It's got me stumped......

It would appear that in japan the word for C210/C211 has the same meaning as the word "Japan" or something...because if i type "my japan" into google i get heaps of C210/C211 sites

They seem to refer to their cars as "My Japan"

Am I right, or is there some other explanation?

Got me stumped man, I tried doing the same thing as you, but I just get the usual "Japan weblog" and tourist type websites...

That said, I don't think anyone refers to their car as "my Japan", must be some kind of re-occuring phrase in the search results?

check this out:

Case Number 1

Case number 2 (note the text on the shirts)

Case number 3

Case number 4 (follow the links and you will find much more of the same)

This is how i got the impression that it might be the same word or something

it only happens with c210/c211's seems that c211 = japan lol

Yeah, just reading through those sites you posted, and the C210 was dubbed "Japan" because it was the first massed produced sports sedan/coupe to be sold simultaneously throughout Japan back in '77. Much the same as the "Ken Meri" KPGC110, I think the advertising at the time for the C210 "Japan" had alot to do with emotional themes, trying to stike up some 'o that old flower power free love '60s bizzo.

... hence "my Japan"... it's kinda emotional type reference.

Believe it or not Jason, I still keep an eye out on Yahoo Auctions Japan for your hotplate rear tail lights... nothing yet, and I really don't want you to get your hopes up, those C210/11 hotplates are rare, even for here!

Thanks buddy, your a legend! I look occasionally but i have to use babel fish for every little phrase on the page, because for some reason there is an error when you try to translate the whole page from jap to eng...

    • No-one in Aus/NZ would pay that much, because they remember when a turbo Skyline/Silvia was a cheap but awesome alternative to the mediocre shit sold here locally at the time. I'm sure over in USA there are enough trust fund kids who will have their R34 GTR, whatever the cost
    • I am stuck with enthusiast and very unhappy, even though Lumley, Shannons and Famous are all options, they all require a lock up garage, and my situation (basically a walled off compound from the street) is insufficient because the car is under a carport. I'm confident to resolve the situation I need to build a roller door with fascia in-front of my roller gate which is a solid opaque metal rolling gate. In any other universe moving the roller door 2 meters in-front of the garage door would still constitute the same amount of security but oh no. My insurance rates suck to the point of when I joined a market research for Enthusiast they were all surprised that I paid about 2-3x what other people were paying with Enthusiast when I asked them why their rates were so high. If I lie about having a garage, I save like $10 a month with enthusiast. (It's about $2600 p.a for 5000km of driving for a very unsustainable agreed value). Lumley has terrible reviews but @Duncan made me consider calling them when renew time came up - but their horrible reviews plus Christmas time made me... forget.
    • Not far. If all you want to do is know that they will reciprocate and move oil around a tiny bit, then a metre or so is all you need. Half metre fore and aft is enough.
    • That's the spirit!
    • It's fine. Basically if it has seized (eg due to moisture/rust in the bores) it will either break free on the starter or it won't turn....then you'll know it is freed up If it turns and doesn't start (reasonably likely) you will need to troubleshoot but most likely issue is a seized injector from moisture; same if it starts but missfires. Anything else could have happened (eg mice nibbling electricals) but the only way to find out is to close your eyes and hit the key I'd also change the fuel filter again after a few minutes of running as it may catch a heap of crap on first start
