yep. all GT's from Jan 68 build had the captive mounts fitted to the B pillar, but some were just covered over with the pillar trim/hood lining material.
my GT is a very early one with this, being Jan 68 build and I've seen late 67 build cars without it. one of Craig's is an example.
cheers.

dave you need some spare good nick tailights??

there was a heavy duty single or a 3 or 5 leaf option as part of each kit, but i think they could be bought separately too.
the stage 1 kit was HD single leaf.
stage 2 was 3 leaf.
and stage 3 was 5 leaf.

oh, and the HD single leaf was part # 51300-276 and cost 2,050 yen.
3 leaf # 51300-351 costing 3,300 yen
5 leaf # 51300-278 costing 3,560 yen.

there's some more useless info!!

This one appears to be a stage 3 ? Pic attached. Owner of this car says "leaf stage Ⅱ · Ⅲ stage"
Seems to have 5 leaves.

I was just gleaning through Flickr for Bellett and Florian pics and GUESS WHAT I FOUND?!?

Taken in a Japanese car dealership!

Photo is described as being "old car shop"

Looks like a Bluebird beside the GT , but is it a "SSS" ? Probably not.

Now thats cool!
Isn't the interwebby an amazing thing?

The old Bluebird,......Dennis had one of those for a while. Bit slow though, Belletts blew it to the weeds.....

Cheers, Matt.

Looks like the "Frog" was no. 148 on their books

I think it's the price; 1 480 000 yen! But there are a lot of zeros there... and Belletts are narrow!

that funny symbol before the 148 is yen, so that'd be the price.
what's it work out to be in $Aus dave? and how's it compare to what u paid?

Shows how long I haven't been around Learn something every day, Yen Symbol, thanks PR91.

Today it works out to $14,693... which is not far (but more) than I paid for mine landed in Aus!! I think they put that price on it before they found the rust...

Just thought I'd throw up a the latest pics of the GTR.

Haven't done much to it since buying it except put the GTR-lookalike Sigma steel wheels on there.

These pics taken at Farmer's house are still the best... (and one is from the calendar!)

Plus one from the road!

Now all I have to do is choose the photo I will use on my Computer Desktop.................


Looking good!

I like the first pic the best Neil. There's something about GTARRRSES

*BUMP*

Time for a quick update on the GTR....

Turns out it's got an engine issue.

Can't seem to work out what the problem is...it's got this whinging, whining noise and seems to be consuming Weet Bix and Matchbox cars at an alarming rate....

....any ideas??

so that's what the gtr is like under the bonnet ...its rated and powered in boy.power not horsepower ...and hes getting bigger by the day ...great shot ...davo

I can't see any problem there......
I reckon that little engine will rev it's head off if you put the right fuel in it red cordial and twisties should do the trick

putting an electric motor in there perhaps, they whine

Dave mate,
The whinging whining noise may be reduced somewhat by adding a generous quantity of chocolate to the fuel supply, with a reduction of the weetbix portion.
I have previously discovered that the consumption of matchbox cars can cause problems with with the internal components, which may also be a cause of troubleing noises. The underbonnet components certainly appear in good condition, so should only require a little tweaking to provide the desired result.

Glad to help,
Matt.
