I have been meaning to take pictures and post some info. Yes I did get the stainless trim back. It's very nice and I'm happy. It cost me $200 (they didn't want to charge too much as I had waited for 4 months). Very long story, but I got the bits back in the end and that's what counts. Due to the dings that had to be straightened out it's not perfect like a NOS piece would be, but you have to expect that. I'll take pictures eventually - but you can probably see it for real in a week or so

What nice results Jim! All ready for the Bathurst run now I see! Just in time too. I've got new spark plugs and points yesterday, but I'm thinking maybe I should replace the leads too? Is this easy to do? Not sure what else I can do within a week to up performance a bit. Gotta keep up with those Princes... What a difference the tune did. The dyno chart really says it all.

Note that it doesn't have any bids yet, though

Well, firstly this is in the wrong forum. You should post it in the 240K forums! Secondly, ratios I believe are here somewhere - please use the SEARCH function to find what you are looking for in the future before making a new topic. The ratios you are looking for can be found here - http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20145&page=3

If you can tune them yourself, should be good. You can always swap back right?

Do it, you'll probably find she appreciates the compliment, and you never know what it could lead to. That's how I got my car

buona fortuna!!

Hi Mat, yeah the hydrolic line came out of the parts car too. We replaced the master and slave cylinders though - not sure if I mentioned that. The line was simple enough (easy for me to say, Peter was the one who hooked it up!). I'm not sure if you can get these new or not, but the one we had was fine.

Yeah they are pretty similar in design style. Some of the other Nissans of the era are similar too. Here are some pictures of an American one (note the fabulous bumpers) that was on eBay in October 2004 Very much an oddball car, but I think they are great. Quite futiuristic from some angles... and from others, well....

Good information . . . . so it looks like if I get this front set up previously on Kent's car I will need late model 240K struts as mine are early? And a new master cylinder too - or would that only really be necessary if I changed the rears too? (Sorry for diverting the topic a bit!!)

Thanks! I will look into that TRS. I might end up giving you another email Miles ... if you dont mind ... !

Nice! I was watching that too wondering if you were bidding ... looks like that was a bargain!!

I hear that the spoiler was actually designed by Albrecht Goertz!!!1

Can anyone tell me the difference between http://page3.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/c108361236 and http://page13.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r24545868 And secondly, would it be possible to get something like this in Australia for around the same price? Where might I look??

I'm fairly certain it's from a Nissan Patrol - with a C210 / R30 steering wheel.

I wonder how much the reserve is... I would quite like that engine! Also, I'm wondering if the picture of the interior is of the same car??? Does not look like a 240K interior.

Very interesting! They certainly were spoilt for choice back at home. In Australia we only ever got the 2+2, and 2+2 T-bar I believe... definitely short end of the stick on that one! Thanks for all the information though. The structure of the VIN prefixes is good - very sensible and consistent at Nissan it seems compared to some other companies... Sorry for making this thread go off-topic MOM! I believe your original question has been answered now though.

Yes I saw that too Arne! What was going on there?? It does look like a beautiful car though. In fact they all do (for what they are). Congratulations on your 2nd place!! It's great that Japanese cars are finally being recognised at events on the same level as others.
