Hello Kats,

I have been cleaning my engine bay piece by piece and I noticed that the master cylinder bell housing is made by Jidoshakiki. The actual master cylinder and the caps for the brake fluid are made by Tokico, Japan. This may be different for a 240 as I am looking at the parts on my 260.

Here is a picture of the label on the bell housing of the master cylinder.

Kats out of curiosity do you have a picture of what an original battery looks like?

I'd imagine nearly all would no longer have the original one.

By the way I can't add to that list.

Thank you Ben,

I revised for master back,bendix is not good this time.

Gav240z,I also want to see the original battery.I only can see it in the 240Z color folded brochure.It is black and I can see "N50" at side of battery.

I will post the photo soon.

No criticism intended, but for clarity, this item is the Brake Booster, or Master Vac unit. A vacuum operated unit that assists in transmitting brake pedal pressure to the actual brake hydraulic system.

Hi Bambikiller240,

Thank you for the information,also I found and corrected master "vac"...

Thanks Carl for the correction. I am slowly getting into the car part lingo. *Master vac Unit or brake booster.* Okay, I just added that to my vocab.

Take care,

Ben

there is a conversion guide from old yuasa batteries to new exide batteries on the following link. Some of the yuasa batteries numbers have N50 in them. No detailed pictures though

Here's a scan of the Nissan R-DRIVE parts book pic of YUASA batteries.

I think these were from the "Pafecta" range of YUASA batteries:

Hi Kats,

Great thread!

Some to add to your list off the top of my head:

TOSHIBA - some lamps & bulbs

EVER WING - Mirrors / lamps in some markets

MITSUBISHI - Alternators in some markets / other electricals

STANLEY - some lamps and bulbs

ATSUGI - suspension components ( strut legs etc )

KEW - suspension mountings / engine mounts / some drivetrain pressings / 'moustache' bars etc.

oh i do recall seeing a rotor button for the distributor an electronic one from a 280zx which was on my car at one stage.

Rotor Button - Mitsubishi

Possibly other distributor components.

The harder I try to think about this, the harder it is to recall any relevant names! Its just like a quiz.

One more for now:

NTN - Bearings and seals.
