Engine Pic + Hakosuka Info...

It's an Inline 6 L28 with Triple Duece Solex 40 Carburators...



By the way I've noticed alot of posts saying how expensive these cars are.

A fully restored, '71-'72, "true" KPGC10 2000GT-R, with a original DOHC 2.0L "S20" Engine, do start out a very high premium. I'd say starting Market Price of around 3.5M Yen and higher depending on condition. The most expensive one I've seen was 15M Yen!!!

My car is only a GT-R "clone", a very popular conversion done in Japan. Starting out with a GT or GT-X body with the bulk of the body coversion comprised of modifying the rear fenders. I've seen examples start as low as 1.5M Yen. However that example only came with a 2.0L SOHC, single carb, w/ 4 speed manual.

Prices for an example like mine start at around 1.8M Yen and up, and depends heavily on:
1: Upgraded engine size L24-L28 (2.4L-3.0L) with how many/type/size carburators; Single - Triple, Solex, OER, Mikuni, Weber; 40, 44, 45, 48, 50!!! To include (Pardon my pun) "Sky's the Limit" RB25 with ITB's to RB26DETT with upgraded Turbo(s)!!!
2: Body condition, levels of rust, and amount of original and NOS parts

It took me 4 months of seaching, selling a couple of cars and my bike, and saving up some cash to find mine. It was completly worth it.
