  1. Hey Adam! Honestly mate it was my pleasure. One thing I should point out straight up is ....that was not MY car The closer the date came, it became evident my KGC10 would not be ready, so thanks to a "NSW Corvettes Unlimited " member and VERY good friend of mine, lets call him "Ganders"... very generously made his freshly refurbished KGC10 available for the day. And a great day it was! During the Wedding ceremony we went for a coffee up on Victoria ave nearby.....in that time the parked KGC10 appeared to be the cause of three near misses due to people doing double takes and sudden pull ups in an attempt to get photos!! It caused a bit of a stir with a few of the people walking by as well " What is it?..NO WAY!! Hey come back and look at this" etc It was a pleasure to meet you, your brothers, mates, grooms men etc. I had fun, and ..um yeah, I now have ANOTHER plan for mine P.S. I wore a family heirloom thin black tie and got my hair cut Jase, the Skyline did the rest
  2. WELL! Congratulations to the happy couple......and to this corner of the forum. A combined effort saw Adam arrive at the church with style and class in a genuine 1971 Nissan Skyline GT (looking suspiciously like a GT-R of the same vintage!) Unless someone can point to an earlier occurrence, I think we can claim a first!! Again, congratulations.
  3. RE the S20 in Australia; The only one I know of, (I wish I had kept the ad from "Auto Action"!anyone remember the huge ad space EKW had?) came into and went out of East Keilor Wreckers ~ mid eighties. Engine and gearbox only. IIRC it was from a Fairlady Z432. They were asking Au$8000 back then! From memory Was bought by a company in England who regularly sourced 2nd hand Z car parts from Australia back then. It is now in good hands in GB and well looked after.
  4. I did, but sadly there is very little I could say about that club on a public forum . Save for the fact there are a few good folk there having their best efforts go to waste. Got a better idea now anyway. OH! By the way..... Skylines Australia NSW Rules and Constitution Where? I can't find 'em Cheers, Jim.
  5. In all seriousness, you were lucky to get away with it. Take it as a wake up call and book yourself into a defensive driving course. Aaron Mcgill ran a very good course but that was at Oran Park. Do a bit of a search, there will be others at "The Creek" etc.
  6. Geez! After talking with Shelby I thought you knew better than that!! We have three 1971 KGC10s in Sydney ( 1 GT-X and 2 GT's) all are silver GT-R tribute cars . One very nice stock KGC10 GT-X in Singleton area. The fourth GT-R lookalike has been sold and moved on to SouthCoast somewhere I believe. The two cars in Victoria are stock bodied KGC10's both yet to be refurbished. Another in WA. Mine is currently unregistered but should be right by then and wedding ready if you like!? We could try for two? Cheers Jim.
  7. Wots this estimated bullshit!! stick it on a dyno ya cheap tnuc !!! Even?? EVEN?!?!? Ya know....It's people like you what cause unrest Pete (Jim here ). It's a bit cheap i'nit?? Gotta be worth every penny of that?!?!? Oh! umm...Does Marvin approve ? ...aaand, wots next? Cheers mate, Jim.
  8. Ok..assuming this is not a rev up and you are not just trawling for bites; That is a pic of an Australian delivered 240K coupe. The build plate shows it's a KHGC110. 2.4 litre L6 powered. A quick google image search using "KPGC110" will give you a lot more info to digest. Have fun!
  9. ....And she wasn't alone! The Prince Skyline GT Register is currently at rest in the Blue Mountains (NSW) after traveling from Victoria, (a few from Queensland as well I think?) to Bathurst over the weekend. Lithgow was another stopover. I'm still trying to get up the hill to catch up with whoever made it!
  10. Already an inquiry re shipping to Japan. The Australian market badging for the C110 seems to be just as desirable in Japan as the JDM badging is in Australia! Datsun in place of Skyline, GL in place of GT. Anything to be different I s'pose?!
  11. For a daily driver the 240K still does well. I used one 'til recently for getting around Sydney. 34 year old 240K still more comfortable than a 2003 Hilux Here's a bit of inspiration for ya! I add more as I find 'em.

    What CSA said X2. ....But if you do buy remember you are buying a hobby. Without the Prince register network it can be a long and lonely road when the inherent characteristics of what is now a very rare 40+ year old car come to light. An enthusiast will experience a rare joy that goes with the ownership of a classic Skyline GT-B, and this one is one of the best out there. R34 said... STOOOONE the BLASPHEMAAAH!! Ghostrider said... Yes! One of the four KGC10's in Sydney at the moment. All Silver KPGC10 look a likes. That particular one you saw is running in a new motor. All straight 6's with triple twin choke side draughts. I like to think of them as GT-Bs a few years on
  13. Originally fitted to the Oct '69 ~ March '72 GC10 KGC10 and KPGC10 If you can find someone to buy from Japan for you, and there are a few businesses that do just that, you could try Yahoo auctions JP or Rubber Soul
  14. Hi there! Can you tell me if the sump on these (C210s) is a front bowl? i.e. the deep part of the sump is at the oil pump/front end of the motor? or towards the back. Hope it all works out well for you. Cheers, Jim.
