Just to add something - there are many more differences between export C110's and the domestic GT-R than those mentioned above! Most are pretty subtle, but some are substantial - e.g. the GT-R had rear disc brakes.

Good luck with your project, I have tried to go the right way and get the most authentic parts possible, but it is not easy. Still searching for C110 rear quarter "GT" badges... GT-R bucket seats???? Worth more than a 240K - per seat.

Tom, I think the SR makes a lot of sense. As you probably have noticed the engine sits fairly forward in the C110 and it does suffer from understeer unless you provoke it into oversteer... I can imagine handling might improve with a 4-pot, but we'll have to see what Mikey says first :)

my lil daily driver revs quite nicely in the RB20DE with extractors. Looked into getting triple side draft's in, but it requires a AFM to MAP sensor setup, which is a bit of a shit. Guys I've spoken to who've built the N/A engines up (predominantly in japan and one in malaysia) prefer to use an RB26 single intake individual throttle body setup, with an adapter, which is now available over the counter at some stores for about $700.

I reckon an SR20DE out of an S15 would be a better solution, from memory Nissan released a limited edition that did more power than the turbo version out of the factory.

I'm also writing up an article on a Jap made RB30DE engine which does a higher top speed and more power than a stock RB26DETT. Might be worth a read.

Thanks for the help guys...will keep you posted on what we come up with. Would love to keep it n/a to keep that old school theme all round.

Hi there/ My name is Prince (Ray). I dont get on the site often. However have been watching the reply's in relation to the KPGC110. I have one of the origonal. It is Vinned as a GT-R. In fact it was a GT-X2000.

I run a RB20 with tripple Webers. Someone said they are dogs. Wrong they are Sleepy dogs and it goes. My 2 door has most of the things that you are trying to emulate. The open front grille, the tail-lights are completely different to the Ausie 240K body. The dash and console is polished aluminium as some one said. It has 4 wheel disc brakes and rear stabilizer. Rear spoiler, factory over-fenders. (as some people think that the #43 as in Prince Museum that it has the origonal fenders they are WRONG as they were for the factory race cars only. They had 8 inch front and 9 inch rear. As a matter of fact mein rnus factory 6 inch front and 7 inch rear. Don't think you can fit them as they actually had to cut away the outer lip to the rear guards, hence the over-fender. The track at the rear is 98mm wider than the standard 240K as we see them. I have now gathered over the last few years cd's and video's from Nostalgic Hero's that show the cars in their glory. Also the battery is not on the drivers side as is in the 240K. I have fitted the RB20 to 4 and 5 speed gearbox's out of the 1973 model. The four speed is a much stronger box and the ratios are also better. The motor runs on a EMS computer. The origonal tacho also works of the RB20 as do all the gauges. I have a S20 motor and am waiting for a mate of mine to bring back some parts and that will go in. If you have ever seen the engine bay of a KPGC110 GT-R 1973 then you would be hard pressed to pick the difference except for the module to the front of the motor for the timing. Oh yeh it has distributer and coil with the plug leads into the top centre between the cam covers.

I can possibly help with information if you require. I also have origonal paperwork, body and mechanical manuals (although they are in Japanese) for the GT-R. Maybe you could contact me

Regards Prince. Oh the Prince stands for another car I treasure a Prince Skyline GTB 1966.

How'd you go with lowering the rear, Lachlan? Any dramas with tyres rubbing on the guards?

Hi mate, lowering went well - wouldn't want it any lower (maybe 1cm at the front though :crazy: and I was left with camber that would make a Japanese drifter proud. The rears JUST rub when you corner really hard. It's a pity, but I'm not too worried. Just wish they listened to me in the first place! :)

Any progress on yours Peter?

Slowly stripping it, and accumulating parts for it. Now have front brakes mostly sorted, new front struts (sold the old ones to Jeff), and have a pair of turbos for it.

In the midst of some major changes on the personal front (might be going to USA for 6 months, as well as looking at building a new house) so the K will have to take a back seat for several months.

Still have to get around to sending the wheels down to you. Haven't had a chance to get time off work for a while.

Lachlan: Looks better now it's lowered. If the excess camber causes problems, it can be remedied with a few small mods (as per my earlier PM's to you).

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
