Datsun-240z Vs Fairlady-z432

[bartsscooterservice]

I put copper grease instead of anti seize, worked fine for me.

Bits and pieces comparison ,

tail gate inner rubber and hood upper rubber , both cars still have originals , just amazing . 

Tail light exterior panel , both are non repainted , but there is a difference of aging , fading for each.

Nice to see where the factory ends are on the weather strip!  THANKS!

[kats]

Thanks blue , I must add one thing , each car has each smell . I always feel “ USA “ every time I get in the orange 240Z. And I really like the smell . I can not say well enough, what makes me feel like that ? 

Maybe you are not realized , but  I am sure there is a certain smell in the US . Each time I opened the box bought eBay USA, , there was a smell which I like . It brings back good memories to me when I was at a flight training in Bakersfield California .

Supermarket , warehous , airport , everywhere.

Hi Kats!  Thanks for your die hard devotion to our cars/forum. 

I have always loved the smell of the Zs I've owned. I assumed it was the carpet or plastic panels but who knows, I just know if I was blind I could smell a Z. 

The sound of the hatch opening is very distinctive also if I was blind.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge in a polite manner.

Cliff

EDIT: Kats you have always been more than polite!  I apologize if that sounded bad.  You are one of favorites.  Manners be damned.  Cliff

I understand.  I remembered the smell of Florida from 1973 holidays as a child when returning for work in 1997. My Z's smell the same too.  It must be the plastic or some fungi that likes the interior.

 

There is one Z that I did not like the smell. It had 12 dead mice in it when it arrived.  Horrible lol  Everyone liked the pink colour and Ford V8!

We tried washing the interior, smell remover, etc. but no success

The paint guy in our car club had to strip the interior and clear coat the inside to seal in the stink.

Thanks Mike B. Now just need to figure out which proxy bidder to use.

It's a little different from the one in Kat's pic. Could the one on auction be from a later era such as the 80's?
