240K Rear 3qtr
A shot of her gleaming in the sun, you'll have to excuse the hideous colour of my parents house in the background.

240K Tail-lights
I love the round tail lights, I'm trying to source the original "SKYLINE" badge for the rear so I can remove the signwritten version which was put there because the PO got sick of people thinking it was a Mazda.

240K Front from Level
It certainly looks slightly more aggresive with the bigger single holed grill than with the standard. Now all she needs is the front air dam.

240K Twin Headlights
Shot of the twin headlights showing also the GTR badge and the park lamp/indicator which at the time the photo was taken was around the wrong way, it's all sorted now, the left was on the right and vice versa

240K Voltage Regulator
This little thing sits under a small steel panel, doesn't look like an original one and could very well be the cause of some of my woes.

240K's Engine Bay (from the right)
SHe's a bit unkempt but she'll be a constant running resto project anyway so I'll get there eventually.

240K's Engine Bay (from the left)
Unfortunately when I got the car it din't have it's standard air cleaner luckily the RamFlo 600 I had in the shed fit on her perfectly.

The 240K's Single 2BBL Vacuum Secondary Carb
Unlike the Z, the K's standard setup was comprised of the Single 2BBL carb w/ Vacuum Secondaries. Cool wee window too.

power windows available in 73?
Are you absolutely sure of the no electric windows option? I'll be the first to admit I know jack when it comes to the Z other than they're freakin cool and I'd love to own one. (240 or 260):classic: But the 1973 Nissan 2000GT-X Skyline came with electric windows as standard and I believe it was an option on some of the other models, so they did have it there to be used one would think it may transfer over to the Z even if only as an optional extra. Just a thought.

New to the club (sort of)
I've resized the image and tried it out, so it should work, as it's just worked for me, I've attached the file to this message (hopefully). So just save it to your computer and try again with it. :classic:

New to the club (sort of)
I think he's more referring to the avatar, but I could be mistaken, if I'm not though it's changed using the following steps. 1. Make sure you're logged in. 2. Click on "User CP" either on the left hand menu or by clicking forums tab up the top then "User CP" should become available just below it and to the left. 3. Click on the "Edit Options" tab, down the very bottom of that screen should be "Other Options" which is where the Avatar menu is. It's pretty self explanatory from there, there's a 150 by 150 pixels or 500000 bytes limit, whichever is smaller. And if this wasn't what you meant then at least you'll have both image options answered:classic:

A few wee things
Just thought some of you guys might be interested in these few things, being I'm not the one selling them, I didn't think it was appropriate for me to put them in "For Sale" as I wouldn't be able to answer lots of questions in regards to them etc. They're on an NZ Auction website. Bob Sharp #33 Dinky Car Datsun 'D' Centre Caps 280Z bits If this is an inappropriate post just let me know or kill it or whatever you wish. Just thought there might be some interest.

Aquatic Z?
The guy who designed this is or at least was a New Zealander apparently, they spent a while a few years back taking time to develop the mechanism that lifts the wheels into the arches, which is where all previous attempts at aqua cars had failed due to the amount of drag cause by the wheels, but when it all comes down to it, as cool as the idea is and car would be to have it just looks like a mutated MX5, and they're disgusting. However, having the steering wheel in the centre of the vehicle so you can have a girl on each side of you is definately a good idea.

DSC00322
This doesn't look like the one you were looking at from trademe, did you buy this one? If so, how much did it set you back? Looks like it needs some work, probably alot more than those few patches as well. Is it WOF'ed and Reg'ed?

Q for the Aussies
Or you could leave the Z here in NZ, I'll look after it for you.

Supra wheels
This is the wheel (P-type) I'm talking about; Sorry image is so big, it's a direct link from someone elses page, best one I could find quickly :classic: Is it the one you were thinking of?

JMT240KGTR's Car
Browsing through the net I found this which although it's a 2000GT-X and not a 240KGL, it's still externally looks identical to JMT240KGTR's car, which I thought was amusing.

Alternator, Condenser, Ideas?
:D :D :D Hey again guys, To anyone who has been watching or interested or helped me out. Firstly, thanks again. Secondly, I've found the problem!! After losing spark then opening distributor, screwing around with things, checking and changing point gap, changing plugs, pissing around for god knows how many hours, gaining spark back only to still have the problem, then losing it again and getting it back and losing it, I FOUND IT! The little bit of hard plastic that the condensor wire and points wire attaches to must have a crack or leak in it somewhere because after moving it when I lost my spark again, I got my spark back, being it's such a tight fit, putting a bit of tape around it wasnt a good option, however, I did manage to put a bit of tap on the bottom and up the back of it and then clamp the top under the dizzy cap to keep it in place, it's now pretty much eliminated the slight miss, there's still a hint of it's existance but nothing worth worrying about, as an electronic dizzy isnt too far off anyway. At least I know now though and I can sleep soundly. Again, thanks everyone. WOOOHOO!! :D

C210
As Alfadog has said on another image, no such thing as a C210 GTR, the C110 ceased on Nov. 1975 and was the last Skyline to wear the GTR badge until the now legendary BNR32 GTR, which came into being in 1989, almost 15years with no GTR.
