i didnt have a clue on model so so just mentioned 1977 model.. me bad :)

go the triple webbers "i love the smell of unburnt fuel in the morning"....

isn't she purdy!

yeah i was talking to prank about that earlier, just not sure if we should go out and stick an RB25 in there.. i must admit i know little about the RB20, but i am sure it can hold it's own (but will it give us easy cheap wheel spinning power?!

there was a 240k in brisbane that we unfortunatly missed out on powered by a nissan alloy 4.4L V8 .. hmm... :) it isn't turbo, but interesting none the less!

I have an RB25DE block, crank & rods you can have for free.

Minus head & front tensioner pulley, I need them for my RB30 conversion.

But if you have an RB20, it's the 25 bits you'd need.

Hi Guys, i have been keeping the website updated, but i just wanted to thank a number of people especially who so far have helped or contributed to the project!

Ghostrider - for hooking us up with what will hopefully be a major sponsor

John from Unique Autosports (www.nismo.com.au) - for providing us with a fire extinguish

Zac from Slideways Imports (www.slidewizeimports.com) - for providing a rear GT-R badge

bri33sta (Brie) - for providing a St johns offroad 4x4 first aid kit

Nick - the old owner of the car has also given us a lot of info and a few good spares :)

Thanks to all of you, and any others that are looking or willing to help us (and the kids!) out!. a list of items that we are in need of are located at www.project240k.com/wishlist.html

towards the DR30 rear end you can find them at wreckers or imports but you have to look. you'll be looking at anywhere from $800- $1500 for the full IRS/R200 set up. Ghostrider seems to be the one getting the parts at the good prices at the moment! if you want i could be able to get the irs system from my old mr30, it has a r180 diff centre, theres no calipars though.

Great project guys, we need to keep old Skylines on the road. Unfortunately I sold all mine when my GTR arrived, not enough time or money :cheers:

Anyway, keep an eye on Ebay. I search 'Datsun' every day and you would be surprised at what turns up, including whole 240K's. Recently there was a brand new rear panel complete with a new set of tail lights!

As for the motor, go the triple carby option (already mentioned) as that's what the original 110 GTR had.

One more thing, I'm following an old couple around just waiting for the chance to give them an offer on their car. It's a blue 240 coupe that you would swear came off the showroom floor yesterday. I cream myself every time I see it :wassup:

Was speaking to Christian late last week and have advised, ENTRY FEE is Guaranteed! compliments of Glenford's Tool Stop at Campbelltown, just trying to organise a Sat that we can all get together, but if the cheque is required more urgently, give me a call and I can see what I can arrange.

Tyrepower of Campbelltown have also shown some interest and am waiting on replies from a number of other sources.

HR & DR 30's all had R200 LSD's standard and some C210/211 coupes came fitted with them. The MR30 IRS is easy to get, the hatch will give you disc brake rear end, the cross members are all identical, DR rear trailing arms mount to an MR cross member if DR rear brakes are required, but I would assume the standard MR rear discs would suffice with slotted rotors and EBC pads.

Like you won't be trying to stop from 250+ kph.

Get back to me.

Thanks Dennis,

Wonderful news! that is fantastic, just let us know the date and we will be there! i will be delighted to update the sponsor list!

on the topic of the rear suspension, it sounds like a very good thing to do, and well.. seeing as we have the rear suspension off at the moment anyways (needed new brake cylinder seals and new pads). I was quoted $500 for the DR30 rear end (and $2k for the R200 LSD!), i assume that these are very expensive prices, if you have any idea (or anyone else does?) where we can get these cheaper i would love to know, worse case we can leave the standard parts for now and sort them out later on

Oh, i picked up an RB30E today (from an R31), the search for an RB25DE (complete engine, or top end) and an R32 RB25DE/T computer is now on!

    • If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.
    • Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)  
    • Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...
    • I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...
    • Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
