Thumbs up Can someone give me some info on this beauty!?

I just came from a car show, and filled my camera with pictures. Out of all of them, this car was one of my favorites. I realized that I wasn't too familiar with it, but knew that it was a Skyline. I was just wondering if anyone could give me some info on it. Thanx.

It is a rare KGC10

It would have featured the S20 1998cc 160hp double over head cam 6cyl in it.

I like those too, the fronts look a lot like the Dodge Coronets back in the day.

Cool pics, got more?

No, sorry. I couldn't get a pic of the inside because the windows were closed and it caused an awful glare. It was very basic, but I did see a nitro switch.

Unfortunately that one doesn't have the original engine in it.

Haven't seen it myself but I've heard something like that on the boards, so most likely yes.

Hi, just wanted to put some things right here:

I can't see the pictures from the links, so I went to the photo album. I guess, we are talking about the white car featured there.

1. The GT-R Coupe version of the C10 series would be called the KPGC10; K for Coupe; P describing that it is the GT-R version; and GC10 for the series

2. This is a KGC10, i.e. the coupe version of the standard C10. Since only few original KPGC10s were built, there are lots of replicas at the market (which are quite valuable, nonetheless). While this one appears to be a genuine GT-R from the outside, the engine is the clue.

That engine featured in your pictures, is an OHC (L20) engine, as it was used among the standard GC10 lineup:

GC10 History

The S20 was a DOHC and looked like this:

PGC10 Engine

Nice car nonetheless.

Thanx for the great info man! I don't know how you actually identify the engine in my picture!

when you look at the larger picture, it says nissan ohc on the engine head...it's quite difficult to read it, though

actually, I've seen pictures of tuned L20s before in HPI, which is why I got curious whether this really is a KPGC10, or not.
