RadioRedline Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Buying a used set is almost impossible, and what i've found $ wise isn't wise! If you own one of these, lets chat! Trying to fab up a set of Skyline Taillamps. All I want is someone with a 1973-74 ish Second Gen Datsun Skyline to throw me some measurements..and maybe detailed-er pics? Many Many Thanks!

sssr20det510 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Good Luck, you would be better off going to a skyline forum, what do you want to put them on Quote Link to comment
RadioRedline Posted February 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I'm doing my red truck, not red for much longer, into a skyline rb20det powered and want some gt-r looks Radio Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 you would have better luck and easier fab time with r32 tails Quote Link to comment
MAG58 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 you would have better luck and easier fab time with r32 tails It would probably be much cheaper as well. Quote Link to comment
RadioRedline Posted February 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I've thought and looked at r32, r33 tails...not what im after b/c the 1974 pickup that I have, should have era correct gt-r (2nd gen) looks, to make it seem "What could have been!" :lol: What happened to "yes we can? ...oh yeah" Radio Motor Trend 1974 think: Mazda Rotary Pickup Vs. all-New Datsun GT-R Pickup! I know I know! Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 You can buy these out of Japan, no problem. Not hard to find. Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 You should get the 1974 Skyline engine too That would be the most "period correct" inline six Might as well swap the skyline rear suspension also...... that would be awesome... :frantics: _________________ Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 the 1974 Skyline engine It is just an L20 straight six, nothing much special. The great one was the 1972-1973 first year C110 S20 DOHC version (the GT-R engine). You might buy one for $12-15k now (just the engine), reportedly only 197 made yet weighs 11 pounds less than ford 302. Oh and most of those with "R" badges in Japan are clones. Quote Link to comment
RadioRedline Posted February 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Where out of Japan? Do they have ebay? Radio Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Nah, nonah ebay. Yahoo Auctions are the big one. Very expensive. But not so common used, try a Skyline specialty shop. Quote Link to comment
sick620 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 just try 620 taillights they are way cooler! Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I think the round tail lights would be cool. Put the large ones in the corners, with the small ones right in the tailgate. Try to keep them kinda flush like in the original C110. C110 tail lamp Quote Link to comment
DeRuX Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Found these on Yahoo japan only at about $55 right now. If you are going to cut them up anyway. http://page5.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/e96962212 You can contact this place to get them for you http://bidschoice.com/ Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 do want! Iv been dreaming about a set of thos on my 240z for a long time. It is just an L20 straight six, nothing much special. The great one was the 1972-1973 first year C110 S20 DOHC version (the GT-R engine). You might buy one for $12-15k now (just the engine), reportedly only 197 made yet weighs 11 pounds less than ford 302. lol good luck finding an S20, there the same motor the FairladyZ 432 had and there scarce. theres a dude in cali with a few 432's and extra motors but I doubt hes going to let them go Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 It is just an L20 straight six, nothing much special. I know,,, but it would be my first choice for an awesome 620 motor swap. It seems like the best inline six money can buy. look Radio: I found you a skyline engine: http://sacramento.craigslist.org/pts/1582687653.html :poop: Quote Link to comment
