hello all

On the weekend I bought a aus spec c210 coupe. It was the previous owners project car, which he left half finished. It has the orginal L24 in it, with a brand new set of extractors and a weber carb. the ignition has been upgraded to electric. the motors not running, but will with a little work.

It has a half finished manual conversion; the box has been put in and the driveshaft connected. The clutch cylinder and pedal are not yet installed.

The body work is really good. Its had all the rust removed and a general straightening. It looks like your typical datsun, with patchy paint :)

the interior is pretty good. it has the original steering wheel and the ultra cool space age gauges..theyve really grown on me. :aroused:

the wirings a mess, itll be the biggest and hardest part of the project.

best part was that it came with, literally, a trailer load of parts. i have heaps of spares, some of which i wont be using. If any fellow c210 owners need any parts, i might have them. of course the parts I need i cant find in the pile, so Ill be looking for some later.

It also came with an Rb30e motor with all of the engine bay parts for a conversion. i don't have the time and experience to adapt a EFI car to a old one, and patching up the orginal wiring just so it works will be enough for me. Im selling all of the VL/R31 parts.

Did this car belong to anyone on this forum? has anyone seen it before? Ill need some advice putting it back together so ill be hanging around here for a bit..

thanks guys :)

      I just got to work and skimmed through 61508 and 61511. I was surprised the CSA adopted both, but neither are enforced. To recap what I read, it states that in a perfect world, they should be segregated but they acknowledge that this is not industry standard and clearly mention that they allow mixing of safety and non-safety. 61511 also mentions software segregation like AB does in their safety PLC's.   Now if only I could go back to control, let alone safety over comms. In my current line of work, we're only allowed monitoring and basic control over comms. Everything critical must still be hard wired as much as possible.

      I've unfortunately never been as they're on the complete other side of the continent and another country that isn't currently letting us in as easily as they use to. I even heard their stop signs over there actually say "Stop" instead of "Arret". If I decided to trek the 48h drive, I wouldn't know when or where to stop haha. Whenever I order parts from UP Garage, I order from Japan as it's cheaper. Same with GKTech... oddly enough, it's cheaper shipped from Australia then it is the US.  UP Garage Japan operates their US leg though, unlike Tomei. If Tomei JPN had the power to close down Tomei USA, I'm sure it would be done in a day. They're two completely separate entities. Tomei JPN messed up somewhere originally agreeing to its creation and got sacked big time.

      I asked someone about this and he told me about the Audi 1.8T engine. But I think it would be difficult to swap

      I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.

      SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.
