Alan lots of good info there, can you give me the link to that thread that Kats shared all this info in? I'm trying to determine how many HS30s may have been produced in the 1969 year. Do you have any idea what chassis # they would have gone up to? Would an engine number be a more accurate reference point for build date(s)? I had read that info from Carl and in fact many times told people no 1969 build date HS30's existed in Australia, but I now think I'm wrong. Up until yesterday I didn't know that HS30 0003 made it over here, I have never seen the car and last I heard it was wearing a purple paint job and headed down the Victoria coast line. It makes me wonder if HS30 0002 would have made it here and what happened to HS30 0001? As a prototype I assume it never left the factory? I was always under the impression HS30 0004 was the earliest chassis number here in AU. Yet lately (last 2 weeks) I've uncovered a lot of info with regard to early cars. Cars that I didn't think still existed but the first post of this thread has shone a light on what cars may or may not be around and accounted for.

You could have a party in those pants.

AU delivered 240z's never had the indicators in the guards. That was introduced with the 260z. It seems to be an AU market anomaly. Like our flat fender mirrors. Of course the solution is to weld up those holes like I did...

I really have to tidy this up further but for now I found this. http://www.zcar.com/forum/10-70-83-tech-discussion-forum/114918-early-240z-no-hs30-00060-a.html HS30 00060 apparently existed up until 2005 - but who knows if he took the advice not to put a Skyline motor in it? Does it still exist? Who knows. Take the info here with regard to HS30 prefix cars with a grain of salt. http://zhome.com/History/69ZArticle.html

Split thread, will tidy up later.

Why? Well why not?

Sounds like Graham is playing S30z bingo and winning. I should start a new thread on this topic, I am really interested to know what shape these cars are in and just how original some of them are. It's 1 thing for the chassis to still exist it's another thing if it's even viable to repair / restore and how many original bits are still with them.

You mean the garnish piece not the rear beaver panel correct?

Good detective work. If you read the original ad though.. Concourse winner, all original except alloy wheels and radio, have originals and 4 hubcaps, has done 54,000 miles, drives like new, 5 spd manual, the best there is. I interpret it to mean have the original radio and hubcaps... Now Flipper might have bought the car with the intention to keep it and had a change of circumstances that meant he/she had to sell it. Can't blame someone for 'properly' advertising a car for sale though.

I recently posted this on George's build thread (sorry George). http://www.classiczcars.com/topic/48409-hs30-00019/?p=474898 But it got me thinking about trying to get photos of the early 240z's to see where they are at and what shape they might be in. I've included a collection of VIN's I've collected from various threads and sources, some of these cars I've seen for myself, but others I haven't. The ultimate goal would be to get a collection of photos of early HS30 cars and send them to Nostalgic Hero magazine in Japan, they could do a feature on early cars in Australia and I'm sure there would be quite a bit of interest globally and locally also. Anyway as I get photos I'll add them to the first post here.. If you have anything to contribute or information to add please do! If you know a car has deceased please also let us know. This isn't designed to replace the WA Z Car register, rather give a pictorial view of these cars.

The car was about 80% complete rolling shell. However most of the bolt on components that make it an early girl had been sold off by Warren. No engine, gearbox or diff came with the car. The car was going to be turned into a race car by the guys at Sports Car Centre but had a change of heart and decided to build up a Mazda MX5 for a one make racing series. The 240z however came with a cut up 260z 2 seater with most parts. I dragged all this back to SA with 3 mates in 3 separate cars with car trailers. After about 3 years of contemplating what to do with the car I decided to sell the shell as there was a lot of work required to restore it and it didn’t have the original engine. I put it up on ebay and sold the car back to a bloke in NSW who had an accident in his race car and wanted to re-shell his race car. That is the last I have seen or heard of it.

It sat in my shed in a very sad state, see pictures, for about 7 years until I had purchased all the parts to restore it to its current completed condition. The car was mostly complete with a matching number engine. I started the restoration in 2010 and was completed for the 2013 Nissan/Datsun nationals at Phillip Island.

Yep agreed flipper the Dolphin bought it to sell on...

Ok so here is some reference measurements and photos. Not an exact science since there are various curved edges which makes an absolute *fixed* point of reference difficult but you hopefully get the idea and can compare with what you already have. Rear most (relative to door) arm rest hole. (14 cm from rear of card to center of hole). Rear most arm rest hole to bottom of door card (20.5 cm) As you can see the first and second hole are not on the same fixed y-axis in terms of position, the second hole is slightly higher than the first. The second hole is about (34.5 cm) from rear of door card. Bottom of door card to center of second hole is (21.5 cm) Inner Door handle (square area) is (5 cm from bottom of door trim). and (34.5cm to front of door trim). Window Crank hole. (~ 25cm from center of hole to bottom of door trim) Approx (~ 28cm to front of door trim) window crank hole. Arm rest upper hole / fixture point. (~38.5 cm from bottom of door trim) and (13.5 cm from top of door trim) and (34.5 cm to front of door trim) and the door lock hole. (~ 22.5cm from rear of door trim) A couple of people asked about the chrome. These photos didn't turn out as well as I had hoped... There is no flaking on either door trim, if I was to be really really picky on 1 side there is very minor ripple which I don't think anything could be done about in all honesty and it's only in a small part of the strip, not something you would notice unless really looking very close. But the chrome is not peeling or flaking anywhere at all. It's as good as you'll get. Hopefully this gives you a good reference for your own door trims to compare against. I suspect the main difference on AU delivered '260z's' is the lock position only.

Cloth braided hoses? Which ones? There are a few in the engine bay.

Not sure if you're looking for original? http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/embleton/cars-vans-utes/classic-datsun-260z-2-2/1085411527 This looks ok. (Tasmania though) http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/shearwater/cars-vans-utes/1974-datsun-260z/1084396544 Perhaps the best on Gumtree? http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/spearwood/cars-vans-utes/datsun-260z-2-2-coupe-/1084375370 Go Fast Sills. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/avalon/cars-vans-utes/datsun-260z-2-2/1084241285 This 1? http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Datsun-260Z-1977/SSE-AD-3477852/?Cr=2 Someone said this had some rust? http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Datsun-260Z-1975/SSE-AD-3269743/?Cr=4 But beggars cannot be choosers....

So why hasn't this 1 sold yet? http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/new-farm/cars-vans-utes/1972-datsun-240z-coupe/1082903062 Seems well priced and it's a 240z?

Next time I come across NOS ones I'll import them, won't be cheap. But at least with NOS you don't have to spend time prepping the panel in the same manner.

A little rough... http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/henley-beach/auto-body-parts/datsun-240z-260z-front-guards-left-and-right-/1085481647

Peter how are you getting the 260z back to Sydney?

Maybe LockLock's car was originally a AU market 240z? I still scratch my head as to why they didn't include 1 in Australia.

Sounds like the Phase III GTHO Falcon's only meant to have made 1,557, now there only 3000 left.

I did... RE: Edward Lee's - not sure you saw this? http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php/topic,15615.msg172877.html#msg172877 How can you trust someone that blatantly commits fraud? End of story...

To further add to this theory that maybe later 280z ones are different. http://jdm-car-parts.com/collections/interior-trim-nissan-datsun-fairlady-z-240z-260z-280z-280zx/products/datsun-280z-1977-78-coupe-door-panel-set-nos > Genuine Nissan NOS door panel set for 1977-78 Datsun 280Z coupe > It does not fit 1974 260Z or 1975-76 280Z model

I'm happy to do a meet somewhere for sure, no Z yet but hopefully can bring the RX-7 or something.
