That valve cover is quite rare! What cylinder head is on that L28?

What are you going to do about the foam part? Going to replace or patch up? Yeah I miss the wood wheel a bit in my car after installing the Datsun compe wheel. It offers a nice contrast to the interior.

If you can get the typeface right (I know it's not really a consideration for your car) you might have a market for selling these for owners of other Datsun's also. Just gotta get the stamping of numbers right also!

Hi everyone, I'm sorry for the delay but I've spent the last 7 days caring for a very sick dog. And sadly it might be a while yet before I can get around to it.

I know the feeling, I still get upset looking at photos of my RX-7 after it was stolen.

Found a few, just none at a price that was right yet! Search for ソレックス on Yahoo! Auctions (That's Solex in Japanese). http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b253369419

I agree, however I think 40's can go alright also. Especially if running an L24 (not a larger L28). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5pugKaYAXQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgE5z6yx1Dg

The important question is, where did all the chains go? Did they break off over the years?

No used, but in excellent shape (from what I can gather). Last 3 photos in this specific post. http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/15654-mikuni-carburettor-id-thread-phh/?p=186225 However gerrardq has first refusal since I offered on his/her wanted thread first.

I have a pair of Type R 40mm Mikunis that I was looking to find a third matching body to make a set of Triples. Would consider selling them for around $800 as a pair only.

It's all dependent on context for a period race car and race engine 50mm Mikuni's are rare enough that they demand a Premium price, they always have relative to other 44's etc.. Given the recent rise in values of other S30Z cars and parts it's no surprise that the 50's have shot up. Even 44's are now fetching $3-4K AUD sometimes more.. As for how they all perform, I'd love to see back to back tests between Weber, Mikuni, SK, Solex, SUs, Dellorto's on a dyno and on the same engine being road driven to see how they all compare in terms of progression and drivability / stumbling / AFRs and of course power band etc.. but perhaps that's a dream? From what I've read most people rave about the Mikuni's.

Cheap actually. The same people who see the value in them know that Mikuni's and Webers don't look the same I suppose? But since you posted a photo of Webers and not Mikuni's I'm guessing you don't see the value. No problem. But if you like, refer to here so you know what you're looking at. http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/15654-mikuni-carburettor-id-thread-phh/page-1 It sounds like a late set of webers (new) would be your best bet.

Carbon Signal might do something like that, but I can't see it at the moment. Maybe send them a message? http://www.carbonsignalauto.com/product-category/datsun/s30/ https://www.facebook.com/pg/carbonsignal1/

Haha, I recently bought some rear bumper rubber so I can mount a rear bumper that hasn't been on the car for about 20 years.

Nice looking 71. https://corvallis.craigslist.org/cto/6070538474.html

Surprised the tail lamps and seats are still on it? Tail lamps would be popular for fellas in the US of A.

Gutted for you mate, wouldn't blame you for wanting to throw the towel in after all that effort. Hope you don't though and still get to the wedding in it. Life has a way of throwing us curveballs like this.

Looks like the later model with the Rose Cheeks. I think that was introduced in early 2017.

Not so good according to Facebook.

Do you think this was an early April Fool's joke?

In fairness what did you expect? Don't call your's a Ferrari, instead just refer to everyone's Ferrari's as poor man's Datsun's lol..

Fairlady 240Z-L Buy it now. 4,750,000 yen (AU$58,472.50) http://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/g209223610 Question for Alan if watching? Did the Fairlady 240Z-L come with the export market slated grille vs the home market mesh grille? I've seen quite a few 240Z-L's now and they all had the slated type grille. *Edit- maybe not then? http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/108798-jdm-s30-fairlady-z-mesh-grill/?p=1017600

I guess it's like anything, can be interpreted multiple ways. I would still consider the car unrestored, given that the paint is original (somehow I doubt it hasn't had any "touch ups"*) and the interior etc.. it still has the majority of it's original components with corresponding manufacture ID. *Just reading body language when he was asked about it, I feel there is more to it. But you know what? It must be impossible to find cars like these that haven't had some kind of touch up over the years. So again it's very subjective I think.
