Yeah KGC10 Old School Cool FTW!!

I rallied one of those S54's years ago

Bought 2 for $500 ( a GTA and a GTB)

The years have not diminished my memories of how horrid a car they were.

Parts were a nightmare with Nissan parts guys hiding whenever I came in looking for bits

Internet nowadays could solve a lot of that problem now

But must say that one in carsales looks in far better nick than the one I had

What CSA said X2.

....But if you do buy remember you are buying a hobby. Without the Prince register network it can be a long and lonely road when the inherent characteristics of what is now a very rare 40+ year old car come to light. An enthusiast will experience a rare joy that goes with the ownership of a classic Skyline GT-B, and this one is one of the best out there.

A couple of weeks ago I spotted a KGC10 GTR or maybe look-a-like on the M5 heading north towards the M7 interchange, rego 3300 H or K in a bronzy gold colour. Looked grewat from where I was and in excellent condition.

Yes! One of the four KGC10's in Sydney at the moment. All Silver KPGC10 look a likes. That particular one you saw is running in a new motor. All straight 6's with triple twin choke side draughts. I like to think of them as GT-Bs a few years on :P

      Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.

      Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true

      Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
