So your car... sounds like a... biplane? Sorry where is the problem?!

hehe, sounds fast Pity they look like a tissue box!!! My manual 240K box I bought off Gavin arrived today! It's all good...

Talking about this one? I'd love the translation once you get it done - might be worthwhile posting it here for others too? The European car in the brochure also has a funny looking steering wheel, but yeah you're right about the tail lights. Strange though... as I could have sworn the GT had the same as the GT-R... How very odd...

Hey I've sent you a PM, I think the GL was the only model to have tail lights like that, all other models had the middle reverse and brake lights reversed...

Wow, a 2000-GTX ! I would really like the steering wheel off of that, but finders keepers I guess :tapemouth Um, just seeing from your avatar picture, you have GL tail lights, not GT... not that it matters mechanically as I think the GT was simply higher spec in air con and a tape deck etc... but your car might be a GL not a GT. Japanese C110's didn't have Nissan badges on the rear at all, simply "Skyline" and "GT"... see attached

Oh, didn't I tell you? I am a cyborg built half on a go-kart...

Nice, that's the same chassis as me !

Is yours auto also? I have never put my foot to the floor until 110kmph so can't say! I wouldn't imagine it would though, as at 100kmph in 3rd I'm doing about 3000 rpm I think. Lachlan

He may have taken them off to put on some fender mirrors, like a real GT-R If he has any spare Skyline badges..............

I saw your pics! Looks like you have quite a few "Skyline" bits on it... the rear spoiler and "Skyline" badges as well as all the stuff you mentioned... One thing about your WOF, I'm not sure if they'll like the lack of a mirror BTW, Invercargill is a beautiful place

Well, she's running!!!!!! Once she gets up and going (past 2000) everything seems sweet, just if you let it go down to idle it'll konk out... like running on 3 perhaps But, it's now idling at 1000 and seems to be driveable. I'm going to take it to a place to get them properly tuned and if there is anything else that is causing the roughness then they can sort that out too. This is where my dad and my mechanical expertise ends! The sound brings back memories of the Zed... :tapemouth Here's a pic for interest. Not very clean I know, but I'm not complaining, she kept the rest of the car perfect :classic: Pity she didn't buy a Zed instead hehehe

Hi! Just installed some dual SU's from a 240Z in my K-car and lo and behold they don't just work like a good obedient set of carbs! Life is never easy!!! It cranks over, and gets some spark, but nothing else... not even a hint of wanting to start. Tried some "Start ya bastard" but to no avail... Any thoughts? :disappoin

Me? There is also JMT240KGTR here on the board. What to look for I guess would be all the pretty standard stuff, and the rust areas are strangely (not) similar to the Z... - in the bottom of the doors - In the bottom of the front fenders just in front of the doors - In the dogleg panel at the bottom after the doors - Under the battery - Under the spare tyre - In the roof around the edges - In the floors Just check everywhere, basically! Hope to see you here more (in numbers we can be proud!) and I'd love to see some pics if the sale goes through?

So in other words I have to go and buy one of those dinky filter things... thanks!

Hi Currently swapping my single carb for some dual SU's from a 240Z, and have a question... I have the non-stock air filter, so how should I connect the hose thing coming off the top of the head? Most other hoses and stuff line up pretty perfectly (with the exception of some weird things at the back and the throttle/choke). Here are some pictures I found for reference.. see what I mean? http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=3508&password=&sort=7&thecat=998 http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=5777&password=&sort=7&thecat=998 The little air filter thingy on hte second one looks mighty fine, but I'd rather not have to go and buy stuff to fit on... Thanks!

On my Zed there seemed to be a spot under the fender marked already for the mirrors... or maybe my car did have mirrors but they were covered up at some stage??? DAMN I would have loved those mirrors !!
