After looking through some stuff, I really like the 240k's....is this the USAs B210? or is there just nothing equivalent over here in the States?

Older Nissan/Datsuns, even non Zeds are pretty good cars, imo. Good to see you guys doing some stuff to the pretty cool 240ks.

Not the B210, That's a sunny, powered by an A14. The closest thing we got in body style is the 610. But the 610 has a shorter wheel base and powered by an L18. If you stretched a 610, put a L24 under the bonnet, lost the giant bumpers, you'd be dam close to the 240k.

..........in other words there is no equivilent over here.

haha.... ya, but that is pretty close....

I'm just envious. Why didn't we get the larger Nissan coupes, sedans of the era? Here's the plan....

Import a 240K 2 door or C110 varient.

Buy a 610

Install the dash, pedal box, steering column, steering rack from the 610 into the C110, American Skyline?

haha.... ya, but that is pretty close....

Oh ya, altering the wheelbase is a minor change and simple task. :stupid: Shoehorning an L24 into a 610 would be easy in comparison

Victor: I wish we had gotten those models also.

^^see! you see what i'm saying.......

The 610 (replacement for the legendary 510, aka 180B in Australia) is pretty different to the C110 (240K) really. They look similar but put them side-by-side and you can see the C110 is a much bigger car.

Though, it's closer to the C110 than the infamous B210 (120Y)!!

Does anybody know if the 710 was ever brought to the States? They seem bigger than a 610 in pictures.

Hey don't be knocking the Bx10 lineage now champ!

Don't forget about the 810. It's as close to the 240K as we ever got here. It like a strecthed 200B with an L24E under the hood. It's my daily driver and one other member here also has one that I know of. Yes, we did also get the 710 here in the U.S.

The 810 over here in oz is a 200B.

Here's one we found crashed out bush recently. Ended up pulling the L20B and a few other bits out of it.
