    If you are going to the Nissan Datsun Nationals 2021 in SA at Easter, you'll see this car there. Now that the paint has had a few months to really harden, the owner has just had full the full paint correction process completed on it, and I must say it looks... well, I'll let the photos do the talking:

    A mate of mine is a professional automotive photographer and he stopped by the shop today to take a few photos...

    E30? They have teeny, tiny ports and are normally on L20A's... You've be better off with and E88e or an E88 with welded chambers. BTW, that head it quite repairable - Les Colling Racing over here repairs them all the time.

    I think you'll find Gav has a handle on the situation...

    Diff is based around a late model MR30 Skyline unit with a 3.9 ratio - it'll be going in tomorrow

    I'm glad to see it will be 'mirroring' the original.

    Thank goodness we've gotten to the bottom of this mystery. I was about to call in the CIB...

    What's wrong with your original? It'd probably be easier to repair it... There was some advertised on Facebook on the Australian Z pages.

    No longer required.

    Everything is so bight and shiny, we have to wear sunglasses when working on it.

    I have a brand new pair of these I'm not going to use. $850 + postage.

    Yep, big reveal once it painted and on the road.
  15. C.A.R.
    Yes.

    Trim Clips

    They hold the taillight trims in place on the bottom of the panel. They should be welded into position. Don't loose them as they are impossible to procure!

    I have one out of a '71, complete with loom, gauges and original radio. Needs reskinning. $3k

    All fuel and brake lines are in. Battery tray is bolted in. Front end is going together now. I'm taking my time and doing it right. I'll be back to it on Monday (15th) as I have a Monaro to finish tomorrow...

    As the title says, I'm looking to buy a pair of Comp arms/ knuckles. PM me, or call: Zero Four Zero Zero Zero Five Four Five Seven Two

    Yep! The Z made it onto the hoist today and tomorrow we start assembly! And the first thing to go back together is the Brake Pressure Switch:

    The ol' boy I employ part time - who worked at Nissan dealerships from '68 till '82 - said that all Australian Nissan's came into the dealership with the compliance tag and paperwork in the glove box. And that it was up to the mechanics to perform PD to fit them. Not all cars got fitted with their compliance tag for one reason or another, and every mechanic riveted them in a different spot. In other words, don't get hung up on compliance tags...

    Mike, as a part of my business I also offer vehicle inspections. If you want to look at that Z in Sydney, shoot me a text.
  24. C.A.R.
    I leave them as the factory lap joints, however I prep them as best as possible with a generous application of weld through primer.

    Any of the US Datsun suppliers are difficult to deal with.
