Cutting up the centre console, adding mags and webers = saying goodbye to the Arab market. D'oh!

I'd have thought originality would have been the strongest selling point for this car.

Very interesting manufacturer in his description? I wasn't aware N.S.U ever made this model??

Look at the address ....... ummm Minchinbury, sorta says it all for me???

I bet he has heard about Kuwait's silly pricing skills and wants to cash in on it going overseas. I know the GTR look-a-like went to Kuwait for $14500.00 plus all the shipping and the deal was cut after the ebay auction expired, but it was an exceptional car, without opening the bonnet, it was for all intents and purposes a full on GTR. It had the dash, interior, full body kit, badges, rear & lights etc, everything that was a GTR except it still had the original L24 engine.

This 24K car has nothing like it!!!

An interesting point for me is, Shannon's are quite content insuring my factory spec PNV for $30000.00, but they wont go higher than 20000.00 on the modified version and it cost a lot more to make it that way.

Cheers, D

I bet that C110 coupe will go for very good money. Straight, original hub caps, cool vinyl roof... I wouldn't be surprised if the ebay add gets yanked down early actually due to a bit of pre-auction-end-haggling.

Shame they cut the centre console though!

Yeah I thought the same Drew.

I'm constantly getting calls on my mobile from Saudi Arabia, my mobile was listed when I was selling the other 240K.

Please excuse my ignorance but why do they want them over there so much??

anyone spotted good restored 240K or C110 or even old Z's 240, 260 etc?... prefer cars that have already had the work done (good work), don't have to be completely original... even restomod style that might be running modern suspension, brakes motor etc... sorry to upset any purists :thumbsup:

think its time to get rid of the R and get into something with a bit of style... you can't use 95% of the GTR's power on the road anyway

Keep GTR and get another car ;)

Never heard that term "restomod", quite like it!

2 cars fit in the carport and for some reason the Mrs doesn't like parking on the street

yeah restomods are popular in the US with old muscle cars... kinda the best of both worlds, looks great but doesn't drive like a soggy old sponge... ruins the originality and you wouldn't want to do it with a real collectable

I'd still run the original motor, not a huge fan of engine swaps and an L series with big carbs/cams sound brilliant

blk180: yeah that's why I don't want to restore one myself... hard to find good ones that people have put money/time into that they're willing to let go of but if anyone has seen anything let me know

In complete honestly Nick, I'd consider bringing one over from Japan. I've been looking at prices of C110's and C10's and they average 25k-30k for some NICE cars. I'm not sure about import of C110's though as they were locally delivered as the KHGC110 (rather than Japan's KGC110) but maybe it doesn't matter due to age. Some HOT C10's around....mmmmm.

As much as I'd love to see another classic being built, your car has character about it-it would be a real shame to see it go.

I don't like your chances of finding a half restored (to the level you're after) one around here. Better luck overseas. That C110 on eBay is a good base to start with given its complete but don't forget that these things are rare as in decent order locally, it's a case of beggars can't be choosers

A full house L series? Drooooooooool!

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
