240k Style

That shouldnt be too hard to find a 5 spd

i've got a few of the finned drums sets lying around if youd like to go that way

Where's the you tube video of it running well???

Drum internal looks the goods man

Hey Top man welcome. Wish I had all the GTR parts that came with yours. Slowly collecting. Glad you found one locally instead of importing one and it's number 280 as well. You're well in front of meats looks like you'll be done beforehand sadly. Looking forward to more progress

Just placed a wanted ad like you did. Fingers crossed LOL

Be still my heart!! It's amazing. I'd kill to own one as clean as this

Don't hate me bro I made a gumtree wanted ad for a sedan and used your photo. The reason why it because I'd have to say your sedan is one of the cleanest I've ever seen. I'd love to own one just like yours one day. Yes I have a coupe but since it'll be a GTR rep I'd love a clean stock original sedan as a cruiser

What the f$&k!!!! That's awesome!!!

Seems that until recently complete coupes were going in the 5-6000 AUD range and upwards. Even cars pulled out of fields fetch $1500

I'm in if the group buy goes ahead mate

Hey Kid-K you still able to do front grill (GTR Style) and the GTR style tail light surrounds in chrome??? Didn't realise you could otherwise i would have hit you up for some at Classic Japan

Bump!!! is this still available and do people want in?

You're engine number is located on the left hand side of the block just below where the head bolts on......should match the number on the Datsun plate you linked earlier. L24-1545?? something something hahaha

progress??

Was wondering what has been happening to yours mate. Nice find of the engine parts. I'm still hunting an l28

In a moment of boredom my dad and I said, "stuff it bet we can get the coupe running!" Now the car hasn't been run in the nearly 10 years or so the previous owner had it, so I had my doubts. There were masses of custom crap wiring everywhere, dust and debris, not to mention half a mud hornet nest on the block. So we started by a general tidy up and cut out the crap wiring. Then off came the air filter and checked out what we had. The manifold was held on by only 2 bolts! The exhaust header was in the boot and all the fuel and vac lines had been cut!!! Pretty wizz poor effort that. Borrowing from Wile E Coyote's school of acme engineering we adapted what we could. This wasn't meant to be long term (I'll pull the engine for a full rebuild) but was just a case of can we do it? Headers went on, now 5 bolts holding it all on. Had to make a fuel line from the pump to carb using the return line. Made an ignition switch from the coil to the battery out of the junk wiring we removed. Made another wire to the starter to jump start that. And borrowed a zed alternator adjustment bracket and put that in instead of the lump of wood holding the belt tension. Couple more little things and we're ready.....now where's that battery?? Didn't come with one, perhaps tomorrow then. Today we had another go, with battery this time, so we hooked it all up. Pulled the plugs to turn her over on the starter to move the oil around (it was still full). Also checked spark which we definitely had (got zapped, again :roll: ) All seemed good, quick final check. Rigged up a tin can as a fuel tank (tank is out) and this is the result! 240k hardtop first turnover - YouTube Helps when you connect a ignition switch to actually flick it on :oops: Round 2 240k hardtop It's Alive!!! - YouTube All seemed good so far. We've come this far, why not get her really going. In order to do that needed to fill the radiator.. So we pushed her outside since I didn't want to pull the bottom rad hose inside the garage. Dropped the bottom hose, which still had rusty water, and flushed it out a bit before reconnecting. The battery we were using wasn't that healthy so we had to use the black wagon to jump it but here goes 240k hardtop outside - YouTube Now needed another hand so I had to put the phone down this time. 240k hardtop running - YouTube Sorry for the crap video..... Now it's only running headers, with air leaks literally everywhere....but she runs!! Got warm and the thermostat even opened before the tin can emptied. So not a bad exercise in acme engineering. Got to thank my dad for the assist on this. His old datsun racing trickery coming to the fore on this That's probably all for this year with the holidays about to kick off. Hope to get some minor bodywork done early on next year and finish my bumper assemblies off. Merry Christmas and stay safe on the holidays!

Thanks for the support :wink: I was at work the during the week and checked Facebook and saw an ad from a mate selling some 240K seats...... Now mine are...a little unhealthy So I snapped them up. Only about 1000% better! There is some stitching that needs doing but overall they're great, especially compared to what I had! My son gave them the tick of approval after a brief clean Also scored another drivers side guard, as mine was pretty much flat And some finned drum brakes Overall pretty happy, and very unexpected to find those seats. I was not looking forward to paying huge chunks of cash to get them fixed. So a great result Also Merry Christmas everyone from sunny Australia

All interchangeable I'm led to believe

Bought a spare dashboard.. It's special. Those of you in the US would like this one It's an rare early dash. It has MPH on the inner ring of the speedo

very cool. Thanks guys

Yeah still remember you dealing with your first car when you went quiet and dropped this second one on us!!! Shes well on her way to being a beautiful car

I didnt think it was removed. I thought the auction ended and it went for $8000

Anyone got photos showing the kph and Mph???

Same I've also bought from Flauski and it was extremely quick given it was international!!
