eeeep they're not too cheap either The biggest wheels, in black, with shipping adds up to be about AUD$3500... I guess I'm going to just have to find some 2nd hand ones

Marc I was about to post a topic on the very same lines as this - I am after some good Watanabe wheels also - obviously 2nd hand would probably be cheaper but $200 per wheel sounds good to me! If you can forward the info to me also that'd be great !

Likewise. Those wheels were very popular for the Z from what I've gathered...

Ahh OK then, sorry to hassle you! I'm not after those unfortunately.. thanks anyway mate - that car is gorgeous - I actually like those little chromy things on teh fenders (where the mirrors used to be?)

:? what part of the hub cap is that? I was under the impression a "hub cap" is the wheel cover - the metal/plastic cover that covers entirely the usually black steel wheel? :/

Skyline caps? What do they look like?

Wow!!! From Japan I guess? If you dont mind me asking, how much did you pay? (I dream of one day importing one of those...) How much is importing an old car like that these days? Is it a GTR? Did the coupe's come in anything else? I'd LOVE to see some pics if you have any - alfadog@bigpond.net.au is my email... As for being similar to the 240Z, I'd imagine they share a few parts, but I don't think many members here would know - most of us probably haven't ever seen one of those! By the way, do you know of any older Skyline appreciation clubs or anything in Aus? lachlan

I took it back and after they took it apart and said "cor blimey" they replaced it. So far (around 2 weeks) this new one hasn't faulted. Going for a new record!!! THey're a bit loud though aren't they...

There's so much stuff there it looks like a different language!

how much do you want to spend? -> email me

The following are optical illusions: -Bullbar -Sunroof -Dings in the door and rear quarter panel Stupid trickster camera... For the moment she's Mary (a la Ken & Mary, except the Z is called Zen so it's Zen & Mary) but as soon as I find out the P.O.'s first name, I'm going to call her that.

Finally, a picture! :love: (Bigger one available soon in hte gallery)

How much do you want for it Gav?

If someone knows about this, I'd appreciate it too! The silver pin striping is great

You need ot find some young guy to sit down with you for half an hour and work it out. Either that, or read the manual!!!

That looks right! On my brochure I bought it says: 8.6:1 compression ratio (close enough) 130BHP @ 5600 rpm (same) torque 20.0 kg m @ 3600 rpm which translates into torque 145ft lbs @ 3600 rpm So there we go - I htink you've got hte right engine! If you could type out the rest of the information about the engine, or better yet, scan in any relevant info, that'd be great

yep - thats the one... although I didnt realise they were in production for so long!

PHEW! I guess I'll have to go and look at the VIN on the actual car.... ... and I thought Z's were confusing ...

THanks guys Z Kid, that sounds like a good idea, I'll look into it... Halz, thanks for that I'd appreciate it. I'm guessing I might be able to get a bit of kick out of her if I put a couple of new carbs on and a full exhaust system with extractors. I'm just not too keen on this as it will make the car not original. Although, they're not worth much anyway... don't think they're going to ever be worth much to be honest.

Alan Mine is the same model as "nixcars", a GL model. I'm not being given any pocket money that's why I'm thinking of sel... no I wont say that here, I dont want to be HD&Q! If you still are confused (I know I am! All those P's and Q's do that to you...) dont stress, I'll post some pictures up shortly. It's amazing what one less carbouretor, a different head and an auto gearbox can do to a car AH in fact that might be something you could enlighten me on Alan. What are the differences between the L24 in the 240Z and the L24 in the 240K? cya ! lachlan

Alan - the rear quarter panel is completely different? From the pics I've seen it looks the same! (Dont worry I dont think I'll be trying ot make a replica anyway, I'm just interested!) At the moment I have my 240Z as well, which is great as I could just about start my own museum! I'm not sure if I'll be keeping him (240z) for long though... it's expensive to register 2 cars!

Gee sorry guys next time I'll get one of the earlier Skylines for ya Now one of those KPGs would be REALLY nice. Did they ever make a 2 door non-GTR version? btw anyone in Australia know where I can get some parts for this car?

Wow, yours looks to be in good nick too. I'm still thinking about turning mine into a GTR replica... would be easier than yours - mine's already in white!! I love the look of those old GTRs... with a RB30 it'd go like the bejeezus too! good to know there's another C110 owner here!
