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!

It's a 240K Coupe. Called a Skyline in Japan... the first Skyline to have round tail lights I think !

Unless she was a beardless woman!

THe fires around Canberra truly are disasterous. No one on this board that I know of comes from Canberra though... so I dont think anyone HERE is in danger. THank you for your support though - I think the fires are reasonably under control now??

Suspension is as follows: Front: Independant, double-acting damper- strut type with coil springs, anti-roll barand tension rods. Rear: Independant semi-trailing arms with coil springs, double acting telescopic nitrogen gas / oil shock dampers. It is a KGC110 I think? Beautiful car to drive... so quiet! A bit tankish though. Definitely cruising material.

Well apparently they're the easiest carbs to fiddle with, but I dont know much about them... they can go out of whack very easily... if you have them I suggest learning how to tune them (I should probably take my own advice too!)

sorry can't help you there! All I can suggest is BE CAREFUL!

I think you'd have to work out WHEN this was done to the back of the car before trying to make it "original". If it was done at the dealer or something then I'd leave it be. If the PO did it 5 years ago then blast away. Personally, I like the looks of the car more when the back is painted black instead of grey, but as far as originality goes....

Yea that's the problem ! It's so good I dont want to mess with it.

Wow... what a ride. I guess a car like that is as much of an investment as a car! That's a lot of money though... I'm beginning to wonder how much more the value of them can go! welcome aboard - this place is quite simple and easy to use once you get the hang of it. Just ignore most of the crap and you're fine

hey Zpeed! THanks for the pics theyre great! I'm trying to collect as many pics as possible because I'm thinking of making a GTR out of it got any more pics? If so, pleeeeease send them to alfadog@bigpond.net.au thanks lachlan mccombe

Supra? Skyline?

Well, this is the only one I've seen - ever! I just washed it and she looks great now (with a polish she'll be even better!) - although something's gone wrong... I turn the key and I hear a click, but nothing else ed: btw thanks for the links! I've seen most of them but there are a couple I haven't! thanks

Hiya I'm now the proud owner of one of these little beasts! It's white and absolutely immaculate, and even better, 100% totally stock. I'm wondering if the TYRES are even the originals because they do look mighty old and the tread looks like that in the brochure I bought on ebay a while back... Anyway, does anyone know where I can find info about them on the net!? I've tried but I can only seem to find very limited info... I'll take pictures

ehheheh yeah my brother showed me that a couple of days ago... TOTALLY insane - you'd have to be a pro to drive it though!! Either that or they just cut out the bits where they veer off the road into bushes.......

I love the "spook"... it suits the car so well!

hehe yeah I've seen one or two of those videos... those guys are plain dangerous. However I only saw a couple of other cars in the whole video so I suppose it cant be THAT dangerous... although if one of those were in the wrong place at the wrong time... who knows what could have happened.

That's curious... from what I understand you to be saying, that makes your key different to both mine and "carguyinok"s key. Do I understand you right?

And the back

Here are pictures of my key for my 1971. I believe the head used to be black? This key opens the boot and doors. I have another key which starts the car. Is this right or do you think my ignition barrel thingy has been changed at some stage?

Why can't you inspect the floorpan? The carpet should be hooked around a couple of catches under the seat - once you unhook the carpet it should lift right up...
