Yes, a fair bit off work, but this is my hobby, slow and steady win the race, unless you have lots of money and pays someone else to do it.. I found a smallish business that has a laser cutter, and his rates are very good, the adaptor for the 36 tooth wheel was $10, I had my brother spin it in his lathe, and the bracket was $5. I enjoy doing it myself, so when someone says "who did you get to do that" I can say "I did it myself". and now the weathers getting nicer, I'll be able to finish my other projects, I'm looking forward to getting Megasquirt running, and then do my turbo install.. as for a technical write up, I have lots of pictures Nigel

Hi, I've been busy beavering away to get the 36 tooth wheel onto my harmonic balancer this will be used with Megasquirt II that I have built (yet to install in my car) more pictures here http://noddle.110mb.com/EDIS/index.html Nigel

Yeah, I know it's not a 240K, but it may be someone cheap upgrade to fuel injection http://cgi.ebay.com.au/MR30-Skyline-R30-Fastback_W0QQitemZ290256216361QQihZ019QQcategoryZ35227QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Nigel

When mine was done, they use some special black stuff on a spong, and put this on the windows (about 1 cm wide) around the outside, and on the the area on the car where it was going to seal too, I believe this makes it stick better Nigel

when I had mine done, they used "black gooey stuff in a silastic gun" (technical term ) to seal the windshield. no "rubber seal" like the early Holdens / Fords. Nigel

I didn't realise that the front window (on the coupe) was different to the 4 door I knew the rear one was. Nigel

Hi, My '73 and '75 , never had tinted windshields, the replacement I got for my '75 has a blue tint in it Nigel

If this guy gets 6K for his 240K, I might think about selling mine http://cgi.ebay.com.au/DATSUN-NISSAN-240K-GL-SEDAN-YELLOW-24-V6-2-4L-ENGINE_W0QQitemZ270260057654QQihZ017QQcategoryZ35227QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Nigel

Have you looked at trying to fix it, i.e. put it in a lathe, take some metal out then Bush / Sleeve it ? Nigel

True, I remember when I was 14 or so, my brother and his 2 mates each had 240K's, a blue 4 door, my brothers green 4 door, and a silver 2 door (which a telegraph pole took out). And they used to get a thrashing, Nigel

Nice, I would be to scared to that to my 240K, one mistake and a tree or a ditch would take you out.. Nigel

Hi, I came a across this whilst doing some googling, I though some might find it interesting http://www.restored.jp/nissan.htm Nigel

If you have watched "The Castle", then you know what I mean. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/DATSUN-240K-MANUAL-alloys-exhust-rare-old-skyline_W0QQitemZ130234980936QQihZ003QQcategoryZ35227QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Nigel

The el-cheap o sand blasting kit I used worked pretty good, but I did use a "half decent" compressor though, I suppose it come down to how much work you have to do, for me it was small panel work, corners in the doors, guards, around the window seal area etc.. I didn't strip the whole car. Nigel

Hi, Have you looked into one of those cheap "super cheap" sand blasting kits, if you have a compressor, these work good on the rust, the only problem is sand goes every. also I use this stuff, converts rust back to metal, I haven't seen the POR stuff. 15k to get the body done, you could almost buy 1/2 a new car for that.. Nigel

found this on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com.au/1974-Datsun-Skyline-240K-GT-coupe_W0QQitemZ160254692063QQihZ006QQcategoryZ35227QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Nigel

I found this on ebay, pity I don't have a coupe yet, and that the guy will not post it (to fragile I suppose) http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Aunger-Rear-Louvre-to-suit-Datsun-240K-Coupe_W0QQitemZ220250209266QQihZ012QQcategoryZ29695QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Nigel

I maybe look looking at the same .pdf as you, but it show part number SX4221 is also used on 1971-1974 Dasun 240C - H230 Series this is where I got the pdf from http://www.oem-products.com/ maybe send them a email sales@roadsafe.com.au Nigel

Hi, It reminds me of the "two-stroke diesel", I have seen one off these running in a front end loader, heres a link http://auto.howstuffworks.com/diesel-two-stroke1.htm Nigel

Hi, It doesn't look like anyone on the 240K forum can help you, maybe you could ask in the 240Z section ? Nigel

I saw this on ebay, to me it looks like a C210 body style, but I'm no expert http://cgi.ebay.com.au/nissan-datsun-240k-2000GTEX-skyline-turbo-VERY-RARE_W0QQitemZ260248493164QQihZ016QQcategoryZ35227QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Nigel

I going to use some MR30 rear calipers, I have them from my wrecked MR30, I should think they will be better than the drums. Nigel

Hi, I just brought a 60mm throttle body of a KA24e, these can be found on 2.4 liter Pintara T and Ti models, or in my case a Ford Corsair 2.4 Ghia (89-92), they are re-badged Nissan Pintaras, they have the same bolt pattern, but you would need something in between, to cover the bulge in the intake manifold. see pictures Nigel

Hi, and welcome It took me a long time to find this site as well, there is a "classic skyline" site here http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Classic-Skylines-f77.html my projects are coming along slowly, most of my pictures are here, if you want a look http://noddle.110mb.com/ Nigel
