I want your C110 GTR finished so we can cruise together at least once before my bossy english girlfriend makes me move over to England! I'm about to buy a house so hopefully that will keep her over here for a few years yet. Seriously though I'm really looking forward to seeing yours completed.

Hey Kent stop posting on forums and get in the garage and finish one of your C110's

Hey that's me, I've spent heaps on my K and I live in QLD. The vert has a Z32 rear cradle fitted to get the big R230 diff for burnouts, It would have come back to me today after getting the brake lines done and I would have been able to start it for the 1st time in 2.5 years but we needed a to get a special part to get the line locker fitted and working so it's still at the workshop. It should be back in a couple of days. Also Mastadd I can change my crossmember over and a RB26 will bolt right in, Just need a gearbox mount made up and tailshaft. I recall you weren't too impressed with my engine choice so I thought I'd mention that For the record late model Falcons and Commondors have only just caught up to the the C110 in the Irs department, they have single swingarm irs and it works fine in them, meanwhile Nissan has gone soooo much further in irs tech that holden and ford will probably never catch up. A C110 with new springs, shocks and bushes with big swaybar will handle as good if not better than most new cars, just look at some of the lap times people are getting in their Z's if you don't believe me.

Do it...... It all starts with parts you have lying around or a fast car you went in once. Exhaust is fitted next week and the fuel tank is getting welded as I type so I should have a running V8 datto shortly......stay tuned

Just like to add that I can also now bolt a 360 block straight in which can be stroked out to 427 cubic inches. That could be 7 litres of power in a Little old Datsun Skyline, I value my life so I'll most probably just be sticking with the 6.4litre engine.

Firstly it's not a hemi, I wish it was Madbung understands. Why assume that because you know of a 4.4 mr30 going around that handles like shit that others will? try post that statement on hybridz's and see what happens. There are no japanese V8's that will acomplish what I want, that is an old school pushrod sound and massive cubic inches while still being a small block V8. When the engine is stroked out to a 390/395 it will have 300kw at the wheels and a truck load of torque. 300kw is just 1hp per cube (easy to get with just stage 1 cam) for what I'm bulding and the engine will be a low rpm very reliable unit. I looked long and hard at putting a RB30 with gtr head in as I had a RB30 also sitting in the shed but the cost was far to high for the power/torque I want (also take into account long term reliability fo high reving turbo motor vs lazy v8). The parts for the stroker motor from the US are only 6k The L24 with accessories weighs 389lbs/176 kg The 318 weighs approx 570/258kg with accessories, a difference 0f approx 82 kg. Now when you take into account the alloy heads, alloy intake and alloy water pump I'll be putting on, fuel pump and battery moved into boot, thermo fans instead of engine fan. There is fek all difference in weight, less than a empty vs full tank of gas. The weight is also lower and further back behind the front axel line with only the first two cylinders in front of it which will result in a better weight distribution. I'm also toying with the idea of sitting the radiator further in as there is so much free room now. So taking all this into account Ghostrider please explain to me how my car is going to handle like it has a boat anchor in it and how a japanese v8 could do the same and not cost 3 times as much??????????? Hi Camo, the engine was sitting in the shed among others engines and although what you say is somewhat true I must add that i was in love with the mopar small block due to my VC Valiant being able to do a line lock at 600rpm and just polish the tyre with whips of smoke coming off them. The engines are designed for american suv trucks so they have heaps of torque real low in the rpm range which is what I want. The Nissan V8 fairy did come visit my house but she wanted too much money to perform the lurid acts I wanted from her so i sent her away. I got my arches from Challenge as Camo has suggested, just make sure you tell him to fix his mold on one of the front guards end as it's a dogs breakfast. Other than that they're fine. Thanks for the compliments everyone.

Hi Guys, I've nearly gotten the vert to the stage where it can be registered. List of mods as follows Engine: 318 cubic inch, mild cam not much else Gearbox: std supra 5 speed Roof: gone, grotty canves with flimsy support bars in replace of it. Suprisingly water proof at 130kmh. Rear Suspension: 300zx Z32 twin turbo rear cradle with R230 LSD, body modified to suit Front Suspension/Steering: R31 crossmember rack & pinion, DR30 struts, Z31 hubs Brakes: R32 GTR front rotors 300zx Z32 rear calipers Electrical: Universal wiring harness adapted to suit original controls Body: rear arches cut and welded to accept wider track, same with front. GTR style flares fitted Interior: Standard except for new carpet and gagues I will be registering it like this and then saving for stage 2 of the resto. The next step is to rebuild the engine with forged stroker crank, will become 390 cubic inch 6.4 litre after that. Edelbrock alloy heads, demon carby, roll cage, proper paint job by a panel shop not one from my dusty garage, interior to be redone, trims, seats, roof, nice set of rims. Just need to save up another 15g's and then stage 2 is go.

YEAR: 1973 MODEL: KHGC110 BODY TYPE: Coupe chop top COLOUR: red at this point in time ENGINE: 318 cubic inch

Just so you all know I'm not full of shit here are 2 photo's of both wheels off the ground with only one jack.

(you will never be able to register it if you are really going to put a6.4 or 6.7lt V8 in it.) O ye of little faith. I must ask have you ever modified a car beyond taking it to tempe tyres to get new rims? In regards to your statement about only going straight I would like to make a few points about the engine swap. For a start the stroked smallblock 318/360 will sit further back than the L24 and also lower. This weight will be far better positioned with most of it behind the front wheel line. It will only increase the overall weight by about 70kg Considering the lower ride height, upgraded suspension and brakes I cannot see how it's handling will be lessened from what I'm used to. But then hey maybe you know what your talking about and have measured the engine bay from a 240k to see if a V8 will fit. Maybe you've spent hours talking to engineers about rego requirements, I don't know but somehow I think not. The roll cage is for rego not to hold the roof up. This car has never been around the leichardt area. It was built in the early nineties in Roseberry where it then sat for the next ten years before I put it on the road for one year. It did 190km down foreshore and loved getting flat shifted to 2nd to step out the rear end. The car was built by panelbeaters. It is heavier than one with a roof and can lift both side wheels when a jack is placed in the middle of the sill. It passed it's engineers report with no noticable body deflection at all. I'll be spending about 12k on it with only 1k put aside for a spray job. lol P.s I've been quoted 330kw for 6k if you don't believe me look at w.moparmarket.com search the parts section only, with keywords 360 318 and you'll see how cheap mopar muscle is.

Thought you all might like to see my convertible. It's about to go in for a major rebuild. It's getting a roll cage and a 6.4 or 6.7lt smallblock V8 shoehorned in. Front brakes and steering will r32 gtr.
