Steve,
Thanks for the correction. We were pretty
ignorant about what was available in Japan in the sixties. We didn't
get too many reports out of Japan!

That's the one
Terry.
The original Skyline
GT-A 2 litre 6.
It did run in THE
race at Bathurst in GT-B form. Five speed box and triple webers, plus
LSD, all stock factory, pretty classy gear in its day. One was for sale in
last weeks Melbourne Trading Post - $6000.
I bet it went, they are rare as.
The GT-A and GT-B were model designations of the Prince Skylines of the
mid 60's. These cars didn't use the S20 engine (to my knowledge) but a
SOHC straight six which looks a bit like an L6. A friend recently bought
one of the factory race cars that was campaigned in the NZ touring car series
(or whatever they called it then). Some may have seen it recently as a
featured car in the Drive section of the Thursday Age newspaper.
BTW, the S20 engine was used in the rare Z432 Fairlady (240Z) sold in
Japan. Basically this was a homologation 'special' for a local race
series.
The 'Z432' designation breaks down as:
4 - valves per cylinder
3 - carbs
2 - overhead
cams
