[The C110]

You could be a little sacreligious and just go for an sr20det? I know of a guy in the states doing it to his c110 coupe...

[Alfadog]

Just to add something - there are many more differences between export C110's and the domestic GT-R than those mentioned above! Most are pretty subtle, but some are substantial - e.g. the GT-R had rear disc brakes.

Good luck with your project, I have tried to go the right way and get the most authentic parts possible, but it is not easy. Still searching for C110 rear quarter "GT" badges... GT-R bucket seats???? Worth more than a 240K - per seat.

Tom, I think the SR makes a lot of sense. As you probably have noticed the engine sits fairly forward in the C110 and it does suffer from understeer unless you provoke it into oversteer... I can imagine handling might improve with a 4-pot, but we'll have to see what Mikey says first

my lil daily driver revs quite nicely in the RB20DE with extractors. Looked into getting triple side draft's in, but it requires a AFM to MAP sensor setup, which is a bit of a shit. Guys I've spoken to who've built the N/A engines up (predominantly in japan and one in malaysia) prefer to use an RB26 single intake individual throttle body setup, with an adapter, which is now available over the counter at some stores for about $700.

I reckon an SR20DE out of an S15 would be a better solution, from memory Nissan released a limited edition that did more power than the turbo version out of the factory.

I'm also writing up an article on a Jap made RB30DE engine which does a higher top speed and more power than a stock RB26DETT. Might be worth a read.

Thanks for the help guys...will keep you posted on what we come up with. Would love to keep it n/a to keep that old school theme all round.

Hi there/ My name is Prince (Ray). I dont get on the site often. However have been watching the reply's in relation to the KPGC110. I have one of the origonal. It is Vinned as a GT-R. In fact it was a GT-X2000.

I run a RB20 with tripple Webers. Someone said they are dogs. Wrong they are Sleepy dogs and it goes. My 2 door has most of the things that you are trying to emulate. The open front grille, the tail-lights are completely different to the Ausie 240K body. The dash and console is polished aluminium as some one said. It has 4 wheel disc brakes and rear stabilizer. Rear spoiler, factory over-fenders. (as some people think that the #43 as in Prince Museum that it has the origonal fenders they are WRONG as they were for the factory race cars only. They had 8 inch front and 9 inch rear. As a matter of fact mein rnus factory 6 inch front and 7 inch rear. Don't think you can fit them as they actually had to cut away the outer lip to the rear guards, hence the over-fender. The track at the rear is 98mm wider than the standard 240K as we see them. I have now gathered over the last few years cd's and video's from Nostalgic Hero's that show the cars in their glory. Also the battery is not on the drivers side as is in the 240K. I have fitted the RB20 to 4 and 5 speed gearbox's out of the 1973 model. The four speed is a much stronger box and the ratios are also better. The motor runs on a EMS computer. The origonal tacho also works of the RB20 as do all the gauges. I have a S20 motor and am waiting for a mate of mine to bring back some parts and that will go in. If you have ever seen the engine bay of a KPGC110 GT-R 1973 then you would be hard pressed to pick the difference except for the module to the front of the motor for the timing. Oh yeh it has distributer and coil with the plug leads into the top centre between the cam covers.

I can possibly help with information if you require. I also have origonal paperwork, body and mechanical manuals (although they are in Japanese) for the GT-R. Maybe you could contact me

Regards Prince. Oh the Prince stands for another car I treasure a Prince Skyline GTB 1966.

http://justmurph.com/classiczcar/kpgc110roadtest.pdf

I think its 2.9MB

its a road test and other stuff from magazines and newspapers. Pretty rare to have an english language reveiw of a Japanese Domestic Market only model like the C110 GT-R.

That's right! get out your angle grinder and your welder!

[Alfadog]

Then get out your flares!

[YO880]

haha, nice one

[The C110]

Looking much better lach, thats with the rear lowered a little more i imagine? Hows the camber?

[Alfadog]

Not good! But she corners so well. So, so well...

[Adam_RSX]

Sex.... Pure sex

[warps]

Yep, I can vouch for that - it looks just as good in the flesh!! I'm inspired again!!

How'd you go with lowering the rear, Lachlan? Any dramas with tyres rubbing on the guards?

[hrd-hr30]

sigh - that's exactly what I want... its looking great Lachlan

I'll have to cull a couple of cars before I can get another 240K coupe or get a big shed

[Adam_RSX]

Any progress on yours Peter?

[Alfadog]

Hi mate, lowering went well - wouldn't want it any lower (maybe 1cm at the front though :crazy: and I was left with camber that would make a Japanese drifter proud. The rears JUST rub when you corner really hard. It's a pity, but I'm not too worried. Just wish they listened to me in the first place!

[warps]

Any progress on yours Peter?

Slowly stripping it, and accumulating parts for it. Now have front brakes mostly sorted, new front struts (sold the old ones to Jeff), and have a pair of turbos for it.

In the midst of some major changes on the personal front (might be going to USA for 6 months, as well as looking at building a new house) so the K will have to take a back seat for several months.

Still have to get around to sending the wheels down to you. Haven't had a chance to get time off work for a while.

Lachlan: Looks better now it's lowered. If the excess camber causes problems, it can be remedied with a few small mods (as per my earlier PM's to you).

[Adam_RSX]

A pair of turbos....... How much bloody torque do you want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats going to change the direction of the earths rotation when you floor it!
