Mr Camouflage

Heres the original Post and Poll from when I had the Other Datsuns idea in the first place. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11128 I think the idea behind naming the forum 240K was to stop the site being overrun with discussion about 4 cylinder datsuns. I think renaming the current 240K forum to "Datsun Skyline" would stop people mistaking it for the 240Z forum. I think there reason some people post in the 240K forum instead of the 240Z forum is this page: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/index.php I think people see Datsun 240.... sticking out on the end and thats all they read.

I remember years ago suggesting an "Other Datsuns" forum for discussion about datsuns thats werent zeds, but for reasons you'd have to ask Mike about, he created it as a 240K forum instead.

Hmmmm, I've read that there was a special Paul Newman version of the R30 Skyline, but never heard of a R31 Newman. I first heard the R32 called Godzilla by an announcer during the broadcast of the touring car races at the time it was raced.

How much were they?

I saw the other post (with the pic) before this one so i knew what he was talking about. It's a fibreglass front end for the S130 in the style of a G nose, Made by somone in the UK. Doesn't look too bad, adds a bit of ZG class to the S130, and gets rid of the bulky bumper bars. Heres a pic from the other thread. see it for more photos, and info on availability.

What mirrors are those? 280Z ones?

try emailing or pm'ing the guy (moggy240) that posted the pic of the zx g-nose on the other site.

Hey Dafunkist, I wasn't trying to be rude, just trying to say the car was sold without letting everyone know I bought it, but I guess the cats out of the bag now. Plans for the car, hmm, fix the rust, some gtr spoilers and flares would be good.

Latest News reports state that Peter Brock died at today (September 8, 2006), in a racing accident after colliding with a tree during TargaWest '06 in Western Australia, near the township of Gidgegannup. Brock was driving with Mick Hone in a Daytona Coupe. http://www9.sbs.com.au/theworldnews/region.php?id=131182&region=7

Looks like a 5 pieces nose to me, just painted all the same colour. The one piece noses I've seen dont have the join moulded in between the headlight bucket and center panel, where the join would be if it were a 5 piece. If you look at the photo, you can see the line. Yeah its not a 1970 either. S31's were mid 70's (like 260/280 interior). It says its an S31 in the chassis number. Also the FI is a givaway for a later car, unless its had an engine swap. "ONE MORE THING DMV LEGALLY REGISTERED THROUGH THE VIN NUMBER AND IT CAME OUT 1970 NISSAN" I guess if you compare the chassis number S31011637 to a US spec S30 then S30 - 011637 would be in the range of a 1970 car, but of course you cant do that, so somone at the DMV really screwed up. ZT? Whats that again? ZL maybe? (I thought people added the T for turbo?) Nope S31's look like S30's.

The laurel looks nice, except for the massive flares. I wonder if that ZG nose is an original nissan item.

He said the car was sold.

I dont understand why a JDM Fairlady is worth any more than an equivelent condition 240Z in the USA? I would have thought the 240z would be more desirable because of the extra performance of the L24 and the fact that you are sitting on the correct side of the car when driving in the USA.

Most likely becaus its a dealer option (ie installed after the car was delivered to the country it was sold in), and it was up to the dealer to source a supplier and fitter of vinyl roof coverings. I guess the differences are just because you are in the UK ad they did vinly roofs a little differently to the USA. If you look at the one thats on Ebay Australia its different again. Heres a pic:

Yeah thats a vinyl roof. Otherwise is wouldnt have the chrome strip extending from where the drip gutter ends above the side quater window to the rear of the guard.

The picture is obviuosly and unmistakably a Z to me. No text needed. But then again, some people cant tell the difference between a 2 seater and a 2+2 without looking in the back to see if theres a seat there.

Went shopping on the weekend for a Kyosho Skyline GT-R KPGC110 1:18 scale, but they only had a Silver one, and it looked like it had defect in the paint, so I didn't get it. I was after a white one, and was going to get them to order it, but they said they didnt make one :stupid: and I couldn't be bothered argueing with them. Picked up some 1:24 plastic kits instead. C10 GT-R, Cherry X-1-R, toyota 2000GT (They also had the Fuji 24 hour race winner version). The C110 GT 4 door I already had, but thought i'd add a pic anyway. They had another one of them if anyone wants one, let me know.

Since I doubt you would inspect these cars and ship them out of the goodness of your heart, I believe that you would charge some sort of fee for this service correct? Which makes you a business. This is the General Discussion Thead. Let me point you towards the Rules of this section: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/announcement.php?f=114 "Commercial postings are prohibited on this site" Though it does specifically say "sell merchandise" I believe Mike means Goods and Services. In which case you should discuss the club sponsorship program with Mike. "A special forum may be created for any Vendor that wishes to participate in the club sponsorship program". You can Advetise your car locating and transporting services there.

Nissan had a bit of a theme going on in the 70's The cherry had a bit of C110 style too. Check out the shape of the side rear windows.

Just Keep it! It looks in pretty good condition. It would be really hard to find another one.

Thats a 240ZG steering wheel, right?

Jeez Alfa, thought you were selling your car when i read the subject line! It's a GT-X so i guess thats why it has electric windows.

All you need to do is create a login and start correcting the mistakes. If you have a look at the page history: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nissan_Skyline&action=history you can see how the page was built up over time, and see the old versions and the usernames of the people that edited them.

Hate to rain on your parade, but the e88 also came out in a small valve version. I think the only way to tell them apart is to remove the head and look at the valves. http://www.geocities.com/zgarage2001/heads.html

Somone should buy it and have some decent moulds made so a better quality F/G reproduction can be made, so the rest of us can afford to buy one. Might buy a lotto ticket tomorrow.
