    don't flame as i'm a newbie, but what is a Scarab?

    is it maybe the UAE? wouldn't Saudi Arabia behead you for doing that? don't they cut your limbs off for stealing bread and things like that in Saudi? that driver probably got the death penalty, then.

    or boldly stupid, to elaborate.

    i thought he'd let up after he did the U-turn but that was only the beginning. i can't believe he did that for that long. i saw a cop car pull up behind him at one point but i guess that didn't stop the 240k. amazing. very bold manoeuvres.

    haha thanks.i will sort that car out once i finally have it here :nervous:
  6. bonzelite replied to khughes's post in a topic in 240K Skyline
    yes, i've already bought triple Makunis for it. i was surprised at how well and smooth the car started and drove. and the underside appeared like a much younger car. was uncanny. only issue was a mild exterior ugliness. but there is more than meets the eye to that car.
  7. what are the time zone differences between Los Angeles and Australia?
  8. bonzelite replied to khughes's post in a topic in 240K Skyline
    not yet, Kent. but is still slated for my purchase. it should not be too much longer, however. it's been a summer of "cash slow." but soon that will become "flow." very close now... thanks for asking. when i do get it i will make a whole writeup thread on it. Brian has been very patient and polite with me so i want to commend him on that here.

    oh. somehow, then, i missed that part on the site. i must not have read that. yes, a replica will not go for big money compared to the real McCoy. even if it's done immaculately.

    yes i told the guy it was a 1974 "Skyline" with Datsun badging and he went "oh, yeah! a Skyline!" so i said "oh, so you know that car?" and he said "no." so i went inside and got a book and showed him a picture of it --and he had never seen it before. but he lit up to Skyline name. i think they're too old and too small in number to have penetrated most people's attention. like in the case of the 1600 that was mentioned earlier. the C110 is still a best-kept little secret. that has an appeal as well. you can about guarantee that nobody will have one when you show up in it.
  11. bonzelite replied to khughes's post in a topic in 240K Skyline
    i thought at C10 GT-R would go for much more than that asking price.
  12. bonzelite replied to 240K&Beyond's post in a topic in 240K Skyline
    neat car. very stealth. looks mean.
  13. bonzelite replied to khughes's post in a topic in 240K Skyline
    yes, their rarity is part of what makes them so cool. i guess they're not nearing extinction enough yet for people to pay just anything for them. but i got to thinking, because the 240K is already dwindling and has been for years, is it that lots of people simply never hear about it? i was talking to one of my import-tuner friends about general stuff and mentioned that i'd be getting a 240K. and he didn't understand what i said. and this person is into cars. instead of a vintage car that is hot in the market, the 240K, although fetching more year to year, seems like it may end up as a footnote in car history. a rarity that few knew of, and undervalued. any ideas?
  14. bonzelite replied to khughes's post in a topic in 240K Skyline
    i thought the C110 GT-R was only a 73 model. if it came out in 72 as a 73 model i don't remember.
  15. bonzelite replied to nixcars's post in a topic in 240K Skyline
    i'll be rooting for you.
  16. bonzelite replied to khughes's post in a topic in 240K Skyline
    i guess it's sale proof at this point. that may change soon enough as these get more scarce.
  17. bonzelite replied to nixcars's post in a topic in 240K Skyline
    i have a white 1:18 Kyosho die cast. looks freakin mint. they're on ebay with regularity.
  18. bonzelite replied to Mastadd240K's post in a topic in 240K Skyline
    that'd be excellent but i'm in California.
  19. bonzelite replied to khughes's post in a topic in 240K Skyline
    yes i don't like Veilside kits either. functional in a wind tunnel i hear but horrid on the eyes.
  20. nice but no way to ship to USA without breakage.
  21. bonzelite replied to khughes's post in a topic in 240K Skyline
    hahahahahaha that car yet again hahahaha
  22. bonzelite replied to Alfadog's post in a topic in 240K Skyline
    that's pretty awesome a find and then spectator event for us. i've never seen such a transaction happen, ie, sale of a rough C10 GT-R like that. i always see or hear of mint or near-mint condition ones. this barn find is just wonderful. it is correct about the KPGC10 and the flares: only came with rear black flares. fronts were left unaltered. however, KPGC110 (1973) has factory bolt-on flares front and rear.
  23. bonzelite replied to Alfadog's post in a topic in 240K Skyline
    it looks genuine to me, as if the whole thing has weathered equally. including the engine and engine bay. even if it's not a GT-R from birth, it's a hot ticket regardless. non GT-R C10s are selling at premium prices right now. and rising. and this one has the S20 intact. that alone is a holy grail find.
  24. bonzelite replied to Alfadog's post in a topic in 240K Skyline
    wow that is so cool. i've never seen a C10 GT-R rough like that! that would be cool to get that for a rainy day --or few years. it has the S20 just sitting right in there! what a treasure that car is.

    very sweet, brian. it's good to finally see her. that's a nice one.
