KEN & MARY GT-R-KPGC110 replica
Haha you guys crack me up. Do I look like a charity? I still lost a little money on the car so by no means did I make any profit.. but it was nice to maximise my returns.. You’d have done the same thing, it’s easy to sit back and say that you wouldn’t have done the same thing if you were in my shoes… What a joke you guys are! They were the most serious buyers (bar one other guy who was actually a good genuine bloke) but apart from that they gave me a hassle free sale.. why would I go through time wasters and headaches from what you define as “enthusiasts” when I had a no drama sale from some guys who were actually pretty decent!? Your responses defy logic... if either of you were to sell your car right now, would you sell it for peanuts or lose a heap of money but be ok with it because it's going to an enthusiast (more like opportunist who will make a profit on it later) or would you maximise the money and try to recoup most of your $? Honestly, I don't know what you guys do for work, but if it's business related, I don't know how youre still in business...

Another 240K on eBay ( Coupe )
Thanks Duane, I too hope we both land ourself's jobs but unfortunately, the car was sold this morning. On the flip side, you will be relieved to know that it will be staying a 240K and not copping the "GTR" treatment.

The car is sold for close to the asking price; it’s gone to a new owner who I know will do this car the justice it deserves! For the purists wondering what his plans will be: Full bare metal restoration JDM fender mirrors JDM grill JDM steering wheel L28 and manual box with LSD diff. And that is it, so everyone will be happy to know that the body will not be going into surgery for the GTR treatment. On another note, he didn’t take the gearbox, so I have a manual g/box with all ancillary parts and I’m asking $550 not negotiable and i'm not separating the parts, I’m located in Sydney. If you’re serious then PM me, I don’t want stories about how I’m asking too much or that your cousins dogs sister knows a guy who can get it cheaper!

Fair point and I can see how some may jump to conclusions. Not that I should have to justify my pricing rationale but for the sake of people on this forum, I will break down the costs: Purchase of the vehicle $5900 Blue slip, green slip and rego ($1000) (it also needed new bushes which I bought from Nissan at $104.56 plus the labour cost to fit them in order to attain a road worthy cert in QLD and pass rego in NSW) Transport from QLD for the car $990 Flights to QLD $300 G/BOX and ancillary parts $900 (I bought it interstate so this is including the freight cost via DHL) IMMACULATE Chrome trims from eBay $250 (plus Import monsters 2,500yen standard fee then 20% on top and postage charges from Japan) A spare hubcap I bought on Yahoo JP for $150 (plus Import monsters 2,500yen standard fee then 20% on top and postage charges from Japan) NOS G/Knob $130 (plus Import monsters 2,500yen standard fee then 20% on top and postage charges from Japan) So far that’s $9,620 excluding the costs of bushes+labour and excluding Import monster fees and postage on the parts and some of the other extras I bought including another carb. I put $11,500 as I have left room for negotiation. If it doesn’t sell for what it owes me then I’ll hang onto it and sell my daily driver. I know i'll regret selling this as I have spent a while looking for one, but I have to put my priorities straight... tough job market at the moment and realistically, I am not sure how long it will be before I can find another..

Unfortunately with much regret due to a recent job loss, upcoming lack of income and ongoing bills, I have to put my 1973 Datsun 240K up for sale. I am a very meticulous person and this is a good honest original car. The original QLD owner, who is now 91, bought the car brand new in 1973 from Nissan and has done a fantastic job keeping it in on the road but like anything that’s old and tired, it needs restoration (paint work and mechanical). To my knowledge the car has never had an accident and no rust that I can see. It’s not museum quality but it is a great example of a well maintained 240k with a genuine history and I believe that it is the perfect starting point for a concourse restoration. I have only owned the car since May 2012 so essentially it still is a one owner car and while I’m not looking to make a profit on it, I am looking to get my money back and ideally I’d like the car to go to an enthusiast who will bring it back to its former glory. What else comes with the car? - New Old Stock Nissan KPGC110 Skyline gear knob (bought from Japan); - Complete 5 speed manual conversion (pretty much everything you need to convert the car from automatic to manual) - Very good condition chrome trim moulds front and back (bought from Japan) - Original point of sale brochure, original owner’s manual and genuine Nissan workshop book - I have a heap of other parts that will be thrown in with the sale of the car. PLEASE DON’T MAKE ANY SILLY OFFERS, I will only respond to genuine enquiries and if you’re looking at this car then you know what they’re worth and how hard they are to come by.

Thanks guys.. When I get around to doing the brakes, you will be receiving some pms :stupid::laugh: I saw these Nismo brakes and thought they might be a worthwhile upgrade if I can get them for decent money? http://page18.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w75317560#enlargeimg So I have been getting used to Yahoo Japan Auctions over the long weekend and I must say it's pretty addictive even though I haven't bought anything yet, I will be over the next couple of months. Makes you realise how you could go bankrupt buying stuff for these cars.

How to repurpose car parts laying around..
WOW that's a massive compliment.. thank you very much.. it's funny that you mention Picasso, the robust bull head design of this wall lamp pays respect to two of my favourite artists: The first being Marcel Duchamp who used commercially made cult objects and, with little or no modification, displayed them under his name as works of art. The second being Pablo Picasso and his "Bull's Head" sculpture which was made from a rearranged bicycle saddle and handlebars. I was inspired to create my own version with the addition of lights after a recent visit to the Picasso exhibition, which was held at the Art Gallery of NSW. It’s always been my philosophy that good design should evoke emotion and encourage imagination. I couldn’t help but be drawn in by the artwork as I relived the adventures of riding my bike as a child. If I make anything more, I’ll be sure to share it with you all. I doubt that will happen with the focus being on building my car Cheers.. Although, I do have a photo that may be of interest to some of you..

240K GT parts
No worries.. I managed to track down a manual box (getting very hard to find..) as for carbies, I appreciate the offer but I am probably going down the triple webber carby route.

KEN & MARY GT-R-KPGC110 replica
A small update: It took me A LOT of searching around but I ended up tracking down a 5 speed gearbox, tail shaft, flywheel, slave cylinder and all the other ancillary parts needed for my auto to manual conversion. All I need now is a manual pedal box… I’ve read that I can use my existing auto with a few mods but ideally I’d prefer an original item. I figured this was going to be the hardest thing to track down; so I made it my priority. Also can anyone make suggestions as to some relatively good and easy brake upgrades for the 240?

Sorry for the lagged responses guys..I am in NSW, Sydney to be exact.. Thanks for the link blk180. I have been trying to hunt around for panel beaters/painters who'd be willing to take on the job.. there don't seem to be many who want to do a propper job. I appreciate the link to the steering wheel,this might sound really illiterate but i'm not having much luck translating via google translator or babblefish.
