Does it have to be a GTR to be a skyline? My bad, I don't know a whole lot about skylines. I am learning. Hehehehe. Thanks for the correction Kyteler.

That is some awesome dish Greenmonster!!! A Z would need some nice flares for those. I love your 1st gen skyline by the way.

You can get spacers to put on a z to install these wheels, but I am not fond of this watanabe style. I believe these are called th F-8. I think these were made when Watanabe was owned by another company, but I am not sure on that. Yeah, I think you should go with a 0 to +12 14 by 6.5J. These are way to negative. The single piece wheels look better on a Z in my opinion. Take care, Ben

You never sieze to amaze me with your knowledge on vintage Japanese cars Alan. That goes for you too kats. -Ben

Thanks Kats for the great information. Was the 2300cc engine a toyota or yamaha design? Was the 2300 only made for export? Thanks again, Ben

I am with you Alfa, the car definately looks better with that sleek roof. Alan, I assume that they made it in LHD also for export. Were these cars ever exported? Take care everyone, Ben

That is a pretty good book. Actually a great book. It is very imformative and I love the section on the Rally cars. Ben

here it is...

They look like the same size in this photo, but I always thought the 2000gt looked a little bigger than the zed.

nice car, bad photo

Here are a few pics that I took at Blackhawk a year ago. Enjoy

Two summers ago I went to the blackhawk car museum in blackhawk, CA and there was a white 2000gt on display. I remember it very well. It was a beautiful car, and I only knew of their existance through some Z books and that it was on a James Bond flick. I believe the one I saw was a LHD model. I will post some pics of it when I get home. I am not certain, but did Carrol Shelby race the 2000gt or have anything to do with them? I thought he did for some reason. Great car, and I am glad I saw one in person. Some where in the states there is a 2000gt club. I saw it on the web awhile back. Take care, Ben

The picture of Auxilary's 240 was taken at the 2003 Z's by the bay show in Fremont, CA.

Okay, I am going to go hide now.

This has to go up there on my list as one of the most beautiful Z's ever. Take a look and see for yourself. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2461427681&category=6187

The reason why it does not have a oscillating box is because it does not have the stopwatch function. This clock is considered the calender clock and it was for Fairlady Z's from 74-78. I believe that it was also a datsun competition option found in a catalog of the day. take care, Ben

I was thinking about a 240z being a fairlady Z. I dont know, since many of them dont have 2.4 litres they would technically be a 200z. I will drop this subject. Forget that I even brought it up. Sorry mike, I do not want to start anything. Regards, Ben

These clocks show up every now and then on ebay. I bought mine early last year. Since mine was for a 1974-78 I did not need the oscillating box. Hey victor, you should have ebay email you everytime a rally clock comes online. Just put it the keywords datsun rally clock in titles and descriptions, and for 90 days you will get a notification everytime an auction contains those words at no charge. I do that for watanabe wheels and it works out great, except no wheels:cry: . Anyways, good luck on finding the box. You have been looking for it since I joined this forum. That is a while. Take care, Ben
