Thanks for the comments guys much appreciated!

Have you considered swapping in a rb20 or l28et for some extra torque ?

Thats on my list for next, this year concentrating on body, interior and handling. cant decide between L28 or RB20. maybe even RB26 and make it the GTR it never could be lol

Wow! Damn clean! Can't wait to see what you do to that interior, it'll look great. If you register the car as a classic, I don't think you need to worry about DOT items.

TELL ME MORE!! if anyone knows more info on this or good shops to get the VI done please chime in.

cannot wait to see this on the road! way to represent vancouver!

Thanks, Vancouver is way under-represented imo. once this babys done she'll be making trips south of the border to represent.

Awesome and stunning car! Is this the first of its kind in Canada? I never seen or heard of one yet. Very nice classic piece of Japanese work. Interesting to know this was the first Engine to be turbo'd as well! Did not know that.

Lovely car.

Yes i think it is the first in Canada. I heard second hand that there may be 2 rust buckets in the states but no confirmation of that. So i think its 1 of 1 on the continent. until someone proves me wrong lol

Clean car. I like it! Where'd you get that 3M Carbon fiber wrap? I wouldn't mind picking some up.

Ebay!, just search for 3M 1080 carbon for the wet look kind. if you want dry look 3M di-noc is what you want

Typically if a car is over 25 years you can register and insure it as a classic vehicle. It pretty much limits your driving to events and occasional driving. Inspection requirements are totally different. You'll have to check the provincial laws in b.c. To confirm tho.

Pictures of the car at Brinkworth Customs






Picked up a owners manual and service manual in English from Austrailia. these cars were sold out there under tha datsun name


Picked up some s13 spindles and calipers gonna try and make them fit the front. Before






After







I was blown away at how new these look after the refurb.

Old junk is out


Test fitment on the new



Front coilovers will take a bit of work installing. We have to extend the control arms of the s13 and will have to figure out something with the steering rod too.

Rears is a straight fit just need to make an adapter for the top becuase the skyline is a 3 bolt at the rear and 13 coilovers are a 2 bolt.






All rust issues will be taken care of then Rhino coated over the top for insurance for the future.


Rust Removal has already been done on inside and coated. Bee Quite sound deadening material is being used for all the interior.



Dash is going to get sent to ASC to get wrapped with leather. bubble and cracks need to be taken care of.








Going to paint the interior myself. Gonna change it from gray to black, using SEM products apparently the best stuff to use in the bizz. Some of the paints are like $50 a bottle!!!!!!


Going to tackle the door sills first.


more updates to come soon

Nah bud, that's a thread I created on JNC, see the name is the same. I'm pretty darn sure I'm the first to import a C210 into the continent.
