Oh! Bummer, but must get those items sorted out. At least you have some other fine rides to choose from until you get it back. I'm more of a Toyota guy, so didn't know Skylines went back that far until I saw this video recently.

Been a Toyota guy a bit now, just dabbling in other manufacturers for once, like what the RR offers over the TRD Pro. Skylines go back to the 50s, mine is actually a 3rd Gen, 1st under the Nissan name. Here is the full squad of vintage cars I have.

1971 Nissan Skyline 2000GT

1972 Toyota Celica ST

1965 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

1972 Plymouth Barracuda

1972 GMC Sprint SP

1965 Ford Mustang Fastback (A Code)

This place was pretty cool, but sadly no longer in existence. Pix are from November 2008 when I visited with a local scooter club. It was ran by a husband and wife team that had both worked at the Datsun/Nissan US HQ for many years, as well as some other volunteers. I think all of the vehicles were on loan, but there might have been a couple that belonged to the couple that ran it or the volunteers. My favorites were the Z's and 510 since I had worked many years at a speed shop that did lots of Z & 510 parts and work.

Love all of those old Nissans and Datsuns, wish I had made it there before it had closed.

Just got it back from the dealer yesterday, all recalls completed, these are just a few things, I know most are minor, but this is still really new to me.

Off to a start, got stainless pedals and
carpeted floor mats, mine came with the all weather.

Needed to that antenna less noticeable, Cravenspeed

Going through the truck for the first time, hood shocks and looks to be a 1.5 inch lift spacer, not sure what brand but looking at Foutz later.

The pièce de résistance, found this under the rear seat, was about to buy one, guess I saved myself $650-700!

Lucky on the tuner for sure! Congrats!

Is that the 4” antenna you added? I need to swap mine out.

Thanks, It's the Cravenspeed 2" Stubby antenna.

That skyline you have is my dream car since I was a kid.,back in the 90's I wanted a Datsun 510 so bad and that's how I found out about skylines now with everyone going crazy over skylines its kinda got me ehehe but would still love to own one.

Thanks, I really wanted white to match my Integra Type S, not to mention this one was the closest to me, specifically didn’t want to buy brand new.

I had a 510 back in the day, was in the market for another and the prices skyrocketed during COVID, ended up with the Celica, came across the Hakosuka on Craigslist, had to jump on it, always wanted a Skyline, not to mention one I didn’t have to SMOG in Cali.

Major score on the ProCal!

Finally got the truck back and a buddy of mine, was perusing through the truck and found it. I probably would have bought one before I got very looked under that seat
