Thanks Alan, Lachlan, a wealth of knowledge coming from everywhere! A neighbor of only a few streets away has one i think, and its not in an un-salvageable condition - it looks like one of those single-owner cars [that we all look out for], as the old man that drives it, im told, has been in it for years. The ancestor to the gemini!? What happened to the sinuous styling, id take the bellet any day... I was thinking about this situation, the other day, that australia is a damn lucky country. We were the only market in the world [as i believe - correct me..?] that recieved the s54 skyline, and one of the lucky ones that got the c110. It sounds like a similar case with the bellet, im interested to know if there are any others of significance? Cheers, Tom -

check out the intensely modified kcg10 skyline in the middleground... -
nice lineup of various skylines -
Thanks, Alan. I have quite a few pics of it, would it be a 60's car? ANd do you know what sort of motor it ran?

Greak work, kent im really interested to see how it turns out!! [it may be inspiration for me.

Jeezuz thats intense, at least its sunnys being destroyed... -
Very nice looking z432. Love the 432 paint scheme. -
Ah, cheers for the info, Alan. I happened to discover this picture on a uk skyline forum, perhaps you were one of the posters there? I remember hearing the same, that the purchaser was utterly screwed over. From the photo its very hard to discern whether it is completely shagged or not. Caveat emtpor indeed. Tom -
It seems strange doesnt it, that they wouldnt just go for two sets of black flares, but this car certainly is quite desirable. Are you suggesting its not an authentic gtr? -
Apparently someone took to a poor pgc10 with a welder and this is the result. doesnt really seem half bad...Its sposed to be hideously rusted out...

Ill have to find out, thanks heaps.

Cheers michael, thanks for the info. Out of interest, what brand of additive do you use? Tom
-
Yeah the prob is that its 'lead replacement' fuel, and ive been told, like you said luke, that the quality of that fuel is abysmal. Ill have to check what head i have, is there any way of knowing without ripping the thing off? Given that its a 73' 240k though, the chances are that its an earlier brass valve seated head...Does anyone know of any particular brands of additive? I think i have heard of valve seat hardening too, lachlan, but im not sure where you could get it done and how exp. it is...

Im wondering what type of petrol most of you use for your L series motors. I know they mostly adapt to unleaded quite well, but ive been told that its quite a dry fuel, and can lead to valve seat recession. Im currently using unleaded in my l24 and ive not had any problems, however, a friend mentioned to me that there are various lead or zinc based additives that can prevent vsr. How often would you add a product like this and is it necessary? Also, despite these engines not being designed for unleaded, is 98 octane beneficial, due to it burning cleaner? Any help would be much appreciated. Tom

Hah!! Bastards...why dont i just stick rx3 rotary powerd badges on my 240k...

Thats cool, michael, ive got a couple of gl grilles to muck around with. If i get fed up, i can always take the plunge and buy a replica. Having looked at all of your photos, the job seems to be fairly well done! Just for interests sake, on datsunworld.com [a british datsun ' history' website], the c110 enamel blue coupe is yours, no? [maybe the previous owners?] Thanks razor, im glad to be a part of a decent c110 community now. Cheers for the link to SAU, just joined up there. More tasty info to get my teeth into (= ...

Dunno if it will help, but whiteline make swaybars for the 240k [as i was abt to buy one the other week]. With this in mind it may be fair to assume that they make other bits specific to the 240k too... In my brief exchange with the suspension guy who informed me of the whiteline swaybars, he reccomended some front camber adjusters [k-mac possibly?]. Koni adjustables or bilsteins would be the way to go in terms of dampers obviously, but dependant on your budget. Not sure if your aware, but its pretty easy to modify the front struts on a 240k to turn them into coil-overs...Hope any of that helps, Tom
