[sim16v]

Stunning!

Is that the one with the Skyline based race engine?

[anonymous-user]

Same engine as used in the Hakosuka Skyline GT-R.

[Reciprocating mass]

Lovely

That's one on my list for a lottery garage.



Thanks for posting. It looks to be all original, is that the case?.

I think only the wheels are not factory original. Rest is stock. You wouldn't believe what it's just been sold for.

I know what the last two sold at auction have gone for, so it's just a question of whether the six numbers in the figure begin with a 1 or a 2...?

Yeah, I think I can looking at the condition of it in the photos...

Kudos to the owner though, hope he's bought it to enjoy it, and rag the arse of it every now and again, its what that glorious engine deserves

I think I've missed the boat on an original Hakosuka Skyline now

Quite a lot of details clearly not stock. Engine bay shot alone shows missing factory airbox, duct & air filter housing, missing air tube ducts (R/H side unique to 432), non-stock ignition system, non-stock suspension strut tops, missing factory data plate (and why are the holes for it on the R/H strut tower and not the L/H? ... that's pretty worrying... ), painted-over firewall details and lots of other little clues.

Outside shots show missing factory Kobe Seiko magnesium wheels and non-OEM bumpers (missing rubbers/rubber mount holes).

Is the owner 100% sure of what he has bought? I'm happy to see more S20-powered cars arrive in the UK, but it's a very specialised purchase and you need to know what you are dealing with.

Not sure on any of the above. As said, just landed. Has plenty spares with it.
