Useful for understanding the anatomy of a Mikuni/Solex PHH carb.

Maybe you can do a few more weeks of Jury Duty for me and buy a set of Triple Mikuni's, after all my generation is full of entitlement and I'm owed something.

No problem, sent you an email with payment details.

Could be an HS30 in rough shape...(based on description) https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/288073433

No problems, but please.. No shouting!

Bit far out for me to go collect, with work etc.. while you're off enjoying jury duty... the life of retired boomers seriously...

If it was an XA / XB Falcon coupe in similar shape it would sell for $25k all day long and as much as I like those, I think S30Z's were far better... The ashtray is $400 USD alone, the radio $700-$800 USD without Faceplate (if it's working) Faceplate and they are now routinely asking over $1000 USD on eBay US. It's an early car (probably no's matching), shame someone took the Topy's off it (probably to keep for themselves), but it looks relatively complete and original. Yes it is rusty, yes it needs lots of work, but these cars are starting to fetch good money restored and in my opinion will likely continue to do so. $5k buys you a 1200 coupe shell these days in similar shape... we all know the S30Z is the pinnacle car for that era. The seller who sold it at $5k didn't know what they had.

Hi mate, I sent you a PM already (a group PM) but ignore it because I had the wrong account no. details in there. I just sent another 1 now that has the correct details etc..

PM sent re: Triple Mikuni's. Good luck with sale of car though!

That looks like an original 5 speed knob, along with 71A gearbox, TM-1081ZB(S) radio, steel fan and even exhaust system (possibly missing outer tip). It doesn't mention matching #'s engine though! The door ain't too bad, you can get a lower half of the door patch panel from Tabco. I am actually inclined to repair existing doors rather than go for the rare spares complete skin as the fitment is better on the OEM door skins. It looks like it was blasted back (all filler removed) and some of the rougher areas exposed. The rear 1/4 panel probably being the worst bit, along with roof. It has some unusual rust spots too, probably from filler being used incorrectly! It actually has a lot going for it, despite the current appearance. *Edit HS30 01311 has been passed around quite a bit lately... first showed up as shown in photos here. (Wonder where the steelies went?) https://photos.app.goo.gl/NDfi7V7Ql9KyBp5j1 http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/1924-cars-for-sale-3rd-party-sites-ebay-carsales-etc/?p=195181

Yes there is a few left (but running out relatively quickly), how many do you need? I'll send you a PM with postage details and bank deposit / payment details.

#1311 is for sale. 907 Green originally. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F173153705246

It's an early 1 too! ?

Thanks buddy, sorry about the mess up.

Rust on bumper? Nothing a Mikuni sticker can't fix lol...

Hey Folks, Just updated the list for those who have paid and those who paid (using the wrong details so likely bounced) my fault of course. So just double-check. I haven't got anything yet from: ScottyB = 1 240ZR = 2 Muteki = 1 Apologies I didn't get these out this morning, post office closed earlier than I remembered.

Hey Jeff, So you gonna use your nikki (filler) over the top of the epoxy primer? Are you storing away those offcuts from your front fenders? I'd be interested in them if you don't have an immediate use for them to help with the repair of 1 of my fenders. But I think you were keeping them for posterity. By the way, I know you like to do everything at home, but wouldn't you just bribe someone with a couple of slabs of beer to use their spray booth on a weekend? I'm actually interested in your safety gear, respirators etc... paint is nasty stuff to get in your lungs.

Interesting look at detective work on a VIN #.

No 2 seaters had the 2.9 first.

Romas who posted the Skyline above, has posted another cracker here. https://www.facebook.com/groups/datsun.europe/permalink/1804387323198102/ I call it Kermit the Bog, some creative bog work.. Honestly it would be easier to fix it properly..

I offered to buy the lot, didn't respond. SMS, Email etc..
