    I dont believe (and please correct me if i'm wrong) the skyline C10 was available for sale in Australia at any time, as either a prince or a nissan, and definately not the GT-R. The first nissan GT-R to be officially sold in Australia was the the R32 (Godzilla).

    For that much money you could buy a 1400hp OS giken RB30 short motor and have change to buy a head and some turbos http://www.otomoto.com.au/osgiken/RB30_race_engine.htm

    Hmm nice sales tactic. wizz off the people that actuall want to buy the car. Did anyone contact the guy selling the Blue 240K coupe on ozdat? At $4000 or near offer it sounds like a better buy, especially if you plan to do an engine conversion.

    Stud measurment is the same as any other datsun. 4 x 114.3. There was a torana rear spoiler for sale on this forum, I think by khughes. There was also some lowered King springs for the K on ebay a while ago, so I guess they probably still make them. I think the coupe K flares will fit. You'd have to cut them along the rear doors edges so the doors could open. I wouldn't bother with the flares and the torana spoiler, just paint it, put some mags and lower it a bit:

    It was a very rude thing to say. I bet he was just as rude to your "Friend". As for being better than a zed, i still cant think of a reason. Maybe because they are slow, so they dont use as much petrol.

    Step 1. Take it to an auto electrician. Step 2. Pay the bill. Problem solved. Might be the voltage regulator, not regulating the voltage. If you have a multi meter, check the voltage at the battery with the engine running at idle. then get someone to rev it to 3000 and check it again. I dont know what the voltage should be, id be guessing if i said, so i'll leave it up to someone that knows, but there shouldn't be much of a difference between the two speeds. If its any more than 15 volts, i'd be worried. If you have the original VR, I belive they can be serviced, but you'd have to do it yourself, VR's these days are electronic, and an auto electrician would replace it with the electronic type.

    Ah, well that's your fault for trying to talk to those types of people. You should know better. Dont make eye contact, Ignore them. If they start asking about your car, just get in it and drive away, and hope they dont follow you in their MG.

    If you need any advice on importing a car to the USA, head on over to www.nicoclub.com and find out the name of the company that imported Dr. Rex Birkmire's (aka speedoctor ) csp311 Silvia form Japan to the USA. I found thier website once, and they have imported lots of cars to the USA for people, mostly from Japan, but they might be able to help you, or give you some usefull advice.

    before you wreck the 240K sedan, you should see if anyone in kuwait wants it

    Its not your week, is it. He probalby had his light off untill he was far away, so you couldnt read his number plates. If I had custom plates, i'd secure them with machine screw, or allan key head type bolts, and fill the head with filler (or maybe use a small coach-bolt), and give them a coat of black paint . On the other side, id use 2 nuts and lock them together. Would work very well on the rear plate of a Z. That should discourage all but the most determined thief. If you ever needed to remove them you could dig the filler out. dirty stinking s'tnuc.

    one word: vapour-lock (ok, maybe its two words).
  12. Mr Camouflage
    Saw in the back of the current Australian Classic Car magazine that a Toyota 2000GT recenly sold at auction for $226,000. Theres also a red CSP311 Silvia for sale in the classifieds section.
  13. Mr Camouflage
    I hear they are, in Kuwait . Auction ended at AU $10,090.00 Reserve not met.
  14. Mr Camouflage
    Post some pictures

    He has to sell it for what the auction finishes at. That ebay policy. If he doesnt, he should be banned from ebay, and the winning bidder should take legal action to enfors the sale at the finishing bid. I think it will sell for more thatn $4000 though. Why is he selling it? He only bought it a couple of months ago? Did he buy it to resell it to make a profit? It's a reall pity the original seller never let the auction finish.

    Its not bad enought that these cars were crushed and sent overseas to be turned into hyuandai's and fridges by scrap metal merchants because they weren't valued by their owners, had all the front struts pilfered by 510 owners looking for brake upgrades. Now the few that managed to survive are being hunted down, bought for a pittance and exported, to kuwait where they sell for alot more than they pay for them. I can alost hear them now "Arr, its an old datsun, not worth anything, I'll take it off your hands for free, save you having to try and sell it". I recon 240K's are rarer than 240Z's in Australia.
  17. Mr Camouflage
    Maybe someone was having a lend of your friend, "make fun of the tourist" style. Not wanting to hijack the thread, but does anyone know why the 240K was never released on the american market?

    theres a blue 240K coupe for sale on www.ozdat.com search the classifieds and you should find it
  20. Mr Camouflage
    something is retarded
  21. Mr Camouflage
    The problem with ebay noobies, is that they tend to pay alot more than a seasoned ebayer would, and they bid really early, so they drive the price up. Would be funny if it sells for less than the original owner was asking for it.
  22. Mr Camouflage
    Was your train of thought de-railed?
  23. Mr Camouflage
    Was a guy called John Ellis there? He's the guy that owns the Skyline that was in the Australian Classic Car 2006 yearbook.
  24. Mr Camouflage
    Yeah I felt the same way. I was very keen on it the first time, even with the cost of transporting it across the country, but now... I bought another 240Z in the mean time. Still on the lookout for a coupe body locally though.
  25. Mr Camouflage
    You should really post something like that on a holden or torana forum, You'd probably get what you paid for it, when selling it to the right crowd.
