Thanks Zed, Already a member of the Prince Register - My father and I are very good friends with Noel actually. One of the attachments (pics.) i posted is actually Noels car - the original factory race car - one heck of a nice car. The Register is open to all Prince owners and we meet 2nd Friday of each month at a location that is decided month by month - usually Noel's place or another members place. I am still looking for any other sources of parts or literature from anyone out there - any help would be much appreciated. Again thanks anyway,

Thanks Cuong, that would be great - the more contacts for these cars can only be beneficial in the preservation of such cars. Whilst on the subject of tracking things down - does anyone know of anyone or anywhere where literature can be obtained for the Prince range of vehicles - anything at all - manuals, sales brochures etc. Maybe Alan might know of someone/somewhere - you obviously have a few contacts in Japan. (Alan, i have only been a member of this site for a short time - but must commend you on your wealth of knowledge on the Datsun/Nissan/Prince topics - i have read many of your postings - and can only say keep up the brilliant work. I'm sure every member appreciates all the input you have given). Here is a pic. of the old man's Prince with the Turbocharged L20

Here is a pic. of one of my fathers cars to keep you going - a bE2 model with a turboed L20 (L20ET) in it - it goes very hard and has had a lot of work done on it such as hiding computer and all electricals - a bit of a machine this one. I know someone who has a Clipper - rare piece of machinery that one.

There are quite a few Princes throughout NSW and i know of a few in WA but the bulk are in Victoria - which is where i am. Prince Skylines were built from 1964 (late '63) - 1967 (early '68). Anyone else out there know of the whereabouts of any of these little hotties. Here's A pic for you Alfadog of a Japanese museum KPGC110 - neat old car these ones too - i also hope to buy a 240k coupe one day and GTR it. Yours looks to be in super nick. Congrats....

A friends original factory race car with all the racing goodies - true log book car. Sweet car this one....

And a friends race car - what a beast.....

This is a pic. of my other car

Just a quick start to a new topic of conversation. I currently own two Prince Skyline 2000GT's (My father also owns 2 - but has owned 6). A relatively rare car which started the Skyline family of cars (before Nissan bought Prince Motor Company out). I know of about 35 - 40 cars in Australia and approximately another 10 or so in New Zealand. The Prince Skyline 2000GT was quite a little performer in it's hey-day with a SOHC 2L straight six with triple 40DCOE webers putting out 127bhp they are a fun car to drive. The car actually raced throughout Japan and in particular races here in Australia. In fact Prince Skyline's actually filled places 2nd - 6th in the 1964 Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka behind a Porsche Carrera GTS 904 with the Skylines swapping the lead with the Porsche throughout the race and a Skyline actually getting the quickest lap time of the day. An interesting car - have a look at a pic of one of my cars.
