[SVD115]

Australia...soon to have more KPGC110 GTR's then japan...

ah well...least it's not going to rust or be crushed like the majority of 240k's have surely suffered...even if it is hacked up

gl with it...

So it arrived today and had a proper chance to look over it with a mechanic mate.

The original engine is running quite rough (was fine in QLD), needs brakes and carbies need a rebuild. This has sped up my decision to take it off the road and restore it without driving it around as is.

Plans for the build are:

*Rebuild L24 from ground up with Webber carburettors and a lumpy cam.

*Convert from auto to manual (if anyone can help me source the bits I need for this, can you please pm me)

*Respray in white

*240 K Manual centre console

*GTR guards

*GTR spoiler

*GTR grill

*GTR badges

*GTR trim highlights (silver instead of woodgrain)

*GTR steering wheel

*New carpets

*restored dash pad (this one’s cracked)

*Wide Wantanabe with low offset (keep hubbies for shows etc)

I’ve taken some quick close ups from my phone so excuse the quality.. I will get some better pictures once I get a chance.. it only arrived this afternoon and as you can see it’s NOT a museum car and is in need of restoration.

As you can see no rust in the floors which is great

Interior is perfect..

Some may think I paid too much or too little but at least it’s in genuine original condition. Overall I’m reasonably happy and doubt I’d have found cleaner anytime soon.. I know my plans will disappoint many people but at the end of the day, it’s another classic on the road that’s been saved from the scrap heap and will get nothing but the best parts and service. It’s my car, I have always wanted an old GTR and I’m sticking with an original style build. I won’t be putting an RB26 or anything like that (although that’d be awesome) it’s not what I want or how I envisioned it to be (I’m an old skool kinda guy!)..

*240 K Manual centre console

I think you will find a manual console is the same, except it has a "boot" instead of the auto shifter

Any pics of the low side of the doors and from around the rear windows. Those where the parts that worried me from your earlier pics.

I’ll get some pics soon of the low side of the doors and around the rear windows. Suprisingly those areas aren’t so bad.. they are the “usual” areas but aren’t that bad.. once it’s fully stripped down, then it’s true identity will be revealed.. I appreciate the support and interest; I’ll endeavour to keep you all updated on its progress..

I am going to start looking for either a set of triple Mikuni's or a set of triple Webbers , other bits I may need help sourcing are the GTR replica bits.. Anyone have experience with the AeroDesu parts from OTOMOTO? How’s the quality? Anyone recommend any other brands or places?

I’m also trying to track down the lettered skyline badge for the rear garnish, there’s one on eBay but it’s missing the pins and he wants $220

I’m also chasing the Skyline rear quarter badges.. can anyone clarify which ones are correct

http://page10.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/m96121326 (Note that this a normal skyline badge, GTR have black in the centre of the writing) This has passed through a few times but they can either go for 5~25k depending on condition

The 2nd qrt badge you posted is for a c10 and not c110.

This is the cheapest one atm and hardly find any cheaper than that http://page5.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/e125687021

Other option is buy through this seller and save postage but his badge is dearer but stock both you need and also has front and rear

no doubt you will ask how to buy this and your answer is this http://jessestreeter.com/ . I have meet him and been ordering stuff off him for 7+ years now and alot of people use his service. His other email you can use is dartsun75@gmail.com for orders. Just send the links to him and he will break down the cost and give u a qoute.

Ah well that's one less thing! Perfect.. thanks for that!

...and I thought you were an expert on Kenmeri's...

There were 5-speed manuals on Gumtree last time I looked (a week back), one in Tassie, one here in SA. A manual conversion at least sounds like a sensible modification, but you'll need more than just the box obviously.
