    An interesting proposition! Those "cars" just got a whole lot more valuable.

    This car has a history on ebay A real pity he still hasn't sold this to someone who will really enjoy it. Wonder if he's got his "real C10 GTR" yet :cheeky:

    So they're saved now..... but what are they good for?
  4. Alfadog replied to gogriz91's post in a topic in 240K Skyline
    You'd want to check this car out in person I'd say
  5. Alfadog replied to Ed's post in a topic in Open Discussions
    I vote no. Just don't drive on loose gravel.
  6. Alfadog replied to Curtis 240's post in a topic in Open Chit Chat
    Yes, the 910 came in SSS.
  7. Z - 2 Trees - 0!
  8. Oops, I forgot to change my location. I've moved down here indefinitely mate.
  9. If it was in Japan I'm sure someone would pay that much. However, it's not in Japan :-)
  10. Hey thanks Jim, means a lot to me. Craig, yes it's going overseas. It was driven to the docks yesterday actually.
  11. My thoughts exactly Murph If the car in question was an earlier one like Craig's second link, I'd have bought it by now! They're EXCELLENT! So luxurious, in Japan they had power windows and seats!
  12. Good point, I don't know if I've ever seen it on a KPGC110 though?
  13. Interesting. I wonder what the story is with that car and the woodgrain console. And the lack of a VIN plate on the firewall!
  14. Search this site for more info about VINs. I don't think it's a good idea to reference "GT-R Replicas" with this kind of thing! The first and second photos appear to be different cars. The first is not a GT-R, the second is. The first is a later model 2000GT-X, and this is why it has the extended arm rest on the passenger side. Nothing to do with GT-R. GT-R never had this kind of arm rest as it was only produced in 73. As seen in the second picture, the GT-R did not have the brushed aluminium (I think that's what the material is anyway) along the bottom of the door on the inside. Yup, all black vinyl. Third is just a 2000GT, later model with round a/c vents. Fourth is interesting. Do you have any more pictures of this one? It looks to be in a museum, and looks to be a GT-R except for the woodgrain on the console. Weird.
  15. What did it ever do to you??? Meanie.
  16. Hey thanks mate Unfortunately I can't call it my own anymore. On Friday it will be sent to its new owner... I'm already missing her...... I don't think I'll ever find another C110 like this one. My new car (SHAME!)
  17. ... before I do! LINKY Looks great.

    I'm so so sorry to hear this news too. I can't begin to imagine how hard this must be for you Vicky and the family. My deepest condolences.
  19. Alfadog replied to Mat Big Hat's post in a topic in 240K Skyline
    Yeah they were imported here as 240K GTs early on. Very early one! The early ones were also 4-speed. From memory 5-speed was added later. It should be detailed in service manuals .... or have you got rid of them too!! Traitor!! Yer, I realise I'm being a hypocrite Any pictures of it? Was it any good, and, was it for sale?
  20. Alfadog replied to Mat Big Hat's post in a topic in 240K Skyline
    Having T as a floor-shift suffix would make sense of Jim's observation that all models have that letter in their code. However the KPGC110 doesn't have it. So not sure... It might just be a exception to the rule. H is part of the prefix AND is also used in the suffix. They mean different things. I was talking about the suffix. I thought this was obvious. Sorry. It is very well documented that for S30's it is certainly the case that there are different serial number sequences for different models. We've had a fair few confused people who thought the same as you for S30's... HLS30, HS30, S30, RS30, RLS30, PS30 etc. all have their own serial number sequence!! From everything I have seen this is true across all Nissan models of that era. The page addresses this in plain text. I don't know how you can argue with that? What 'evidence' are you looking for? What evidence have you got to suggest otherwise?
  21. Alfadog replied to Mat Big Hat's post in a topic in 240K Skyline
    Jim was talking about the suffixes. I don't know what you are even trying to say here. Yours is KHGC110-302. There were 301 KHGC110's before yours. Just because sales data is not readily available and you haven't personally seen VIN 1-301 does not mean they never existed!! Mine is 3929. How many of the cars between 302 and 3929 have you seen? The vast majority of these cars do not exist anymore! Without information to DISPROVE, we must assume what is written in official documents is correct. The page I posted addresses this. I don't understand what you're trying to say. So far I don't see anything we don't know already other than the brief Japanese lesson by Alan :squareeye
  22. Alfadog replied to Mat Big Hat's post in a topic in 240K Skyline
    My apologies! Yes the KC110 did in fact exist and is as you say the SWB Hardtop with G16 engine. That's what I get for posting without checking my facts first. BTW H stands for automatic I believe Jim. I don't know what the T is for, but they all have that suffix except the KPGC110. Here's a page you might like to see Art, from Australian C110 Service Manual. Do you have this too? (note only export models shown)

    I doubt it... Never seen a picture of a 130 Cedric with these hubcaps. They had an older style chrome hubcap that suits the era much better. Also the 130 stopped production in 1971 - no reason to keep hubcaps lying around for 2 years.
  24. Alfadog replied to Mat Big Hat's post in a topic in 240K Skyline
    Correct! Think about it - what would a KC110 be?! A SWB 6-cylinder hardtop? A KPC110 did exist though. SWB "C110" could be ordered with G16 or G18 I understand, though G18 only arrived later (correct me if I'm wrong). Whether the P indicated 'Prince' can't seem to be confirmed, however it certainly appears that way. G16/G18 for SWB cars or S20 for LWB. I understand each different VIN (or ID, whatever) was sequential and independant, like other Nissan models. That includes : GC110 KGC110 HGC110 KHGC110 HLGC110 KHLGC110 KPGC110 PC110 KPC110 And probably others. Please correct me if I'm wrong Alan. My books are still packed so can't reference anything. Might check them out later tonight.

    Early! As in 73 or 74.
