My New Skyline

[hgc211 turbo]

this is my new skyline. its a 1981 hgc211 gt-ex. have fitted a close ratio dog box 5sp, rs legacy water to air intercooler and remove all the emission gear. it runs a locked diff. have taken it out to the track for a few drift days. went ok but needs decent clutch and fimer suspension. want ot upgrade to a l28et.

Not bad at all dude.

I've never seen one before though.

that i/c is interesting...easy to do?

some people here would kill for those tail lights

Interesting, a nice looking c211 you have there. Its obviously an import, i would hazard to guess that you have the only c211 gt-ex turbo in Australia. How much did it set you back? Have you tuned the motor aside from the intercooler?

[racsov500]

holy shit dont see to many of those here, cool engine too

dont crash it, please

did you bring it in or did you buy it off someone else who imported it?

pretty easy, had to make a adaptor plate for the new trottle body and had to moun i/c water pump and radiator. made a big difference but not enough, have taken all the emission gear off it .

[george.bryant]

wow, $200. it seems easy to get old skylines in nz for cheap that are worth thousands elsewhere

[Alfadog]

Wow, $200, truly a case of being in the right place at the right time!!

Hey mate, I'll buy it for $300.

I've been sort of considering using one of them on my DR, by big difference what do you mean? reckon it's worth it form a budgetry point of view?

Thanks.

well it made a difference buy being able to wind up the boost and to stop pinking, although it depends on where you set the timing to. mines about 23 degrees. i forgot to mention i had replaced the turbo with a r31 rb20det turbo and i have been running avgas in it to. im running about 13-15 psi boost.

[hgc211 turbo]

thats why i did it, i needed to get some more poke and didnt want to spend a cent, but i got sick of the intercooler pump noise pretty dam quickly. must be stuffed. probably not really worth it in the long run really. will be fitting a front mount intercooler soon dont want it tolook to wanky tho!!

[NeoLokie]

i'd rather have a little air/water I think. I've seen a price for one of those guys somewhere, but stuffed if I can remember where!

Going to have to look it up now.. shouldn't be too expensive surely!

[racsov500]

200 bucks! youd be lucky to get an aussie spec r31 for that much, let alone a fully modded c210 turbo! the hotplates alone are worth that!

[urbanoperations]

haha i used to have one of those in aus

l20et

[V-Spec]

that is f$%king phat :)

i <3 it
