AKWIKZ Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 She just got in from Japan. I picked it up a couple days ago. I will be bringing it to the Mossy Nissan show next week.

AKWIKZ Posted November 5, 2004 Author Share Posted November 5, 2004 Actually, no this is not the car that was on e-bay. That one belongs to a friend of mine in L.A. We were both buying our cars at about the same time, but he was able to get an earlier ship to Long Beach. They look similiar, most Skylines of this model do. Nissan only offered this car in white or silver and most of the ones for sale tend to be either one of these colors. Both cars are also GT-R spec too, again as most KGC10 Skylines have been modified over the past 30 odd years. At this point, he says he will be at the Mossy show with his Skyline too. There is one more KGC10 Skyline up in L.A. It is a blue '72. Then, there is a white '71 in Florida. To the best of my knowledge, there are only these four in North America. Now, to answer the first question. I have a friend in Japan that found this car for me. The funny thing is that the actual purchase of the car and the shipping were the easy parts. I simply wired him the money and he bought the car and arranged the shipping. These cars are becoming quite rare now, so it did take him a while to find me a good one under $15K. All told, we spent about three months looking at various cars until we found this one. On this end, there is only a little paperwork you need to do. Anytime you have a shipment with a declared value over $2k, you have to use a Customs broker. You have them fill out the paperwork and tell them the car is over 25 years old. This makes the car exampt from all EPA and DOT requirements. I think I paid about $400 for all of my import duties and the brokers fees. They will then let you know once the car is ready to be picked up from the port. The only other real work you need to do is that you will have to trailer the car over to the DMV as they will need to verify the VIN on the car and fill out the appropriate form. I did this on my way home from the port. Then you just register the car like any other. Let me know if you need more specific info, I'll give you my cell #.

wigenOut-S30 Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 First let me start out by saying.. I LOVE THE hakoska's. What are your plans for the motor? There is also one in Birmingham AL.. he is friends with the guy in Pace FL. It is the silver color.. He bought my stroker block with plans of a high compression stroker in it. He is in the military and over seas right now. Great guy.. he has posted on here before his screen name is greenmonster80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Phailure Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 Thats awesome!!!! Wish i had a GT-R... or a skyline... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKWIKZ Posted November 6, 2004 Author Share Posted November 6, 2004 Thank you all for the compliments. I will get more pics up shortly. As for the engine, it is nothing special right now. Just a stock L20 with triple Solex carbs, header, and real twice pipes all the way to the tail. I do have quite a few parts that will go into it in the near future. I no longer have a Z, I sold it along with all of my other toys (except for my R32 Skyline) in order to buy this Skyline. I did keep all the parts that were destined for my Z though. This includes a mildly built RB26. It has a Tomei head gasket, Nismo turbos, Haltech E6K, Nismo twin disk clutch, Tomei cam gears, Nismo timing belt, Greddy pulleys, and 720cc injectors. I have also kept my 5 lug conversion with Wilwood brakes. I plan to enjoy it as is for a little while, then I'll start the build up. And yes, I am the same Brian that stops by Speed Force. I'll try to bring the car by once I've gotten it registered. Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannji Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 Man, I really wish I lived close enough to see one of those cars.... I cant think of another car of the era that has the same affect on me, except the Z, and that is kinda a different deal. Those cars are beautiful.... and its funny, but your average joe probably wouldnt think so. Its cool that you are pretty much jumping right into violating... I mean hybriding it.... I would be very torn personally about doing so.... so I would have to find two, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest unknownroadster Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 Its about time you got that thing man. Its Ed you probably wont remember me till you see me, maybe once you get that RB in there I can get your KG's motor and put it in my roadster...LOL J/K......Yeah bring it by after you get it reg. You can give some Datsun tips in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
