Very rare 240Z emblem

[MikeW]

Hi Mike,

I don't understand. Can you clarify what you want me to clarify?

The emblems on the rear spoiler of my ZG are correct. A 'Fairlady' emblem ( no 'Z' integral ) and a '240Z' emblem.

Sorry, I should have been more specific and didn't mean to imply that something wasn't correct. I was really more interested in the overall configuration. Were the two separate emblems used this way only on the spoiler or were there models with this configuration on the hatch itself? I supposed I answered my own question if this is specific to the ZG assuming that the rear spoiler was always present.

Ah, OK I see what you mean.

Well, don't forget that the ZG was supplied without the spoiler in most cases, as were most of the Japanese models in fact.

The spoilers were often specified as catalogue 'Option' parts, and these were fitted by dealers. When the dealers installed the spoilers, they had to drill the holes to mount them - hence the inconsistency in mounting position that you can see.

It seems that the spoilers took a while to catch on in Japan, and many cars got them a good while after leaving the showroom.

Here's a couple more illustrative pics from official Nissan documentation:

Hi NZeder,

Sorry about my PM inbox. I've just been there and cleared it out a bit. I'll send you a PM straight away.

Of course you would be most welcome to come and see my ZG ( you can see a half-built 432R replica and some boxes full of junk too :classic: ). Hopefully the weather will be a bit better by that time. I'll have to check dates and see if there are any interesting car-related events worth visiting while you are in the UK.

Cheers,

Alan T.

Sorry to be bringing a thread from the past up, but I spent a lot of time just reading all this. GREAT STUFF ALL YOU GUYS FROM WAY BACK WHEN.

I came upon this thread when searching for part numbers and found a few.

I am looking for the part numbers for the Fairlady Rear Deck Emblem without the Z and the fairlady fender emblems.

I have a Series-1 Z ..HLS30-11063 and am looking for the part numbers for the pillar emblems that match my car.

So far I have found only these...

90807-E4602 Deck Emblem "240Z"

90806-E4601 Deck Emblem "Datsun"

Welcome to the club and glad you enjoy our topics! I have one of the Z-less Fairlady emblems and they aren't easy to find. Best of luck. I can help you with your pillar emblem questions though. There are several varieties and I'll briefly discuss each.

76807 / 76808-E4600 - up to 1/70 - probably either solid cast or hollow cast metal and the Z is chromed to match the numerals. There are two different chromed Z castings.

76807 / 76808-E4601 - from 2/70 to 12/70 - probably the hollow cast metal white painted Z. The Z is recessed in the casting and back painted white. This casting is different from E4600.

76807 / 76808-E4602 - up to 12/70 replaces 4601 - probably the plastic version of 4601

76807 / 76808-E8200 - from 1/71 - probably the round vented emblem.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you find a solid cast chrome Z.

[240Z_Master]

Hey buddy, thanks for the input, I was able to track down E4601 and E8200 on both sides. Can't seem to find the original solid Z cast ones yet but if I get a hold of one on my search, I will definately let you know.

One question that you've probably been asked a million times. You own both of thos 00026/00027? That's freakin cooler than ***t!

[26th-Z]

Yep! 26th has been with me for twenty years and is currently completely apart and her body shell is being dipped / derusted. I found 27th on eBay last summer and she is rusting comfortably in storage while I restore 26th.

They are both racing green with butterscotch interiors. Both will eventually be restored to "pretty damned original" condition. 26th is scheduled to be enhanced with Nissan / Datsun optional and period correct parts. 27th will go dead stock.

26th went to the dipping "spa" last November and she is still there. She was supposed to be done in March but there has been a hurricane-or-two delay and I expect her back 100% rust free / bare metal very soon.

Isn't hurricane season just around the corner (again)?

YEP! June through September as I recall.

YEP! June through September as I recall.

I used to live in Orlando, where there were hurricanes, then I used to live in Austin (Pflugerville actually) and there used to be tornado watches...now I live in California where there are Earthquakes... go figure.

BTW, Anyone have any information about the deck lid vents on the Series-1 or P/N's for that matter?
