That is great feed back to get. So it does have rust.... I think you could put a C210 in a humidity crib, and never drive it and it would still rust out :P

$10K? :):ermm:

I personally don't think he'll get that.

Be interested to see what someone will pay for it though, just wont be me.

The main areas are:

chassis sills and doors and along the sides of the roof.

The front guards were also prone (behind the wheel where it attaches to the sill)

Depending on the quality of the rubber seals in the boot, usually the spare wheel well, or the steel on either side of the boot (near the wheel well)

There are others, but I don't usually see more than that. Some have windscreens rusted out, but you don't know the history, as someone may have replaced the glass. The ones that I stated above are usually the ones that just happen due to poor design from Nissan

They can also get horrific rust in the chassis at the firewall at the corner of the engine bay, near where the bonnet mounts. If the windscreen leaks the dashboard can also corrode badly, taking the firewall with it!

The the metal clips in the rubber boot seal always rust - again often taking out the lip that it sits on - causing leaks, causing the wheel wheel, and hidy-hole for the tools and jack to fill with water, causing more rust etc... The bonnets rust really badly underneath at the front near the chrome trim.

To answer JDM's question, in short rust is a horrific problem for these cars.

It's not even a C210 GT-EX or what ever the turbo'd L20 version was. That's more desirable IMHO.

As far as i know the C210 2000GT-EX only came out in japan so would be quite rare in AUS.

Seriously considered going after this for about 5 whole minutes but them I thought of 33yo oil seals and hoses and prop shaft/diff seals and heater hoses and the non working A/C-"just needs gas" yep--sure and ?? wheel bearing seals etc , and the "not even driven to the shops" little old German lady ad infinitum--and I was outa there. :(

You know, I agree with this. The amount of people who advertise "body OK no dings/dints etc. and when you see the car in person it's stuffed really gets me down.

It's easy to live with those things. They can be fixed/replaced, old cars are relatively easy to work on. I've had my fair share of old muscle cars and they're piss easy to tinker. What gets me are people who say "body is perfect, not a ding or dent or whatever" but you see the car and it's not what they say it is.

Didn't meet his reserve first time around, so now one of two things will happen.

A) He lowered the reserve, everyone bids the same and it sells.

B) He didn't lower the reserve, but everyone tacks an extra $2000 onto their previous bid and the seller gets the money he wants.

Wait a minute...

C) He didn't lower the reserve, everyone bids the same, car doesn't sell again.

It'll be interesting to see what happens this time.

D) The same people don't bid because they were expecting a lower price to win. They obviously didn't want to go any higher, so perhaps a new bunch of people will now bid :D

Or not :thumbsup: --the thing has a few question marks over it now (as far as this posts subscribers may be concerned) and it may not be all roses and minty goodness, if I were an interstate bidder for this I'd certainly not punt until I'd had a good look at it 'in the tin' as it were.

I'd say you are on the money regarding a lower winning bid though.

Surely a max bid of half of what he was asking would come as a wake up call. When did anything pass in a $6000 in one week and sell for $11000 the next? Generally, relisted items work their way closer to a sale price of $0 with every auction that the item fails to find a home. I'm betting the the seller finds his pride and joy passes in for $5,500 this time around.

Meh, I was interested, but not now. I don't even care if it got sold for $6K on the knocker. Anyone who asks all the forums what the car is worth, and when told it's about $5k (classic skylines/skylines Aus/Ozdat, maybe more), and then thinks the price is going to be $10.5K due to a small minority who probably own one and want the price to go up so they can sell theirs? Forget it. He can keep it. I'll stick to trying to sell my 'reasonably priced' but willing to NEGOTIATE HR31.

Not that it make any difference, but both my 79 c210 coupe and my 81 c211 sedan had factory aircon. only my 77 coupe didnt, but it didnt have many boxes ticked at all.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
