JMT240KGTR

I commend your work Peter I, it's always been in the back of mind to attempt this conversion in a 240K. What seems like a natural progression to improving the drive of an auto L6, the conversion isn't that popular, everyone goes the manual conversion. When I had an auto 240K this was the path I was going to go down, but eventually I had to sell. Great work nonetheless, keep the car original spec, plus the bonus of a more pleasant, economical drive!

R30 Skyline non power steering coupling should do the trick, similar if not identical steering box to C110/210's etc.

If bottom end is in good order, and you've still got factory bore/hone marks within cylinders (ie not glazed) plus good compression, you should be ok for a while. Otherwise, with what you've done, I'd also replace the stem seals for sure. If you don't have the head off, get a shop to do it, or you can try yourself with a compressor & spark plug adaptor. What head you running,, early type? I'm not sure on valve seat specs for C210. If early type, get a shop to replace valve seats or, get an R30 head, or even just buy yourself a 'valve saver' lube kit, fit it in line btwn carb & distributor, it'll save the head from dramas.
