hi all

this is my C210 '78 coupe ive owned since 2000. IT IS NOT FOR SALE

Absolutely stock, i am the 2nd owner (lady owner originally)

5 speed, no air/steer. cream interior. straight as an arrow apart from a small dent behind the drivers door

have stove top tail lights (they cost a bit, and very rare!) the engine runs on 4 cylinders at best and she doesn't

have enough compression to go into 5th hehe

i wrecked a c211 4 door. the body was beyond repair. it was completely rusted and would not have suited a restoration

from it i got 4 wheel discs, injected L24 w/5 speed, power windows, air/steer. the front light assembly and dash. (dash is much nicer and will go into the coupe, as will air/steer and brakes)

some of this stuff i may be selling in the near future. ill keep you all posted.

those stove tops are EXACTLY the type i want for my car. i found a pair on ebay and won them back in jan 3rd. after not receiving them for 4 weeks, i got a little bit suss and turns out the guy took my money and did a runner. luckily i bought them with paypal and they were able to get my money back. but i only got it back this week.

unlucky (again)

unlucky alright. i got mine about 2 years ago... but i found my first set in japan a couple of days before the sept 11 attacks through the uk & jap sites. took about 4 months of emails and searching. all laid out on the floor, ready to go to my door for $650, then the attacks happened and the price went to $1000 (p/h went up), so the deal fell thru.

dont give up, you'll get them!

excellent!. sound like my old four door i had years ago. 5 speed, extractors and lukey exhaust right through, holley 180, air cond, no power steer, and very thick sway bars. silver in color, i discovered structural rust that rendered the car rooted! leaked heaps of water into the cabin, but sounded and went well. ive got my coupe fairly well stripped, will post progress pics asap

    • The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!
    • Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.
    • Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 馃槢
    • 500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
