Oops, forgot the picture. BTW, welcome to the club!!!

I don't know too much about engine conversions, but if I were to do one I'd be looking at the RB25DET or SR20DET - depending on what characteristics you want from the engine... As for fender flares, I'd guess the C110 flares could fit if you modified them a bit... the C210 never came in GT-R form so you won't get any "GT-R flares". But I've seen a few pictures of C210's (in 2 and 4 door form) with flares, so I suspect that in Japan you can source flares that fit (see attached picture). Might be expensive by the time they arrive at your door, though...

Thanks for the webpage - Have a look in my gallery for some more pictures of the C110 wagon from a brochure, if youre interested!

Thankyou for clarification!! Michael, the wagon!! I forgot about that... where'd you get all that info?

That sounds like a great idea (the website, and the additional forum). I have a few magazine articles, when you get the website up I could scan those for you. There are a few IT guys here (kyteler and myself at least) so if you guys do need any help (sounds like youre an IT guy yourself though) maybe we can offer our help. Originally, I owned a 240Z and that's how I found this forum - great place - theres NOTHING these blokes don't know about S30 cars!! Then, in a stroke of fate I acquired my C110 and sold the 240Z. I sticked to this forum, not just because the guys here know so much about the L-engines, but also because I've made a few friends too. Somehow, more and more C110 guys find this place, and now we have our own little sub-community. Thanks to Mike (Admin) we even recently got our own forum too! If a new forum is founded on skylinesdownunder.com I'd visit, I'll give you that much There just aren't too many Pre-R31 Skyline fans who use the Internet much...

Hi Kent, What good news!! Sounds like you bought 'nixcars' car. He is a member here. It is a very solid car, and any work he had done on it would be great I'm sure. Congratulations The website would be great, make sure to ask us if you need any help with that. If it was Nick's car, though, I don't think it's a GTX... He bought it locally from the original owners IIRC... The 2000GTX came with the L20 engine - 2 litre six. Not the 2.4 litre six (L24) that the 240K's came with down under. The GTX was the luxury-spec model though, with electric windows (!!!), air con and a few other cool little electric devices. Domestic model only. Which is why I'd be surprised (and a bit jealous) if you actually did get one! The C110 model variants in Japan were: - Nissan Skyline GL (SWB Model - 2 Door Hardtop and 4 Door Sedan - 1600cc and 1800cc 4-cyl engines) - Nissan Skyline 2000GT (LWB Model - 2 & 4 Door - 2000cc straight-6) - Nissan Skyline GTX (LWB Model - 2 & 4 Door - 2000cc straight-6) - Nissan Skyline GTX-E (Same as GTX, except had even more features - VERY rare) - Nissan Skyline GT-R (The most collectable. 2 Door Hardtop LWB only, 2000cc straight-6 S20 engine) And I've heard that some models could be had with the 2.4 six we got in Australia, but I'm not sure if this is correct. Can anyone confirm? And in Australia we got: - Datsun 240K GL (LWB - 2 & 4 Door - 2400cc straight-6) - Datsun 240K GT (Not too sure about this one though! Apparently just had a tape deck and a/c - much sportier!!) If anyone can add to this list, or correct me, please do!! This information isn't gospel, it's just what I've gathered from various places around the net. Here is a picture of the SWB model Skyline, note the much shorter bonnet. Can't imagine the 1.6 litre 4-pot would move it very fast!

I wish I couldn't tell the difference... that'd make buying a "Z" a lot cheaper!!

I don't even know what a "regulator" is, but are you sure you didn't pick the window and regulator from a 2+2?

Cruisey, alright. I wanted to know for next time, if my little Jean would be up for it. She's not the quickest..... I think your car is definitely trying to tell you something!! She probably knows the up here she wont have as many friends as in Melbourne But come on, she'll love the weather!!

Bah, I have a feeling this cruise will be awesome. For curiosities sake, what kind of pace are the cruises you guys have? Please make sure to remember the camera!!

I got an Error 404...?

What he said. The trouble with these cars aren't the price (cheap as chips!), but rather the fact that you can't seem to find any anymore. The C210 is just as rare in Hardtop form. I think it's awesome that you guys want to rally one of our cars. Give the old beauties some well-deserved attention amongst the newer generation crowd!! The 240K's had drums at the back, but the GT-R's in Japan had discs. Like Peter said though, a conversion from a later Skyline is possible. About making it look like a GT-R. I guess you would just want the flares, and maybe a fibreglass GT-R grill. It's all pretty expensive and you'd have to import it straight from Japan, but I guess if you're running around in R33 GT-R's $600 or so for a front grille isn't THAT much............... Let us know how you go, I'll keep an eye out for any C110 2 doors, but dont push your luck if you're trying to find one quickly, like James said...

Must be for a 280ZX.................

The C10 had a different 'GT' badge again. Sure they all look similar, but it's like putting a 350Z badge on a 240Z - just wrong!!

Ahh, the Queesntown Luge!! I remember that. Awesome fun - we didn't have any snow though ROFL Good videos too! Love the first one - great sounding :) Your paint is all shiney

Unfortunately the world doesn't work the way it should. Sorry to see your beloved car all smashed up, but look on the bright side, it could have been worse...

Yeah exactly, I don't want the newer badges. It'd stick out like a sore thumb - to me.
