Hi all, I'm looking to take a bit of a step back in time, I'm selling my R34 and am currenlty looking at a KPCG10 GTR replica.

In all honesty I don't know a whole lot about them but I really like them. I'm not seeing a whole lot of info around on them, it's almost like not many people in Australia have them.

Can anyone give me any good advice or point me in the direction of good web pages etc?

Thanks in advance! :(

there was a site which one of j-spec's customers ran, dedicated to oldschool jap cars, but i forgot the URL

try japanesenostalgiccar.com for info.

as for compliance, not much has to be done, just a roadworthy and an engineer's inspection. if its pre 1978 it doesn't haev to be RHD, if its pre 1983 (i think, not sure) it doesn't have to meet some EPA requirements, and if its a lil older it doesn't have to meet any. Not sure on the year the rules kick in though. can check if you want.

Adz, send craig (J-Spec Imports) a PM on sau, he'll respond eventually.

Check out this thread on Japanese Nostalgic car.... I think the car might actually be from melbourne aswell.

>>>Project Hakosuka<<<

Plenty of useful information.

good choice, every man and his dog has a 34 now...

Hi Adzmax,

There are seven in Australia (known). Two basically unmolested KGC10s, four GT-R replicas, one of which may be for sale (Sydney) . These have been built in Japan from either a standard GT or GT-X. In W.A. one radical ,big flares, big wheels, loooow, etc also may be for sale. See C-red tuning, is also an importer of Japanese parts .

Have a good read of Kevs Hakosuka rebuild thread. Throw some questions to Kev. He has recently done what you propose. All care was taken to source a good car through a (still!) respected importer. Kevs is not the only case like this. It is a risky business, I was just plain lucky.

KGC10 = 1971-72 Nissan Skyline GT 2 door ( & GT-X)

KPGC10 = 1971-2 Nissan Skyline GT-R. The real deal with the S20 and the other 10,000 parts that make it GT-R, around $100,000 in round figures for what I would call a good car.

I can put you in contact with the owner of the car that MAY be for sale in Sydney.....or is it a KGC110 your after?!

Cheers :P

that would be nathan from Mt White automotive's car, and it is in beautiful condition. give him a call directly if you are genuinely interested. I would love to have the space to buy it.

Hey all, have missed the added posts in the this thread :thumbsup:

72GT - Still learning about these cars, yes it's actually a KGC10 2 door I'm after, ideally I'd love to do a nice tasteful GTR mock up. God knows I couldn't afford a real KPGC10 :banana:

Terry/Duncan - Looks like a nice car, plenty of goodies too! What's the best way to get in contact, might be worth a flight :yes:

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
