Considering Buying A Kpcg10 - Help/tips

[adznight]

Hi all, I'm looking to take a bit of a step back in time, I'm selling my R34 and am currenlty looking at a KPCG10 GTR replica.

In all honesty I don't know a whole lot about them but I really like them. I'm not seeing a whole lot of info around on them, it's almost like not many people in Australia have them.

Can anyone give me any good advice or point me in the direction of good web pages etc?

Thanks in advance!

I'm also curious, what has to be done for "compliance" on these older cars. I'm very familer with the new models, but not these. I didn't think there was compliance as such.

there was a site which one of j-spec's customers ran, dedicated to oldschool jap cars, but i forgot the URL

try japanesenostalgiccar.com for info.

as for compliance, not much has to be done, just a roadworthy and an engineer's inspection. if its pre 1978 it doesn't haev to be RHD, if its pre 1983 (i think, not sure) it doesn't have to meet some EPA requirements, and if its a lil older it doesn't have to meet any. Not sure on the year the rules kick in though. can check if you want.

Adz, send craig (J-Spec Imports) a PM on sau, he'll respond eventually.

Yeah I had a feeling there would be little, if no cost in compliance. I mean I could sort the roadworthy etc out myself

I mean at the end of the days it's a pre 75 car so I confident they'll just say yup, no worries

[funkymonkey]

as long as there's no structural rust etc you should be fine.

Might sound silly but what can he help me with in particular? Should I just say I was refered to him by you and that I'm looking for information regarding the purchase of a KPCG110?

[blind_elk]

Noel is a guru of the old-school Skyline. If he doesn't know what you need, he should know who does.

Check out this thread on Japanese Nostalgic car.... I think the car might actually be from melbourne aswell.

>>>Project Hakosuka<<<

Hi Adzmax,

There are seven in Australia (known). Two basically unmolested KGC10s, four GT-R replicas, one of which may be for sale (Sydney) . These have been built in Japan from either a standard GT or GT-X. In W.A. one radical ,big flares, big wheels, loooow, etc also may be for sale. See C-red tuning, is also an importer of Japanese parts .

Have a good read of Kevs Hakosuka rebuild thread. Throw some questions to Kev. He has recently done what you propose. All care was taken to source a good car through a (still!) respected importer. Kevs is not the only case like this. It is a risky business, I was just plain lucky.

KGC10 = 1971-72 Nissan Skyline GT 2 door ( & GT-X)

KPGC10 = 1971-2 Nissan Skyline GT-R. The real deal with the S20 and the other 10,000 parts that make it GT-R, around $100,000 in round figures for what I would call a good car.

I can put you in contact with the owner of the car that MAY be for sale in Sydney.....or is it a KGC110 your after?!

Cheers

that would be nathan from Mt White automotive's car, and it is in beautiful condition. give him a call directly if you are genuinely interested. I would love to have the space to buy it.

Hey all, have missed the added posts in the this thread

72GT - Still learning about these cars, yes it's actually a KGC10 2 door I'm after, ideally I'd love to do a nice tasteful GTR mock up. God knows I couldn't afford a real KPGC10

Terry/Duncan - Looks like a nice car, plenty of goodies too! What's the best way to get in contact, might be worth a flight
