KID-K

hey guys, as of last friday my car is on the road! Hope to drive it to the nationals......

nice find...good luck:beer:

hi...just got back....let me know if I can , maybe SHM17Y can pick them up from me.....

thought about it, but don't have enough chrome, trims or clips to finish it! (noticed it has no chrome on it what so ever)

Get off your arse and start sanding.......

r31 rear brake conversion on a standard 240k a-frame

some photo's of the r31 rear brake conversion, in this conversion I did weld up 3 unwanted holes and redrilled them in the new position.....but if really wanted you could still make them fit with a round file, and having one unused hole...if anyone is intrested I can post a drawing of the bracket or even supply a set of brackets.......

$550 on the dot, if you need a curcuit made for the tacho, I can provide you one, you will need a conversion done to your tacho. The standard oil pressure sender will bolt onto the rb25 block, so your oil pressure guage will work. The only problem is the temp guage, I used an standard alumiunium r33 radiator off ebay, welded an alumium bung to it and ran the standard aftermarket sender unit, I'm running all the standard dash guages except for the boost guage thats replaced the amp guage. Also a d21 speedo drive will make the speedo work as well. let me know how you go.........as far as the gtr taillights go, I've had 3 sets made but aren't really happy with them, we are currently working on a silcone cast.....I'll be posting photos of the r31 rear brake conversion using standard r31 brackets soon!!!!

I kinda cheated on the wiring.......pulled the 240k loom out, stripped the rb25det loom off the motor and mailed it to "QUICK FIT MOTORSPORTS" (02 9476 2877, ASK FOR STEVE). 3 Days later it came back as one. Plugged it in and turned the key, everything worked but the tacho (fixed now, that diagram is in my post).....very professionally done. Sorry I can't be of more help, I was going to give it a go, but they did everything I was worried about, rb25 alternator works, there's an out put on the cpu for the fuel pump and all look very neat, thanks........

new video coming..sorry

:stupid:

l28.....m83 block....p90 head...flat top pistions and triple webers

Thanks very much...haven't worked on it for a while, hate it when work gets in the way of playing.......Need to post some more pictures and specs of the 2.8 laurel motor with triple carbs that we are building...

slow news week ha!!!!

thanks...please let me know

yes thats correct, I'm pretty sure the boot is glued onto this bracket...

Hi guys, wondering if anyone can help, I'm after the steel bracket that holds up the gearboot,(the bracket that bolts to bottom of the console)... ....Also, (and I rather it went to a fellow K owner) I have a l-series TURBO rocker cover that came from japan. Not using it, went rb...cost me $140 landed, if anyone is intrested I can post a picture.....thanks:finger:

hey guys, check out the video of my dads "K" on youtube Also, right now i am the luckiest kid in the world because, i have a 240K too!!!

SORRY....:stupid:

Guys I'm happy to take orders of the parts I'm making, Just let me get them 100%. I'm making 6 sets of taillights at the moment and I will take them to get chromed all at once. Once I'm happy with the quality I will let everyone know.....Enough to go round. Gtr grilles are next on my to do list, then bonnets, would people be happy with glass bonnets or would you be intrested in carbon fibre.. Just a picture of the grille that turned up last week, excuse the front bar I was too lazy to bolt the reco one together. Would anyone be intrested if I make the front GTR badges or the interior 240k gt badges or the interior 2000 gt badges, I haven't got a rear GTR badge yet.......

Mould is completed and we're casting our first surround.......

Keep all the original guages....they can all be made to fit and work fairly easily..........pm me for more info, The K's dash is way to cool to fart around with!!!!

hi......short answer is no....the problem with strut is the spacing between holes that mount the caliper....from memory the 240k strut is 86mm where the r33 caliper in 100mm. datsports makes a conversion bracket for the caliper, but i'm not sure if I would use them. (just for the record I have bought heaps of stuff from Barry and love everything he has sent me). The other question you need to ask yourself if do you want to lower the front end. If you need to lower the front (Are you going to put on GTR flares?) then you should try this option: Z31 front struts.....they sit from memory about 50mm lower...the actual insert is shorter and you can get them as heavy duty, if you want you can run the standard vented rotas in 4 bolt or 5 bolt with the r33 calipers.....BUT.....you will have to do a coilover conversion, which is available from Barry......The caliper looks tuff with the NISSAN logo stamped into it. Theres photos of my Front strut conversion on operation 240k, the only difference is that I've used the R33 rota as well, the z31 hub which is originaly squareish needed to be machined round so that the R33 rota will slip over the top......good luck

dash pics......repainting the guage needles made all the difference
