C210 Coupe

[Jono_c210]

hey. been looking around these forums for a fair while, but never actually signed up. anyways, i thought it was about time.

I just bought a c210 skyline coupe.

was wondering what can be done to the L24 to give it a bit more poke..

Still gotta get the car past rego sometime within the next few weeks (which shouldnt be too hard..) but after that it will be an ongoing project.

here are a few pics..

Wow, really a '77? What's the VIN? Must be a very early one. Looks clean, will probably really shine after a cut and polish. Make sure whhen you get it registered again you stick the sticker on the windshield, where it's supposed to go

[Jono_c210]

haha. yeah. i noticed that.. i dunno why you'd stick it on a window that winds down.

just needs a few minor rust repairs before rego i think. although it might pass as is.

Looks pretty mint, just needs wheels and to be dropped a couple of inches

[Jono_c210]

the chassis number (im guessin thats the VIN, right?) is

KMGC210 - 000395 .. or something similar..

was built 12/77 according to the plate on the firewall.

looks real clean... is it an import or a Datsun 240K that's been Skyline-ised?

[Jono_c210]

nah, it says it was built by nissan australia...

I used to have one of those in "Jaffa" orange.

Rust in those are a bugger (especially around the rear wheel arches and boot) but mine was very reliable. I remember I bought the last new old stock window rubbers for the rear windows from Nissan Australia. It really suprised me how many old parts Nissan Australia still carries.

All it needs is a RB25 DET and they would be great!

woow, that looks very clean, what my car would have looked liked!

nice score, how much did it set you back?

[Jono_c210]

payed 1000 for it.. from a mate. just gotta get a bit of rust cut out and then rego. hopefully itll be on the road within a moth or so.

[SSS_Hoon]

well hello long time no see :lol:

i seen this beast in the flesh and as for the rust it aint that bad just the sills under the door well if there were a rear door that is and a bit in the boot rubber near the lock.

needs the window seals though.

i gotta say for a car made in 77 it has the lot, gotta love the stock boost guage even though it aint boosted :lol:

i would say a set of xtractors for sure and a decent zorst, and a bigger carby.

keep us updated Jono

Pure Clean. I like it

[Jono_c210]

Heres a few new pics from the last couple of days

one question i have.... Does ANYONE know where i could get the rubbers that go inbetween the front and rear window??? any help with that would be greatly appreciated.

New head unit. hidden away in the glovebox

Anyone know what this button does?^ it says 'REC'

Origional datsun floor mats?

L24 with factory power steering and a/c

[V8skylineMAN]

the switch is for RECirculate ( on the aircon)

ie fresh air in, or recirculate the air inside

[Jono_c210]

Thanks for that

its been bugging me for a while now. lol.

[racsov500]

[Jono_c210]

anyone got any idea where to get the rubbers between the windows??

anyone got any idea where to get the rubbers between the windows??

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I got a set 8 years ago from Nissan Australia and that was the last set in NSW but if you ask nicely maybe they still have set interstate?

I also managed to get some rare alloy wheel centre covers for another old Nissan a couple of years back which they managed to supply. You never know what they ahve in their warehouses. If not try Rare Spares (I think American Autoparts in Sydney are their agents now). Otherwise the wreckers yards or ebay.

Good luck
