Classics Chat Thread

[coupe72001]

I reckon a model thread would be sticky-worthy. Some past and future efforts would flesh it out nicely.

[V8skylineMAN]

I am just going with what has been said, as it sounded ok. would 3 months work better? or just leave it at two and you'll jump in on the next one Dennis?

[Ghostrider]

Does there have to be a challenge? Why cant a thread, or section be started for modelling, just like there is a photography section in SAU forum already and models as they turn up completed can be shown off.

When I was at school we had a modellers club and weekly competitions, which I entred none. Rushing modelling is a recipe for disaster in my opinion.

So if I was to jump on the next challenge with one of my PJR DR's, I'm sure you would be happy knowing they are already on the way huh!

[V8skylineMAN]

Fair point, what is the general consensus? Just make it a thread? This makes sense to me. Wife, kids, and too many cars doesn't leave much time, even over two or three months.

[coupe72001]

Sure thing - just a thread is fine. I'm just very prone to laziness unless feeling competitive is all!

Maybe you can have the honour of being the first exhibitor with your just finished C210 and then we can see what follows eh?

[coupe72001]

Ok, watch that space!

[Socrates]

My obsession continues with the purchase of another C210 series Nissan Skyline

1981 MGC211 (MGC210 plated) 2400GT-C2 aka australian spec series 2 with air, steering, 4 speaker stereo and power windows.

Downside is that Headgasket is blown badly, but dropped to mechanics today so should be good.

Score! That'll clean up a treat Socrates. Can't go past white on black. Have you thought about getting some stripes on the bonnet

[coupe72001]

Also blown head is nothing to sort out. Just be sure it really is the head, and not a pin hole in your timing cover/welsh plug behind timing cover etc. An clean unbroken head gasket will be a bit of a giveaway that there is something else afoot dumping water in your oil.

[Socrates]

Turns out the head is corroded very bad to the point of not repairable.

I

[V8skylineMAN]

nice find, and anything is repairable.

[Socrates]

correct^ head will cost too much to fix.

I'm reconning one of my N47 heads to put on it

now i was told to use the exhaust manifold from the N47 cause it would better suit it?

is that true

[Ghostrider]

I might have an non EGR N42 L28E manifold up for grabs soon and it's been bright silver HPC coated
