Yeah that the one I had mentioned: Quote:

The last few times he came on here he mentioned puuting a turbo on the side of it. I was thinking about ti this morning and I think his username is boughtapos1200 I think. I'll search it after I've finished this and have a look.

Pepper, yeah that's him, I think he sold it to tappet for cheap then tappet sold it on for more than he paid or something. Not sure where it went but I got told that that 2dr actually left the country?

Nice badges by the way, I don't suppose you have a Datsun 1000 boot badge do you?

EDIT: Nah, here he is 1200post

chris, the bloke who did up that 2dr here in qld, his username is ade. i dunno where it went after tappet.
levey, any of these you need??

There's a drag 2-dr in Sydney with a sr20de+t running 10s.
Spoke to the guy at WSID last year, was pretty good bloke.

I also heard 20 in AUS but after looking into it I only found 4 or 5 including mine so who knows? I would like to.
I still think you should show some before resto pics though, not happy that I lost half of mine and it looked pretty bad!

No way, no pics till I actually start on it!

Yeah I dunno, no one seems to know much about them really. John Boston had a few but I don;t know him well enough to ask him what the deal was with their importation etc.

And as for numbers first people were saying there are 20 in Australia, then a couple of years later people are saying there are 10, and now I can only count six 2-dr's in Aus.

Levey
oan878
NA SR20 in NSW
Shaun (John Boston's old one)
Adam here in Adelaide
And now the one I bought.

So who knows how many there are in Aus?

Wait there was one more that Benny was telling me about. I think Tappet bought it and sold it off again. But the chap before him was the one that did it up. He was on here recently with a R.I.P write up on someone he knew who had passed away, can't remember his username. I think his name was Mark somemone?

Chris

I was told they were not sold in Aus only privately imported ,mine had been partially stripped and bits replaced with tacky aftermarket crap.
Also the car has never had a complience plate fitted, so I was asuming it was imported but not sure.
Some pics would be nice mate!

Yeah I dunno, GLs are very close behind a GX so I'm surprised it didn't already have all the fruit on it. OR maybe the Aussie GL's were simply issued a different badge, which wouldn't really make sense for a model that is supposed to be a GL.

I don't want to make mine into a GX because they were never sold as a GX.

But I guess it'll never be a true GL either so I might as well go for the stock look.

EDIT: RE: That side badge that's right where the GX ones sit on a four door so I'd be interested to hear what else your car had on it? However it looks different to the GL 1200 badges I've seen?

The badge and where it was located:

Good to hear Chris!
The GL badge (only one) was still on the car when I bought it, the steering wheel etc I bought afterwards.
The steering wheel is a GX option wheel not GL.

Yeah a while ago now.

So what is the story with your GL? are you sure it is because all other GL's share many of the GX components. How do you tell if it's a GL?

So if you didn't get the original steering wheel and centre console, radio and gearknob what did you get? Or do you mean you bought all these afterward?
