If you want a piece of Skyline history, you guys should offer Pete some money for Marvin, his Skyline GT-B replica, with RB20DET powah.

^this is exactly (bar wheels) the same as my old girl. Farken great car. Awesome on the dirt and living in Canberra it needed to be. The RA23 has the nice LT rear and the nice flat front of the mustang version. Perfect. I had plans of putting a 18RGTEU in but way back when they were bloody costly. Ill buy another one some day.

Damn they're nice! Though I thought the C210 had box headlights, is it only the GT-EX that has headlights like a C110?

How much a C110 or C210 cost, are they importable?

Love those hot plate tail lights. :blink:

There's 2 series (as i call it) of C210's the C210 and the facelifted C211 of 1979/1980.

The series 1's come with quad round headlights as you can see,

^ that black one at the top is a newer (like 90s model) Toyota Century. But they kept pretty much the exact same look as the early (70s) Century so that still passes ;)

Old Laurels are cool rigs, and of course the X30 Mark II/Chaser (Cressida in aus)

    • To clarify, I meant nismo bushes, not control arms (don't even think that's a thing for my car). So the suspension specialist said, if I buy those nismo bushes which are perfectly centered it will cause my car to veer in one direction. Whereas he said the current offset bushes that I have were put in on purpose to fix that issue. This will be my third wheel alignment if I put these bushes in lol. My chassis is straight, all my rails are clean.
    • OK, well, in that case, the suspension specialist is either a moron, or you aren't understanding what he was trying to tell you. Nismo arms are not really different than stock arms. Both are fixed geometry. I don't know if the Nismo ones are a little shorter than the stockers (or perhaps even a little longer) or the same length, but....if you swap from stock to Nismo, whatever happens to one side will happen to the other side. It will not cause it to steer left or right. That is unless you have adjustable bushes in your stockers, and they happen to be adjusted to dial out some bent chassis shenanigans. But, if that were the case, you'd just put adjustables in the Nismo arms anyway, because Nismo arms are essentially just expensive stock arms. And doing a wheel alignment is just a weekly thing in my world. I have had the suspension apart so many times this year that I've lost count and just about worn out a torque wrench. I'm out in the shed right now cutting up some alloy section and making bases for my new stringline setup. Got to make new swivel plates next, then I'm good to do toe properly, as well as camber and bump steer.
    • Yeah, nah. Not a thing. The gasket between the top of the plenum and the runners is far more likely to blow out when it gets old, and not really at ~14 psi. These things have been run to double that for 30 years without that being a common thing.
    • I plan to pull the intake manifold off and check the gaskets, i read that the block to manifold gasket can blow over 14psi and when i picked up the car it was set to 1.2bar on the controller. Send the injectors out for cleaning. Ill also pull the cam covers off and do an inspection, check some valve lash. Someone also said that the timing belt can rub or vibrate against the belt cover and make that sound. Definitely need to get an AFR gauge on it, if it was lean idling im sure it wont be happy
