It sounds like it might be a nice one huh! The name James Tailly rings a bell... Have a look at this beasty: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=102220&item=4550294868&rd=1

Can an unborn baby fart?

I don't think we ever got the longer L24 version though, did we?

Yeah Kent you're lucky I forgot about that auction!! Here's a little model that might also be of some help when it comes time to do the paint work: http://page11.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/n16259239 Camo, the Porsche is dad's.

I would love to be a 240K Forum moderator

The 610 (replacement for the legendary 510, aka 180B in Australia) is pretty different to the C110 (240K) really. They look similar but put them side-by-side and you can see the C110 is a much bigger car. Though, it's closer to the C110 than the infamous B210 (120Y)!!

Hi Tom, I have been trying to get this bumper for some time now (about 6 months) from Warren. You know how he is, you really have to want the part and let him know it for him to organise it. I would definitely recommend asking your local Nissan dealerships... I have never done it personally but what's to lose eh? Failing that you could always get yours straightened and chromed. Trouble is you'd probably want to do the little stainless surround bits too, and the front bumper... and the front SS... and and and... :tapemouth I've attached a couple of pictures of the new setup. It handles very nicely now with oodles of grip. I have "low" King Springs all around with some medium stiffness shocks.. I thought the ride would be pretty harsh but it's actually not bad. I said "low" because the rear seems way too high. I'm not sure what's going on there but it looks like a dragster from the side. I'm going back on Monday to sort this out. It will definitely not stay this high. I'd love to fit an engine to match the looks, but now I'm pretty much broke. Give me a few years though :cheeky: The Supra engine swap is something I would consider too. But in the end I think an RB25DET (or 26DETT if you want to be silly) still wins, even if it's more costly. It's almost an insult to put a Supra engine into the old Skyline... $500 for a carb rekit. Hmm, I'll save up for the gearbox first I think. Let us know how that goes if you get yours rekitted. Kent, I grinned when I saw your intentions to do up your C110 in the theme of a Japanese Police Car! This is exciting news - I really want to see a C110 police car replica so I hope it turns out well! "Something a bit different" is an understatement! Now, where's Kyteler?!

And a couple more pics. Sorry, I'm really fond of the bumper! Compared to my old one it is so straight and clean. It is not perfect, there are spots on the chrome that seem to have gone messy from storage... but it looks great from a distance. I want to see what you guys have done - pictures please!

Just a note to all looking there seems to be a very nice hardtop on www.ozdat.com at the moment for sale for $2000. Could be a bargain! I've been a bit busy with my car, in the last couple of weeks I have done a few things. Firstly I had to take out the bash-plate from under the engine to get the radiator out to get recored. I had it lying around for a while so I decided to restore it. Used a friend's power tools to get it back to bare metal, than coated it with a few coats of primer and satin black. Came out nicely I think! Also I scored a new (as in NEW, stored for the last however many years) rear bumper so I put that on too. I never thought there would be so much rust behind the old one... The brackets looked pretty shoddy, so while I was in the scraping-off-rust mood I restored those too. Put all new bolts and nuts etc. on and finally got the new bumper on. It took a while (especially getting off those darn bolts)! And today, she is getting new shocks, springs and the Watanabes with new rubber fitted. Also ball joints and bushes. Pictures pending! Next week uni starts again, but hopefully some time it'll get a new exhaust system (headers back) and I am still pursuing the mythical rear quarter "GT" badges! If anyone knows of a good cheap source for proper C110 ones please share! Tom, how much is the "rekitting" of your carbs and what exactly does that entail? I think mine would benefit from an overhaul but I would have thought it would be expensive...?

Hey Rick, I wouldn't want no tribal women touching my didge either!

Awesome, thanks Kent for the link I'll check it out... (my driver side glass is scratched)

Wow Jim it really does look brand new doesnt it. I think it would suit my car nicely... Anyone want to guess the final bid price??

Chris I wasn't accusing you of being dodgy if you thought I was, just wondering. It's awesome to see some progress IS actually being made on your car. It's really getting there :classic:

Wow Chris, lookin' good! You make it look easy... Wondering why the whole car is in primer when there is still rust underneath??

Just wanting to add a little info (not something I can do often!) the sedan C110 was also lighter than it's coupe counterpart. I think the extra weight might have been because of some extra strengthing in the side of the hardtop (pillarless) cars so they didn't turn into twisties! (this is a guess!) According to the owner's manual of C110's in 240K GL trim, sedans were 1,170kg and hardtops 1,180kg. Good to know the GT-R was a little lighter, Jim!

Awesome info Alan :classic: I guess this particular car is long-gone now...?

Yours isn't bad either, Chris Built that model yet?

oooh yea, thanks Gav! Had to turn my speakers up really loud for that video

Wow, your friend is lucky!

Back in my day.........
