Thought I'd wade in on this as well as your mostly well aware that I transplanted the L6 for 308 and with no regret. I love 8's, speed, the gruff V8 sound and of course the uniqueness of the C210 Coupe. In my eyes it's everything that i want, and try buying an Aussie 2 door coupe with V8 slotted, you'd be in for a small fortune. Should I ever want to return it to al'natural, it'd be so easy as hardly anything was changed. even the speedo cable slotted into the supra ( W58) box. Mine is engineered with original brakes and around town in normal driving they work fine, but even the 308 only weighed about 30kg more. My weigh bridge numbers with 1/4 tank of fuel was 1273.

My best time down the 1\4 mile was 15.8 ( L6, triple 45 webers, mild cam and tuned length zorst). I'm very confident after running a few times down the 1\4 unclocked as it was at a car show, the datto will be in the 14's and this will improve with mods to come. During the course of those runs down the 1\4 the brakes worked fine , but my brakes all round were renewed for engineering. The response I get is mixed according to what people drive, but the majority use words such as " sick" awsome and man that looks like a factory fit. As for the ali 76 motor, warps is totally on it. I had a few mates back in NZ that used the Leyland motor in a variety of vehicles and I think some of the Aus Z car fraternity have used them. at the end of the day it's about what you want and what gives you the most pleasure. So long as it's old school, it's cool.

I f that coupe had been here in WA I would have pounced on it, shame it was'nt.

well said ricky.

i was seriously considering buying this. i even found someone to do mod plates and roadworthy once the rust was out. but unfortunately as i have put all my money into my coupe, i couldnt pull 3g out of my ass in a week. pretty guttered.

my dream was to use it as a daily and keep mandie nice. if i didnt like the v8 i could just chuck mandie's old L24 back in no sweat, and make a nice stocker.

i called the bloke to ask a few questions about this thing and ended up talking to the guy for a bit over an hour about C210s and what not. he's a proper nice bloke and you could almost say he lives, breaths, and shits datsun skylines lol. mad enthusiast!

it was really cool to share ideas and stories about these things. oh and this is the guy who originally built the ex d-limo/ now xramjetx's blue 210 sedan. he was pretty stoked to hear it was still around.

so who bought it? anyone here?

Hey Ricky,

Good luck with the 14's, I'm curious what you can get from your 308 C210 that weighs 1273kg.

My auto MX83 Cressida at 1420kg fitted with 4.0L 1UZFE 32V Quad cam alloy V8 run a 14.709 at WSID and then I was happy, because no 5.0L brock dunnydore ever went that quick on the 1/4 (400m)

The day I run the 14.709 I had an 195 HSV dunnydore against me and he was one really pissed off owner. lol

Cheers, D

In Sept I'll find out D, as that's when our Woopass Wednesday starts again. My 308 isn't stock, it does have heavily modded L34 heads, yella terra rollers, quality manifold, a decent cam and a 650 double pumper. The reason I think It'll do 14's is that I've had a few runs against 5.7's and it hangs in there. Now I believe a stock 5.7 is good for 14 something over the quarter so this is my bases. Anyway I'll post up my time good or bad once I've run it. In the next day or two I'll put up another Utube post so you can hear what it sounds like now.

After seeing this car, ive been thinking about installing a VH41DE into my C210 coupe when its done. awesome sounding engine (youtube videos)

It has a awkward inlet manifold, i think with some modification and re-fabricating a inlet manifold,, i can look very neat in the engine bay, and its all alloy.

Lots of performance parts available from the US

Definitely has me thinking.....

Why a VH41 when VH45 is identical external dimension?

Have a talk to Mark at MRC Dyno Services http://www.mrcdyno.com.au/ as he has built an VH45TT HR31 coupe that is now for sale, sporting 360rwkw.

Cheers, D

      Hello Everyone

      Actually,  just remembered there should be info in the threads (somewhere) about swapping to a manual steering rack and deleting power steering all together.

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open

      R34 power steering

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.

      Skid pans in/around Sydney?

      By Kinks · Posted

      I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂

      Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
