1965 Prince GTB(Skyline)

With my C110 project coming to a end the hunt was on for the next "project" and this Prince just happen to fall into my hands 

 

This one is sadly missing the stock motor but with a Red top RB20 and 970kg weight should prove a fun car

Car is not breaking real well so going to do Volvo upgraded.

There was some vibrations at 80kmph seems to be the tail shaft so going to do a custom one piece. When I jacked it up to check tailshaft found the fuel line runs along side the tailshaft so needs moving. 

Not sure the LSD is working probably as well. 

Then the motor has a bit of a miss, would love to get a intercooler of some sorts in there too will see.

New tailshaft in seems much better now

OEM prince rears only probably last this last change.IMG_4972.thumb.JPG.83df1ca3472096880b564b99ee27f719.JPG

New dual set up to work with the new Volvo fronts 

 

Strange old school quirk the left hand side wheels nuts are left hand thread and right hand side right hand thread. I'm lucky I didn't snap a stud before I worked it out

Nope it would not have been easy at all, my plan was to make a custom 3/4 triple core radiator and use the other 1/4 space for a small in intercooler. CB12ED95-6FEA-44B4-BD3C-7DE2D53B7B1F.thumb.jpeg.d51fe07c177210a2f5fde2222eb9ebe9.jpeg

but I decide to change the motor in my other car and will now be putting the motor out of it into the Prince DD911671-96F3-44DC-A86B-D8E6F00C6AE3.thumb.jpeg.1f8a18cae6bf98da8b536933660e0091.jpeg

this motor makes around 175-180hp mark so will be a little more the RB and make all the right sounds with the triple Webber’s

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
