Twas a while ago and my memory = seriously bad at the best of times due to to many knocks to the head, but am pretty sure it was the engine/running gear out of a 280z. And 240k's are Australian, my C111 was a bonafide skyline straight from godzillatown. Sorry for going off topic btw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for going off topic btw! 240K's are "Export" versions of the Skyline, they went to many places, England, the rest of Europe, the Middle East, Australia and New Zealand as well. Just wanted to clear that up. The only distinctly Australian 240K is the 240KGL and that was only rebadged due to the supercar insruance scare at the time.

Guest Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Running a carbied L26 straight 6 2.6L out of a Nissan 260z. Who needs a memory when it's all right here! - //oldschool.co.nz/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=3494 EDIT: From your old car's discussion thread... Another guess of mine is that, that engine is out of a 260C and not a Z at all, one would think that if you were putting a Zengine in, you'd also make use of the twin SU carbs, whereas that's a standard single 2BBL Hitachi. So, therefore, your Skyline, which you claimed to be not that slow, does have the same engine as mine. So my car is less power-lacking than your guys's L20E whatnot. Or so you say or something. Back on topic: You do plan on replacing those wheels Mark? Uuugly IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark105 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 haha yeh, im not sure whats the story with the TSW's, wasnt even supposed to be comming with the car but he hasnt taken them off yet... so dunno. hate trying to find mags tiz hard work lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solidstripe Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Wondered where that had got to!! Long time no see!! Yeah, that was it, L26 engine with 280z running gear, thus the confusion. It's all coming back. Dam I loved that car when it wasn't breaking down!! Sorry for going totally OT dude. Getting back to it - definatly change the wheels!! It's worth the hassle of searching!!

mark105 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 the old girl made it home, was getting a bit worried at couple of points that she wouldnt, not sure whats up, starts sweet when its cold but when it warms up n you switch her off and leave it for a couple of minutes she wont start again. tryed a few things, left it for bout 10 15 mins and wriggle the cas plug into the dizzy n she starts up again. might go over the wiring as all the wiring for the ecu n stuff isnt very tidy. but yeh mean, pics tomorrow.
