This is them!

They are prone to rust, so check your new baby over carefully, and cut out any corrosion pronto. There are a ton of other model skylines to poach parts from. Are you thinking of keeping it stock, or modifying?

hey a local!

you've come to the right place mate. what do u plan to do with it??

i go to the sunny coast semi-often. id love to see your beast some time. is it that white one from ebay last week??

Coupe i want to know why your bonnets are so rust free :thumbsup: and how much power the white girl is making?

Ha ha! Having owned a handfull of rusty Datsuns and Hondas I made sure to hang onto the two really rust-free and original examples that I found over the years! Also I keep them under cover, and have a mate who is handy with a welder, so when the inevitable bubble pops up it gets cut out and burnt at the stake as a warning to corrosion in general.

The white car makes 0 horsepower as it doesn't run at the moment (see timing fail post). If I can get the damn thing started it's going straight to Lam's automotive in Daylesford to get the cam dialled and timed, the new triples jetted and rebuilt if necessary, and then the whole lot tuned on a dyno. You can bet Ill be posting the results as soon as I get them. Previous best with (hateful) English SU carbies on a smokey L26 was an ok but basically unthrilling 140hp at the rear wheels. Hopefully a fresh, triple Dell'ortoed, flat-topped pistoned L28 is going to put out a bit more than that. However... I think the car is fun to drive mostly thanks to a close-ratio 5-speed and 4.8:1 LSD. Not a huge top end, but it accelerates a treat!

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
