Interesting, not using the standard inlet manifold? What is the reason for using this fabricated version?

Welcome, nice username lol..

Aaron is appears you posted twice? http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/14176-hello-from-perth/?do=findComment&comment=168347

Yes we (or I should say I and a few others) think that only HS30 0003 was built in 1969 and we don't know if it still exists today. From the anecdotal evidence I've seen littered around the web HS30 0004 was built in 1970 and arrived on our shores later in the year for testing. HS30 00030 was built in 1970 from the date stamps on various components under dash etc.. I got this information from the owner who had some help decoding the Japanese manufacturing stamps on some components of the car. As a side note: The car is not very original anymore, but is actively used in a similar fashion to the cars in the HS30 0002X range were, which is the main thing. It appears to me that cars under HS30 00100 are likely to have the earlier style Nissan 2400 OHC valve cover and those after that didn't. I know that HS30 00051 and HS30 00084 do have the early style valve cover. So I assume cars before and up until HS30 00084 did, but I'm not sure if cars after that did also and when the cut off point was.. Hence the reason I asked, since Dimitri's car HS30 000121 has the regular Nissan OHC cover. So somewhere between HS30 00084 and HS30 000121 the valve covers changed. Both Locky's (HS30 00149) and my (HS30 00150) didn't have the earlier cover. More info here: http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/13493-nissan-2400-cc-valve-covers-and-hs30-build-cars/ I also have reason to believe that some of the very first HS30 cars were used as dealer demo cars and not available immediately to the public, so that would mean cars like yours may have been the amongst the first purchased by Joe Public, this is at least what I can deduce from the information at hand so far. It would be great if someone working for Nissan Australia at that time and had an interest in early S30z's could confirm this though. Certainly Locky's thread about Harry who bought HS30 00149 new seems to indicate that also. Since Harry went onto the waiting list. http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/5319-lurch%E2%80%99s-%E2%80%98early-girl%E2%80%99-240z/

74 model Fairlady Z for sale. http://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/l327606784 Starting at: 2,380,000 yen Notice the 2 knob Rally Clock? Even though this car looks like our market "260z" in terms of its updates like rear lights and dashboard changes. They still got the 2 knob Rally Clock before switching to the single knob Calendar clock later. Also notice, the Fairlady Z mesh grille, radiator shroud, 8 track head unit.

Topic pinned / made sticky.

Does anyone know what a 240z heater core part no. is? http://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/v436535906 27115-N3100 Edit looks like this might be for a 260z. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/16-7602&gws_rd=cr&ei=uZ09Vsz-DqilmQXuvqugDQ

That is a 260z style splash pan, seller is member on here http://www.viczcar.com/forum/user/101953-import-monky/- His name is 'Bardan'.

So when you say you have changed your mind on what a modified S30z should be, does that mean you liked the car or didn't? Rocket Bunny S30z - Looks like it's a bit rough around the edges... *Edit you posted the O.S Giken car as I was typing my reply. I prefer the O.S Giken car also, more soul. Although I have to say the cut out bonnet isn't my thing (hopefully just for the show) and the black paint on an early S30z looks odd to me. I prefer period correct colours, the wheels are ok but again not my style.

Our market Datsun 240z's were all in MPH because pre 1973 cars in Australia used MPH, in 1974 we switched to KPH with the introduction of the 260z. In Japan early S30z's (Fairlady Z's) had KPH gauges so this is where you should look for a speedometer to suit an early S30z style dashboard (what you would refer to as a 240z dashboard).

Bump, just in case anyone looked at this topic recently and saw the images in the original post missing. Have fixed this now.

Good score buying that! It doesn't look that rusty from the photo you provided, but that's 1 side. Tabco in the USA is good for replacement sections, there is also rare spares in Australia and the other stuff generally has to be fabricated at this point. Although more and more parts are becoming available as S30z values go up. How original was other stuff like the interior? I'm curious did your valve cover have Nissan 24000 OHC on it or just Nissan OHC? The original L24 is a big plus.

Find your thread and bump it up mate by replying to said thread but also my105 is where your target audience would also see it.

Jason why don't you list your car for sale officially? You seem to dangle it in front of every wanted ad but don't actually put it up for sale.

Both have been on the market a little while now.

This thread is for cars on the global market not for cross spruiking your own ad.

I can't help unless you give me more details about what is wrong?

I'm not an expert on standard ride height but it does look lowered slightly.

I'll take the console mate. It is a 240z console and an early 1 at that.

Awesome please do keep us updated on the trip and take photos. Also welcome to the nut house.

I'm going to try and make it in the Rx7 but if not I'll bring the race car a.k.a Suzuki Jimny.
