I recently took the plunge and purchased this in Japan..
Car is a 1976 KGC110 Skyline, L20 Engine with Triple Mikuni Solex Carbs, Squatting on RS-Watanabe wheels.
It took me 18 months to find one within my budget, for anybody who knows the Classic Japanese market very well, they will know that these have absolutely rocketed in price in recent years and are already becoming a little bit 'out of reach' in terms of their values.
They only made 197 GT-R Versions of this car, Purely Japanese Domestic Market only.. The Japanese are very reluctant to sell these cars outside of Japan now due to their rarity and history within Japan and it was a real challenge buying this one.
My *soon to do* Plans are as follows :
-Lower the car more
-New Interior Carpets/Mats
-Rebuilt L30 Engine going in
-Front Splitter to be fitted
There are more jobs to do yet, little bits and pieces around the car, so stay tuned!
Here are some photos from it on the docks at Japan :
The car was purchased from Hokkaido and Transported to Kobe, where it was brought over on the ship by Torque GT.
Here is the car in the UK, On the back of the transporter to be delivered to me :
The weather has been shocking this weekend, So I haven't managed to get any more photos as of yet, but i'll be posting updates of the work I will undertake on the car right here.
