180b sss....

Post by maddat1 »

Hi there,

i have a 1977 180b sss model p810 coupe.
what has happend,on the rego sticker it says ( 77 datsun kp810 )
i sent an email too ltnz requesting to update their records but they need confirmation from a carclub or dealer or manufacturer.
my case officer did sent me an email if anyone can help me out here i can forward that email.
also is there anyway i can correctly identify my car if its a genuine sss.
actually i cant understand from where they got the alphabet ( k ) from.i guess its an typing error in those days.
your help will be highly appreciated.

cheers

yeah, K is the prefix for coupe. I can confirm this is 100% correct.

hi guys,

thanks for the info.
i didnt know k was used for coupes.
so it should be registered as ( 1977 datsun kp810 sss ).but it may not fit in rego slip i guess or will it.
does anyone know what kinda rego slip they used on 1970's...

cheers

I think they used a lion brown label in the 70s :lol:
My cousin went through dramas changing his datsun from a 180b to a bluebird gt. LTSA were hard to deal with but he had sales forms with all the chassis codes on it so after that he got what he wanted.
