Looks brilliant. I'd take one of those over a K~~10 anyday, just for looks.

Good luck with regs and all. I hope they can appreciate it like we all can. Cheers.

I was hoping to talk to you in person at the show. The condition of your car was amazing.

I did take a few pics. Do you mind if I post them?

We missed each other again !! :lol:

There is always next show, I love the color of your car the pictures don't show it but it's very special shade of silver ! I don't mind it at all, I wanted to start a topic for it but I don't have any good pictures !!

How did you get this legal in Cali? Is it because it was already registered out of state?

Mine had already been imported when I bought it from a private collector. However vehicles 25 years and older usually dont have issues. Well anything (smog exempt) pre 75.

It’s funny everytime anyone asks what type of car it is and I tell them Skyline. They always ask how did you get it legal? The m0torex issue sure did leave an imprint in people’s minds that all skylines are Illegal.

You have the silver c110 on classic z right? Have some recent pictures you care to share?

So here's a little update of what been happening w/the car.

When the car arrived it ran ok but needed a good tune so I decided to take the car to Rebello's. He tuned the carbs on my c10 and I was pretty happy.

He did a full tune, adjusted the valves, adj the timing, cams, re curved my distributor and tunned the carbs. They also tuned the carbs w/some computerized machine which I thought was super cool. His son Brian said it was to get an accurate reading of the air/fuel mixture. Dave is a perfectionist so he spent almost the whole day getting the job done correctly. They both took some time to teach me how to correctly tune my carbs for the future. Few pictures I took that day.

While tuning my carbs Dave & his son realized there was a problem with one of the carbs. More about that later.

I bought some new tires for the car. Unfortunately as discussed in another thread. The tire options available for 14" wheels is super limited. Because I was pressed for time I ended up getting a set of Falken up front & BFG out back.

I took the c110 to wekfest in SF. Show was great, got tons of great feedback about the car. It was also funny the amount of people who came up to me & ask if my car was the "giveaway" car. Lol Here are a few pictures I found of that day. Oh & Drift86 saved the day again the day before the show. :tu:

Also I saw JdmPalace AMAZING car.

Last update

I spent this past weekend with Shin Yoshikawa at his home. As always he's very kind and gave me something he picked up on his recent trip to Japan. Ive been wanting one of these for the longest time.

oh and this catalog so I can get some parts for my c10.

Norcal510 · **Posted:** Sun Mar 06, 2011 11:28 pm

I'll hit you up on the magazine, and thanks for posting the pictures !!

So got some work done on the c10 after the hwy incident. After removing the pan I decided to pull the sway bar and replace the bushings since they were so shot.

This was the closest match they had at the speed shop I went to. I’ll have to trim the spacer a bit to make it work.

Since I will be doing some metal work I took the sway bar & the tray to get blasted.

Once I get some time Ill get the parts installed.

More updates soon. :tu:
