kramerbuccs24 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I don't know much besides that it is going to cost you $$$$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboHLS30 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 you must be stinking rich to even think about cutting up a skyline.....for the money that your gonna pay for that you might as well just keep the skyline and sell the Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi303 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 240C or 260C eh? $2000 USD to buy one and around $2000 USD for shipping and I could probably have one on a ship heading to the US there's a 1971 240C on trademe.co.nz Now and a 1978 260C makes you wish you didn't live in the home of the Mustang and the land of the Camaro doesn't it ah well, enough rubbing salt into your wounds seriously, if you really want one and have a few grand to spare, they are around here. If you join the NZ Datsun club forum you may be able to source a rear-ended and insurance-totaled one and organise shipping. Even with shipping from NZ, thats probably going to work out hellaciously cheaper than buying one in the US to hack up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monster260z Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 They also came out in new zealand as the 240k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkumaNoZeta Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 To me it just looks like an old Charger or Challenger so maybe you could work something out from that. Maybe get the front end from one of them and take out a section from the middle to make it narrower. Personally I MUCH prefer the earlier Skyline.

vashonz Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Over here it's called a Datsun B210. They're around, they're cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vega Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 so the skyline in the state was the b210? what about the older 69-72 body did we ever get that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piston Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 thats one sick b210!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neotech84 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 so the skyline in the state was the b210? what about the older 69-72 body did we ever get that? No check the Wiki's out. The B210 and Skyline..... i guess what you see the same is the rear roof line. The closest Datsun to the skyline in the US is the 810 (actually a direct relative) but it has square head lights. If you are going to all the trouble just get a 620 grill and make it fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
