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

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:

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
