Skyline against the skyline


kyteler

Had to stop for a while before we tackled some particularly nasty hills before Dunedin enroute to Invercargill (in New Zealand) took the opportunity to take a photo of the Skyline against the skyline. For those of you who don't know, Dunedin is actually the home of the steepest hill in the world, or at least, used to be, not sure whether it still is, so it's very important to rest the brakes on the car, even if the trailer has brakes as well.

Seems that the old skylines are getting a bit of a following these days makes me feel I'm missing out :).

So what are the plans?

Well, at the moment the plans are to get it WoF'd and Reg'd and Insured then on the road, after that, the plans involve saving a bit more money and buying the parts from the guy I bought it off to convert it to a 5spd manual, should be lethal on completion, which will involve the following: triple solex carbs, headers, 5spd from L28T DR30 and probably a 2.8 in instead of the 2.4 but we'll see. It's only got 89000K on it, so there's life in the old motor yet. :D

Nice pics you got there, esp the C110, look good don't they? Had a couple myself but alas, lack of time and money prevailed:(

You mentioned fitting a DR30 5 speed, keep an eye out on g'box length, I believe they are shorter than a C110 box (bear in mind a C110 auto and manual are the same length, straight swap). And fit a 2.8 with flat top pistons or use the the 2.4 con-rods to increase comp ratio, 30/70 cam with the triple carbs, believe me it will fly. Next time you find yourself checking out an R30 Skyline, take the Elec dizzy & coil, this will further improve your engine.

Very cheap mods will make your C110 a very quick car, but when fitting the triples make sure the you've got good comp ratio as mentioned and the 2.8 engine, when all bolted up and taken out for the drive, you will notice the change, big time!

All the best....
