I saw this. Quite interesting and rare on these shores.

Makes me wish I had kept my 1972 Skyline 2000 GT I brought back to the US back in 1982. I had it street legal in the US with a Nevada title:stupid: We all make mistakes...some of them we should have shot ourselves over tho:angry:

[v12horse]

Whas it a GTR?

[Alfadog]

Imagine trying to source parts for THAT :stupid:

Ben, I thought these never came in GT-R form, the 2000 GT was the hottest version... correct me if im wrong

[v12horse]

I am pretty sure you are right Alfa as I have never seen one of these with an S20. I was asking dhoneycutt if his was a GTR.

I am a skyline newbie, so I don't know a whole lot about them. I am still trying to learn about the Z. Hehehehe.

Oh, I didn't notice he said 1972! Wow, that would be worth a mint if he still had it (GTR or not).....

Forget your Z dude. (no offense Z people )

Buy that and you'll have the start of the Skyline legend.

I'd love an S54, even a GT would be fantastic a GT-B would be mind blowingly cool. I met a guy who owned 2 of the 5 that made it to NZ. He sold them in 1989. His son still hasn't forgiven him, he used one, triple carbs and all as his daily driver .

If you've got the money I say go for it.

But, like Lachlan said, where would you find the parts?

[Z Kid]

You'd be surprised, basically all parts are available for them here in Australia if you are willing to pay, but pay you do, and they are repros, there is a resto shop here and his rule is if he can sell 20 units, he will make them, but boy does he charge, a tad over 50k is the going rate for him to restore your GTB, he has three in the workshop as I type.

Cheers Chris

Can you get late 70s 810 (200B) coupe parts there? Are there any other sources in Australia besides Rare Spares? I've dealt with them and they've been great but they don't have a couple of things I'm looking for.

[kyteler]

PM with what bits you're after and I'll see if I can find them in my few local wreckers in Invercargill in little ol' NZ Aus would have more Datsun parts on offer than NZ but I'm willing to give it a try for you.

Parts would be avialble, no doubt! My dad can get parts for 50+ yr old brittish m/bikes from Aust/NZ no probs!(NZ is cheaper even after freight!) And if these companies are putting out 200+ pages of parts(approx. 200 per page) for 50+ yr old m/bikes, a 30+ yr old Skyline wouldnt be too hard.

Cheer'z'
