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.

That's right! get out your angle grinder and your welder!

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).

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
