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 :)

      Ah ok. I seem to be mixing it like everyone else does so not sure what's happening. Will experiment with it more.

      Depends on what you mean by OK. First up, was this done cold or hot? Are they reasonably consistent? Yes, they are reasonably consistent. Could be better. But unless it has had a build at some point, it is a ~30 year old engine and you'd expect some variation. Some of the difference could also be in user technique Is it good compression? Well....not numerically, no. New they were >160 psi. The one at 140 would be fine, in that context. If they were all ~140, you'd be reasonably happy. But the one that is @120 is twice as far down from the original numbers as the one @ 140. But.. (again)... technique can play a part in the absolute magnitude of these numbers, and the quality/state of repair/accuracy of the pressure gauge is not known. In the context of the above, the compression tester that was used last on my car is regularly compared to a known good pressure gauge. Not calibrated, exactly, but compared to a reference instrument that is not used for any other purpose, so cops no abuse. So we can trust the measurements off that tester. But another tester in the same workshop wasn't being compared against the standard and was reading a good 30ish psi lower. When you're reading 100 psu but the engine is really doing 130, you can make bad decisions.

      More likely from tiny bubbles in the filler/putty. Maybe be less aggressive when mixing it. Perhaps invest in a vacuum chamber to pull the air bubbles out?** **I don't know if this is a thing for body filler. I see hardcore epoxy makers degassing their mixed resin on the regular.

      IIRC, the speedo on these is fed from the sensor in/on the snout of the diff.

      They were. I bought the AWD for experimenting but racing it would disqualify or disadvantage me from a few race classes. Def getting a FWD for racing.
