Nissan Skyline KGC210 First and only in Canada BUild thread

[Sukh]

Hi All,

Forgive the cut and pasta nature of this thread. I copied it over from GTR Canada. I'll be updated both threads from now on.

thought i'd share my build on the forums.

Story behind the car, I was originally looking for an R32 when this beauty caught my eye at the auctions. Put up a bid and got it imported.

The car is a 1980 C210 with about 150,000 k on the clock. interesting car because its 2.0L turbo engine was the first turbo motor to come out of japan by any manufacturer. Also it was the first skyline not to carry the GTR name until the r32 came along. But i didn't but it for that I just thought it looked a great mix of the c10 and c110 mixed up into one.


The car:















When she came into Canada



Engine is sound, electrical could do with some work tho as expected.



Cleaning out the car and realized it needed new carpets and some trim repair. So i thought F it, just strip the damn thing and build it right the first time instead of doing things gradually. So i started to gut her last night.

Funny what you find in a car this age, plus I'm glad i did it. found that the seats were missing bolts to hold them down.


hmmmm interesting rear seat belts, bolted from both ends with no buckles, sneaky mofos!





I'm gonna continue stripping it down till its just the drivers seat and steering wheel left.

gonna get new carpets and re do the interior trim in suede



Picked up rear Skyline R32 seats and they fit!!! little bit of modding to look perfect but brings up the interior to the modern age a little.



Trying to figure out a way to make the ride a lot smoother than it is and found out a few guys had done S13 Coilover conversions. There was not a lot of info out there on the swap but it was possible with some custom work done to the control arms etc.

So i got the car stripped and ready to send off to Brinkworth Customs in Langley (www.bcautosalon.com) they used to have their shop in Richmond. I met these guys at the DTP show in Vancouver. Some of his work that he done before

[Sukh]

These guys have got some great skills, thats why I chose them with such a unique job of fitting the coilovers and taking car of any rust issues.







I ordered a set of Apexi S1 coilovers and bought a set of s13 spindles, hubs and cailpers to upgrade the handling and change the rears from drums to discs.



CAr at Brinkworth Customs in Langley.


Pulled the old shocks and springs out and OMG. only 3 coils from the cut springs f-ing ridiculous lol




Bill from Brinkworth also taking car of the minor rust

[Sukh]

While the car is in the shop I got started on the interior trim.

First up dash guages facelift.

I decided to use the new 3M 1080 Carbon this is different from their old line the Di-noc. This look more like wet carbon and look crazy close to the real thing. Job time about 2.5 hours, i think it looks pimp brings it from the 1980s to Y2K

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

[Sukh]

Love the stance and stretched rubber.



Update on the body work. Trunk lip was remade in bondo in certain spots where the rust had eaten it away.



Brinkworth got to work and cut away existing rust and made new sheet metal where necessary.



Trunk before hand surface rust everywhere



Got rid of the rust and coated



Interior before



Interior after









Wheel arches coated in the same coating too




To fit the coil overs to the rear we'll have to make adapters. Brinkworth fabbing some up.



Old rear set out.



New ones in and Drums refreshed. Looking pimp!!!

[Sukh]

Like i mentioned before the fronts are way more complicated to fit. we had basically two options, butcher the front coilovers and weld them in. Didn't really feel like potentially brand new $2000 coilovers lol so we went with option 2. Getting s13 control arms and spindles and modding them to fit.

We had to extend the s13 control arms and make them a bit of conbination of c210 and s13 control arms to make them fit.







Painted up and ready to go in





Had to fab some bushings as we couldn't find c210 bushings. Brinkworth found out that 80's VW Golf bushing fit with a little bit of tapering.

Fronts all in and looking good,



He even found cavalier sway bar bushings that will be a good replacement for the skyline ones! genius!

[Sukh]

I went to go check on the car in person at Brinkworth Customs, here's the updated pics.


I was very impressed with the interior. couldn't ask for more here



bolt pattern conversion caps for the rear coilovers machined up and looking sweet!!!





Custom made braided brake lines



Rear end pretty much complete, now just need to slip in the coilover and all done!



Only thing left for the front is the steering linkages need to be extended then the front is done!


Shortened some universal sway bar bushing and they are a perfect fit


Wheel well had some serious rust before now it looks like new!!

[Sukh]

The car is almost there. Dash is now wrapped in leather and back in. Carpets are going in and so are the seats.

Seats were all recovered in leather suede.

update more soon.
