2400GT

In Portugal we have another 2400Gt, that belongs to a member ( like me ) of the Friends of Japonese Oldtimer Vintage Cars, here's the tread were the car shows up. http://www.amigosjaponesesantigos.pt/forum/index.php?topic=5246.0 The car is black, it has a little rust and the interior is a bit tatty.... But it's still alive and kikking :rambo: So here in Portugal we have 2 C-10 LHD 2400Gt Skylines Regards Jorge

And still another surprise :

Hello. It was for the European Market. The word on the Net is that there were a total of less than 50 units, between 2000Gt and 2400Gt ever shipped to Europe. Your manual is from one of those units I guess.... I don't know anyone who has a 2000Gt in Europe right now, only the 2400Gt. I will post the manual friday, because right now I'am out of home on a business trip. Regards Jorge

Hello. Yes, I've forgotten that The car has the owners handbook. If there's interest on the members, I can scan it and post it on the forum. Just let me know. The manual is in English, so everyone can use it. Regards Jorge

and more..... That's my Son next to the car

More detailed photos of the car :

Hello and Thanks for the Welcome The car is completly original. This steering wheel is a "DeMoura" St.Wheel, and it was ( At least here in Portugal ) a very desirable original part for any Datsun at the beggining of the70's. It was sold by the Nissan Dealers here as a Sport Pack addition for the cars, that also included other "competition" parts... Some customers that didn't like the thin wood Datsun wheel could put this one on the car on request, since it's a little smaller and has a leather grip ( Kinda looks like the Alpina Steering Wheel for the BMW's ) I have one also on my Datsun 510 1600SSS. Of course this was a very expensive wheel at that time. Because my car belonged to the Administrator of the Nissan Dealer in Madeira Island, it has also all the factory extras possible for the model, like the rear heated glass, the radio, the back head rests, the rear seat belts, the "DeMoura" Steering Wheel, etc..... To make this car drivable again I only had to make a good service on it and a good cleaning inside and outside, polish the paint and that's it - nothing more was needed I plan to add later some Watanabe Wheels to it and nothing more - I want to keep him as much original as possible, since it's a very rare model. I'am pretty sure the car has less than 7.000 km's, because : The last MOT he made before the one he made a few weeks ago, was in August 2000 and it only had 5.200 km's at the time... The History of this car is fully documented by the previous owner, since the car was always in the same family for all these years - The Nissan Administrator that owned the car in the 70's was the father of the guy that sold the car to me...in fact the father is still alive and in good health ! But the car itself shows that he was only used ocasionaly all these years, take a look at the photos : The front disk brakes have little to no wear. The inside of the front fenders speak for them self.... The Steering Wheel leather has no wear. The Interior of the car and seats look almost Brand New. The brake pedal and clutch pedal have almost no wear. The wheel hubcaps are almost brand new, no traces of wear at all - The inside still displays the manufacturer brand - IKI. The turn side lights look new.... Here are the photos, I will send more in the next tread. Regards Jorge

And more photos These were taken on the day the car left Madeira Island on the way to Portugal by Ferry Boat, no work was done on the car, so has you can see the car was dirty but in Great Shape Jorge

Hello. I did not restored it, there was no need for that The car was found in excelente condition, everything works 100% ! The car is REALLY almost NEW, and now after the test drives I've made on it ir marks 6.850 Km's on the odometer. I will post some detail photos that show the millage of the car is correct on another tread. The paint is still 90% Ok, with only the engine bay in need of a re-spray, because the previous owner left the engine hood open for about 10 years, so dust in conjunction with motor oil stained the paint :mad: The guy was a bit sloppy with the car, I will post some photos of with as I found it on his garage...The interior and engine bay was all covered with dust, the trunk compartiment was filled with toys from his kids...... Luckly nothing happend to the seats and dashboard that are in mint condition. All I did was a good klean on car throughly inside and outside, machine polish the paint with AutoGlym High Resin Polish Wax and I did a good mechanical service on it : New spark plugs and wires, new condenser and battery, 5 lts of Castrol GTX 15w50 and Wynn's Gold protective aditive, new DOT4 Brake fluid, complete brake and cluth overhault, complete drain on the cooling system and some more things I don't remember now. Here's some photos of the car as I found it, and on the way to be shipped outside Madeira Island to Portugal by boat. Regards Jorge

This car was discovered about a month ago, in Funchal ( Madeira Island ), it was inside a garage stopped for more than a decade.... The car was a service car, from the local 70's Nissan Representative there, and was only used in very few ocasions and then left to rest in the garage...So it only has..about 6.500 km's on the odometer ! :lick: After the buy, I've fully serviced the car and now it's on the streets again !! I will post some photos of this rare find on this tread !! I also have another Classic Japonese car, it's a Datsun 510 1600SSS from 1971 and I also have 3 other Vintage Classic Cars from Germany.
