Hi All,

I'd consider myself a muscle car guy but when I analyse it I've owned more Japanese brands than anything else, 3 Datsuns (1200 Ute, 180B, 83 Skyline 4-door Hatch), 3 Subarus (2005 Liberty, 2010 Forrester & 2015 Liberty 3.6R).  I've also had an old 67 ZA Fairlane, VX Commodore & BA Falcon.  My pride a joy at the moment is a fairly original 69 Mustang Mach1(351W, 4-speed car).  

However, I have come across a bit of a barn find which I have identified as a C210 Skyline which I think is a 77 model.  Having a bit of a soft spot for Datos I think this could make an interesting project car.  Get it running, back on the road and just have a bit of fun with it.

But I have no idea what these are worth, if anything much at all.  It is an automatic, 2-door car and it seems all complete, owner has prime painted it but it has not had a full strip down, rather a closed door paint job was the plan, (remove bumpers, some trim etc).  I've been advised that it runs, but I'd say hasn't run in 15+ years.

Anyway, if possible I'd appreciate some opinions on what a genuine value would be (what would you offer).  Photos are few as I snapped a few quick ones at a garage sale.

cheers

Rob

I expect there is a bit of rust but not too concerned, I like the rat look.

I haven't bought it yet, the original owner is deceased and the family want to shift the car as the house is for sale.  Just tyring to work out what these are worth.  If it's more than I want to spend I'll try to assist the family to sell it.  Any ideas?

    • Son, in this country, that is a piece of Gyprock. f**king drywall. FFS! I also like the autocorrect of trailer to tablet. I was reading it and thing, "what the hell drugs is he on?" Then the photo made it clear enough.
    • SO whats the deal with this issue? I've read a heap of posts from the infinity owners in the US having full engine swaps done under warranty. Most claims are done on earlier cars than 2019 but I'm sure I've come across claims of 2020 models also having this issue. I like the 400r and Q50Red/S but can't fathom dumping close to 50k on a car with terminal issues!!! 
    • The above video is working normally. That is, that's how the right hand indicator should cancel when rotating the wheel left.
    • I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.   
    • As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.
