Cutting up the centre console, adding mags and webers = saying goodbye to the Arab market. D'oh!

I'd have thought originality would have been the strongest selling point for this car.

Very interesting manufacturer in his description? I wasn't aware N.S.U ever made this model??

Look at the address ....... ummm Minchinbury, sorta says it all for me???

I bet he has heard about Kuwait's silly pricing skills and wants to cash in on it going overseas. I know the GTR look-a-like went to Kuwait for $14500.00 plus all the shipping and the deal was cut after the ebay auction expired, but it was an exceptional car, without opening the bonnet, it was for all intents and purposes a full on GTR. It had the dash, interior, full body kit, badges, rear & lights etc, everything that was a GTR except it still had the original L24 engine.

This 24K car has nothing like it!!!

An interesting point for me is, Shannon's are quite content insuring my factory spec PNV for $30000.00, but they wont go higher than 20000.00 on the modified version and it cost a lot more to make it that way.

Cheers, D

I bet that C110 coupe will go for very good money. Straight, original hub caps, cool vinyl roof... I wouldn't be surprised if the ebay add gets yanked down early actually due to a bit of pre-auction-end-haggling.

Shame they cut the centre console though!

Yeah I thought the same Drew.

I'm constantly getting calls on my mobile from Saudi Arabia, my mobile was listed when I was selling the other 240K.

Please excuse my ignorance but why do they want them over there so much??

anyone spotted good restored 240K or C110 or even old Z's 240, 260 etc?... prefer cars that have already had the work done (good work), don't have to be completely original... even restomod style that might be running modern suspension, brakes motor etc... sorry to upset any purists :thumbsup:

think its time to get rid of the R and get into something with a bit of style... you can't use 95% of the GTR's power on the road anyway

Keep GTR and get another car ;)

Never heard that term "restomod", quite like it!

2 cars fit in the carport and for some reason the Mrs doesn't like parking on the street

yeah restomods are popular in the US with old muscle cars... kinda the best of both worlds, looks great but doesn't drive like a soggy old sponge... ruins the originality and you wouldn't want to do it with a real collectable

I'd still run the original motor, not a huge fan of engine swaps and an L series with big carbs/cams sound brilliant

blk180: yeah that's why I don't want to restore one myself... hard to find good ones that people have put money/time into that they're willing to let go of but if anyone has seen anything let me know

In complete honestly Nick, I'd consider bringing one over from Japan. I've been looking at prices of C110's and C10's and they average 25k-30k for some NICE cars. I'm not sure about import of C110's though as they were locally delivered as the KHGC110 (rather than Japan's KGC110) but maybe it doesn't matter due to age. Some HOT C10's around....mmmmm.

As much as I'd love to see another classic being built, your car has character about it-it would be a real shame to see it go.

I don't like your chances of finding a half restored (to the level you're after) one around here. Better luck overseas. That C110 on eBay is a good base to start with given its complete but don't forget that these things are rare as in decent order locally, it's a case of beggars can't be choosers

A full house L series? Drooooooooool!

      R34 Diff oil

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.

      R34 Diff oil

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.

      Short shifter r34

      By Duncan · Posted

      How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
