well I got the GTR grille for 2,000 YEN which is roughly AU$30 the Skyline badge for 1,000 Yen ($15) the spoiler cost 7,000 YEN ($77) + local and int'l shipping cost I remembered I paid US$310 for everything excluding int'l shipping cost for the grille well shipping the grille from Japan to Australia is expensive I got a quote fro US$270- $350 just for the grille

oh I forgot the outer Skylines badges are off C210

I've been waiting for these badges to arrive from japan, took like 2 months! I still have a GTR grille left cos too expensive to send it down so I'll just pick it up when I go there this month.

I got Bball jersey made up And got my badges and spoiler as well I think the centre badge is for Skyline C10

oh ok... i said that because few months ago I bought a "Skyline" badge not "SKYLINE" badge from a C210 owner which was on his C210 skyline and i just offered him $20 for the two badge. heres the pic of the badge off Skyline C210 Lucky ME then!!!

you dont need a credit card to bid in ebay... theres other ways of paying the seller

isnt the "Skyline" badge from C210 similar to the 240K ones?

hey alfadog do you have the front pic of that car? that looks great! i like it a lot

thanks for the tip, I'll do that I'll also visit Autbacs thats like autobarn here but MUCH better I think they also have Autobacs 2nd hand shop everywhere.

I dont think I'll be bringing engines with me just the hard to get parts

even if its 2nd hand parts do you still have to pay tax?

Hey finally I'm going to Japan mid November this month cant wait just gathering information of places to see and parts to buy

would like a copy as well if you dont mind rob@labelpower.com.au Cheers!

the engine number starts with J16 / R16 or something 16 the 250 Bluebird 312 is already sold same people selling the ute

I dont know much about them but I think its a good buy anyway also its a tray back ute

Datsun Bluebird ute, 1963, unfinished project, driveable, paint supplied -$750 Park Ridge 3200 1630 or (0421) 246 967 this ad is from www.personaltradingpost.com.au QLD I went and had a look at the ute and I was tempted to buy it, just need to fix the left front guard, its a bit dented. Or you can put a guard off the sedan cos it comes with 2 guards from the sedan model. paint is orange, the body has only few surface rust, interior looks good but the seats need retrimming. Engine seems pretty good, according to the guy the engine was rebuilt and 1600??? not sure about this I thought they came out with 1200

can I take the ignition lock to ANY locksmith? or does it have to be car specialist locksmith?

I tried swapping the ignition barrel this afternoon but no luck MQ Patrol / 120Y Ignition Lock doesnt fit the 240K steering column the diametre is smaller but the same plug connectors So might take the lock to a locksmith to rekey

Hi Tom! Welcome to the forum i agree the 240K section is getting a bit quiet theres another forum with small section for "Classic Skylines", its in Skylinesaustralia.com

I'm pretty sure that tyre/mags company will have them post some pics

if thats somewhere closer to brisbane I'd buy that straight away

I forgot all about the ignition barrel that I bought from Ebay, so I tried that yesterday to see if similar size from the right side/outside it looks similar wiring loom/plug is the same so tried connecting it and starts now I just hope it fits on the steering wheel shaft? the ignition lock was brand spanking new listed for MQ Patrol or 120Y Part No.: 48700-H5010

Im not really concern about the glove box lock as I dont even lock it or it is fairly easy to open anyway. thanks for the reminder

I might do that but still prefer to replace the old one with new ignition lock cos it seems from the outside the lock itself is a little bit worn out is it expensive to get someone to cut new key on site or is it wiser if I take the ignition off the car? so do I have to drill it out?

It was difficult to turn the key before now the key wont even turn! so my car is stuck outside my house, I was just going to drive it inside the garage and my key wont turn the ignition lock anymore. Anyone know if Nissan still sell 240K ignition lock/key? or if someone knows a compatible one? is it easy to swap the ignition barrel? I heard there's like a security screws that breaks the head when you 1st install the ignition barrel so you cant take it off (only way is to drill them out) is this true with the 240Ks? Cheers
