering wheel, but I have the same behaviour in the Stagea. I doubt it has ever been messed with so might be normal. Indicating to turn right at a roundabout and correcting even a little bit to the left to go around will cancel the indicator. Never considered it an issue other than it being a bit odd.
