After a bit more looking the Nakamoto car returned again in 1978, and once again left the country.

Where the cars are

#5 Mehta - currently under restoration in Australia - Oppama/Nissan Motor Works prepared (LZ14)
#14 Iwashita - Shipped back to Japan and dismantled - Oppama/Nissan Motor Works prepared (LZ14)
#56 Nakamoto - Shipped back to Japan - Privately prepared.(L16?)

The location of these cars has been checked with the crews and the Nissan prepared cars have been identified,

The one you missed is #73 Tasunoda/Aoyama, (L16?) it appears on the entry list as a Datsun 1600, but photographic evidence has it as a PB210. It is the only one of the 1977 PB210s still unaccounted for.

Yes they are the same car, it is the car I had 20 years ago, it is now in Victoria, painted in white and orange livery.

I believed it was the car used by Yoshio Iwashita in the 1976 and 1977 Southern Cross rallies, since then the body number has been checked with the Zama Museum a few years ago, it's sad to say that the special little car is definitely not the Iwashita car. The Iwashita car was taken back to Japan and dismantled after a heavy roll over.

This car appears to have been built from a private import used in the 1977 Southern Cross.

These would have been for use with Nissan Competition CDI (Orange Box Ignitor), you'd be hard pressed to find one.

For the Grp4 PB210 restoration I have been forced to have the standard GX tacho recalibrated to 10000 rpm and converted to a CDI pick up. It's not finished yet I'll let you know how it goes when it comes back

Rover if memory serves

It's been done, do a search for the Masling Stanza used in the Australian Rally Championship in the mid 1980's..

The car is currently being restored. In Bendigo I think

The I used a Stanza Crossmember in a B310 to fit an L-series years ago, the KA should fit using one.

The box will fit in the tunnel, just but you can not remove the top bolts from the engine to gearbox with it in the car, you have to remove engine and gearbox as a unit.

If I were to do it again I would modify the tunnel

seems to be some confusion here. What was auctioned was an early LZ14 head from around 1973, PB110 era, there's less than ten operational world wide. It was a bare head, and the price was kinda reasonable, but to recommission it would cost lots, no valves valve springs cams and more importantly cam buckets. The green LZ20B is a type 2 rally head probably PA10 or S10, there's a few of these around at least four running engines in Australia, 1 x LZ20B, 1 x LZ18 and LZ14 rally engines and one turboed LZ20B track engine.

There is currently an LZ20B head and turbo on yahoo auctions, it's a bare head and would cost around $30k on top of the purchase price to make it work.

The cams from the type 1 and type 2 heads are not interchangeable
