ggzilla Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Was that badged as a Datsun in your country? In USA and Japan they were badged as Nissan Cedric (only sold for 3 years in USA). 1 Quote Link to comment

windowless66 Posted March 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Wow, looks cool. Never even seen a pic of one of those. Me neither that's why I bought it I like having something a bit different. Parts will just be a bit harder to find. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Looks somewhat like a '60s ford Falcon... sort of. I love it! Taillights are like the european '69 and up 510 1 Quote Link to comment

Taillights are like the european '69 and up 510 Yeah the side indent and fake bonnet scoop are very falcon like and the front and rear quarters/fenders are similar to a Hr holden. Getting more attached each day :P Quote Link to comment
windowless66 Posted March 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Picked up a gearbox locally, 240K 5 spd. If anyone knows more about it I'd like the info. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 There is not a single 240K here in America. But that looks like a 71B transmission. 1 Quote Link to comment

Yeah I like to rub in all the cars that you didn't get :P but you did get bigger engines in most things so we'll call it even :( . The bell housing has L8 cast into it and the sandwich plate has an A. I'll have a hunt on google just leting you know Quote Link to comment
dukerollo Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Super cool car. What direction are you going to go with it? Quote Link to comment
windowless66 Posted April 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Super cool car. What direction are you going to go with it? Wanting to go a bit of a muscle car cruiser with a lumpy L6, Respray and just clean up the interior. Not sure whether to keep the original colour and white roof still early days but I've got a few ideas. Quote Link to comment
windowless66 Posted April 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Ebuys! Should come in handy :) Quote Link to comment
RATX5 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I guess you learn something every day: had no clue that the Cedric was badged as a Datsun in Australia. The interior looks to be in damn good condition, as well. How are the floorboards? Quote Link to comment

windowless66 Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Picked up some wheels for the rear today at the local swap. Had a feeling when I bought them but they have a tad too much offset. Might have to swap them for some with less lip or get them rebarreled :P 1 Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 I really like the "almost" Lincoln Continental emblem on the hub caps. Two "ells" in a rectangle, not a "cross" inside a rectangle. 1 Quote Link to comment
windowless66 Posted June 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Picked up a cheap L26 from a 260z supposed to be a good runner...Finding bits a bit quicker than I thought. Quote Link to comment
supersix man Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 you will fall in love with this car I have 3 a 1969-70 and a 1971 2 of these are under resto and the other is a parts car good luck. by the way if you put the 260z in you may have problems with the sump as the 2300 engine is back to frount to the 2400 2600 and the 2800 it can be done maybe a 240c sump will come close 1 Quote Link to comment

Do you have any build threads or photos? So hard to find anything on these cars unless you speak Japanese. Have to catch up when I get it on the road, We do a few Geelong trips :) Quote Link to comment
supersix man Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 It depends on what you are needing Quote Link to comment
windowless66 Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 It depends on what you are needing Hi Supersix, Needing a stainless strip from drivers side sill, a personal six ps rear door card, probably a few other little bits too. I like to get a hold of an aircon, mine had one but its been removed. I need a good set of sills but might be easier to just get some made up. If you had a spare L23 I'd probably be interested be nice to have spares and rebuild my L23. Anything you could help out with would be appreciated though. Quote Link to comment
windowless66 Posted March 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 Not much of an update but picked up a supersix for bits its all there. Had allof the bits I needed for mine which was mainly windscreen, Disk brakes,Aircon and the L24 with auto & tailshaft. Bit of a facelift just for comparison. 1 Quote Link to comment
mountpanorama Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 I've just done a paddock rescue of a 2300 Personal Six. It's rough but a restorer. Among the items I need to get this up and going are bumpers, boot lid & bonnet, bumpers and some badges. Still assessing the repair of doors & guards. Do you supersix man or windowless66 have any to sell or know where I might try next. I'm in Mount Gambier so not all that far from Geelong supersix man. I also have a 2000 wagon six, getting into the "Cedric" frame of mind... 1 Quote Link to comment
