919 Yellow is quite rare to see these days. It's a good colour. RE: 920 Gold - You'll go far around here haha. It's a personal favorite of mine. Who else would create an entire album based on a colour? https://plus.google.com/photos/107400787026175995661/albums/5956391103595164241?authkey=CKSgzcKZ3Z-_dw

L26 crank is same as L28 as far as I'm aware it's just the bore is larger in an L28. So using L26 block might be to retain matching numbers? In any case you've mis-read the Lewis Engines site, they are saying they build L26,l28 may as well include L24 also. The L28 heads have bigger valves, that is their advantage and the fact that most of them are designed to tolerate unleaded fuel, earlier heads don't tolerate unleaded so well..

My rails arrived today, hooray! Will document their install for sure.

I haven't taken the windscreen glass out yet (for this reason) but my driver door glass is inside my second bedroom behind a desk where it is safe from accidentally being broken.

Yeah I understand, I'll try and get some photos of it. I think it's still attached to the dashboard, but the clear plastic cover is gone from memory.

Let me know how you go, I might purchase 2 sets.

Yeah 240z spares are getting harder to find because people are not parting out cars anymore. Anything is worth saving these days. You'd only wreck something that has been hit really hard and even then you might consider restoring it. I think I might have a spare fuse box on my rough dashboard but you'd want to recondition it. It's a mess, but might be a good starting point if you had the patience to try and recondition it and re-solder / clean it up etc..?

Pretty sure this was the 'small' version of the cover. http://page11.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/n150424450 Crazy monies.

http://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/198669791 Worth keeping an eye on.

I have no idea if the C10 stalks are the same size? http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b171427644 But it's listed as S30z compatible. FYI: RHD wiper stalks are hard to find these days.

Yeah I think so, we can source the push nuts separate. So depends if MSA will give us a discount for group buy or not? So we may not need 10 pairs after all.

Try http://www.e-go.com.au/ for freight.

Bump Want to keep this top of mind and make it happen. Before people start to bail as usually happens. Anymore interest?

AU delivery 240z's were never equipped with hazard switch. Suggest whoever is looking at defects checks ADR for 70-73 to confirm this is true.

MSA do a reproduction unit that uses modern style fuses. If you're not concerned about "Genuine". http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/50-5011 http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/50-5010

I noticed it feels like a bit of a ghost town around there now, why do you think they went to Facebook?

Ahh yes the Lime Green colour. http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2014/08/06/better-perhaps-than-new-jeffrey-maders-1972-datsun-240z/ http://www.zhome.com/History/ZColorGallary/ Looks closest to 112 Yellow? Although I would call it Lime myself.

I know the feeling (not wanting to make mistakes), I think it's true no repair is better than a botched repair. Also more previous owners = more trouble. Yeah I agree with that once you have momentum keep going, once you stop it can be hard to start again, especially in winter when the garage is cold.

Welcome, from South Africa? What brings you to Oz? I lived in South Africa for about 3 months and loved it. I didn't see any Datsun 240z's though. Just a 1600 in Cape Town and a 140z at the air port. The 71 240z sounds like a really nice car, would need to see photos to help give you an accurate figure of what it could be worth. Values are currently all over the place in part due to limited supply and massive variance in quality of cars available for sale. When you say yellow, what colour yellow? It's not Safari Gold is it? 920? I can't imagine too many Classic cars floating about in Zimbabwe at the minute. My sister currently lives in Botswana and when I visit her I often see some old Datsun utes about and in use, but never anything less agricultural like an S30z.

Haha, I wish I could perform such simple magic like that with the click of a button. I'll have to download re-orientate and then re-upload. By the way thanks for those photos, that's HS30 0004 as the main star in those photos. http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php?topic=13650.0 That bird with the head band is in both articles. Looks like she really got around (the car that is) and was featured in several publications. Interestingly notice the black stamping on the inner wheel well of the engine bay? It looks like NO2050, I wonder what that means? I'm guessing it was done in the factory? Maybe I should merge threads?

The former, 240z's had a single globe with turn signal and parker. There were two filaments in the globe for each function. I just looked up photos of my 73 240z which was very original. It had blinkers under the front bumper (next to license plate) and the clear parker lens' on each side. See photos below. By 74 the turn signals on AU cars had moved into the fenders (like North American and Japanese markets had) and the 260z had the split parker / turn signal combo set up. This could be correct. Sounds good, let me know what you find. I put this wanted ad up just to see how much luck I had finding these. Unfortunately as the photos show mine are beyond reasonable repair. As a side note, even though the housings look like different lengths, the lens fits on both fine? It must be some weird optical illusion going on cause it's spinning me out!
