Well I've never seen this cover on a non-E31 head... but E88 and N42's came later anyway. I'm not sure if there were other markets with heads other than E31's where early L24's were used but had this cover. It's quite possible, but seeing any other L24 powered cars from that era today is quite rare.

Guy sounds like a very nice uncle from our conversation. Perhaps he doesn't like his nephew going without smashed avocado? ? Either way, I hope his nephew appreciates what Guy is doing for him. I honestly believe he just wants the car to a good home, to be restored and cared for.

Ahh I always thought these had L24s in early 1970. I didn't realise the L23 got phased out in 71. That would be why no 2400 OHC covers and explains why those covers are so rare over here!

I didn't find on eBay US, but I'm sure they will come up. I think they are covered in muck so look worse than after a sandblast and minor panel beating to re-shape. But do whatever suits you best. Just providing options.

I always thought those had the Nissan 2400 OHC covers on the L24 motor? I see this car doesn't have it. Do you know if these had them at all? Or was it only a 240z thing?

I got the impression he was wanting to sell everything in 1 go and doesn't want the car to deteriorate where it is. He said he would check the block for me and let me know, I did say I'd be interested in the bonnet if the new owner doesn't take that stuff or need it etc..

Nice work!

Splash guards? Don't have any spare...

I just spoke to Guy, nice fella. His Nephew is seeking $18k for the car complete. He said he'll try and post engine numbers tomorrow afternoon as I'm interested in L24 long block, also interested in bonnet and rebuilt gearbox if they become available separately.

Oh now I recall... http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/16814-early-240-free-to-good-home/ I'd love to see photos of it, since HS30 00257 is not a car I have much detail on.

Looks like an HS30 in the UK (73) https://www.gumtree.com/p/other-cars/datsun-240z/1286735757

Hmmmm heat gun can easily destroy paint... Be careful. As someone who has destroyed car plastics with heat guns on more than 1 occassion and used it to scrape paint off.

I've got a spare I was going to reskin at Dashboard doctor in Coburg VIC , the frame has suffered weathering.. sandblast and repaint and she'll be ok. It's in storage in Melbourne though.. Alternatively I have 1 that was reskinned and I was considering selling and having the original out of #150 redone instead. What kind of money were you looking to spend?

Lol he's easily offended by rust buckets with price tags. ?

No idea..I only found out today it had gone to the UK. Can always ask around?

Don't think it was publicly listed.

Oh nice, bonus rivets too! On plus side the floors look solid.

HS30 00099 has moved to the UK. (from Perth WA) https://www.facebook.com/jon.newlyn/posts/10155239644601770

I'm pretty sure this 1 has been listed before. https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/Datsun-240Z-1972/OAG-AD-15651264/

I have some spares, but not with me. They are in Melbourne. Next time I'm down that way I'll see if I can dig them out if you still don't have any. I will want them back however.
