kyteler Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 You're basically correct. The C10 is the first 'Nissan Skyline' but is the 3rd generation Skyline. The last of the S50 series were badged as Nissan Prince Skyline in much the same way the Gloria's of the era were. The first Gen. Prince Skyline was sold over here as was the second gen. Third (C10) wasn't but then the Fourth (C110) was sold as the Datsun 240KGT. (and 240KGL out of Australia) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Giz a geez at your setup? Seems strange that you can't find anything. I can check around a few places but it may open up your options if the 10 shares these parts with the 110. They're a super popular car so getting them ex-Japan shouldn't be an issue if it leads to that. @mlracing.co.nzmight have had to get some for his so may know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicker Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Would all be same as S30 too eh? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Maybe not. The Z car is a Nissan product and the Skyline was still developed by Prince inside of Nissan so there's a chance that they're put together from different parts bins. Hopefully not though as access to Z parts is the easiest of all Datsuns. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolsHusband Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 @kyteler, looking at rubber-soul's site I think the rears are the same as yours and I have it in my head that pads are the same as the Hilux, I even have a feeling the calipers are a straight-ish swap. i may have to go and have a look on JNC if it's still there, i think they had a Hako compatibility thread running before all the hako owners fucked off ! As you just said, I don't think much S30 stuff fits. I'm a virgin as far as buying stuff from Japan goes. One car and a few CD's from Amazon japan. The importers I've spoken to here get a bit vague when it comes to the older stuff. Getting flashbacks to when I was first hunting the car....

kyteler Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 For basic small stuff like this using Jesse Streeter shouldn't be a problem. Find the items you want, send him a message with the links and pay a bit more. If it's the same as Z stuff or even Bluebird or Violet stuff then RockAuto or even https://zcardepot.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I wouldn't be so sure about the Hilux lark, the only thing I've ever heard about that is the use of them on Z cars but they're heavy as fuvk and require modifications. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KP_wag Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Hope you took revenge on the rat. Little fawkers did the same to my steering wheel and shifter last winter. Console in yer thing less replaceable than hilux bits tho - bastids 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 That reminds me. Measure up your centre console lid. If it's the same dimensions as the 110 I can send you a spare I have. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostchips Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 A rich guy i know had someone carve a plywood center console & had it covered to look orig'. If you run out of options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolsHusband Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 I'd thought about filling & covering it in suede or vinyl on something. We'll see if KY's one is the same and if not, I'll have to get a bit creative. Maybe I could cast one up in resin with cherry blossom & glitter trapped inside. JDM as fuck, etc. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, can still get the parts easy from Japan, also you can bolt up Hilux 4 pots to the front without issue just need different lines made up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underside looks very similar to my 510 but the exhaust runs through the crossmember. Have wondered if that way would work but it always looked too close to the ground? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Good old flappy arm suspension. On the 110 there's a little raised section for the exhaust, maybe only 10mm, the 10 might be the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepers Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 From what I know of Richie's H220 I'm going to guess that the caliper is the same as MS65 crown if that's any help to you. The is other toyotas that share that caliper but I can't think what it is, maybe early Corona? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
