That is much better than I thought it would be, for some reason I was thinking it would be flat glass, not convex.

Thank you

About the Summer/ Winter air cleaner, 

after 03/1973 , Fairlady Z series ( except Z432 ) has a new bigger air cleaner which has the vacuum operated valve with a temperature compensation .

Excerpt from スクランブルカーマガジン

03/82 , Parts catalog Fairlady Z 1973 .

And I looked FSM and Service bulletin for 1973 240Z.

So I classified them like this ,

At the end of Datsun 240Z / Fairlady Z and 240Z series ‘ s production, the most strict and complicated anti pollution system is for 

#1 US and Canada ( air pump , and a lot of piping , HMB 46 ) 

#2 Japan ( No air pump but a canister , HMB 46 ) 

#3 Europe and Australia, New Zealand 

( just simple, HJG 46 ) 

Is it correct?

You see the black bottle, that is the canister for Fairlady Z models.( except Z432 )

UK and 'Europe' (I suspect some exceptions, perhaps Portugal and other 'hot' areas) were specified with a similar - but perhaps slightly simpler - Idle Compensator/Vacuum Can/Temp Sensor-equipped system from August 1973 onwards:

Thanks Alan ! That is a great infomation. At Aug 1973 , UK and Europe got the most powerful S30 ever, L26 with 161BHP or something ?

At that time, Z432 (160BHP) was dropped from the Nissan's line up.

I have read an article of a Japanese magazine about 240Z europe model test ride , the journalist envied the europian customers so much. 

I found these picture , the metalic brown UK 260Z was on an auction 2016 , and the 110 red 240ZG was on a sale in Japan 2006.

They are very useful to look at .

And for me, this type of air filer housing is better than the pre August 1973 air filter housing, as it has a separate channel inside (the bulbous bit below where the vacuum can is) which feeds the rear carb with air much more directly.

You have made me super envious with the type of cars you have been able to interact with. Thank you for sharing all of the information about your cars. Its been really interesting to see how functional the fender mirrors actually are, they appear much more functional than I ever expected.... I'll have to have a longer through this thread later. 

Amazing seeing another Toyota 2000GT, very much an ultimate dream car for me and by chance  spoke to the lady who owns the only one in the UK earlier this week. Makes me want to get out to Japan even more to see the treasurers out there, I just wouldn't know where to start! 

Ps I love the fact that you just drive a 432 to the airport and leave it in the parking lot ?

Hi Ian , thanks , I am now learning about the air inlet , but I did not know that , looking at the catalog did not tell it to me .

I studied HMB 46 has many new features , one of them is a power jet when the throttle butterfly is wide open .

Hey Kats,

Here is a 74 model year 260z 2+2 delivered to Australia.

It's a bit of a time capsule so a good example of an original engine bay.

Interestingly I don't see the charcoal canister.

However my 75 2+2 did indeed have the charcoal canister.

I can try and look in the HS30 parts manual for Australian/NZ to see when those emission items were introduced if you're interested?

Thanks Woody928 ,

Toyota 2000GT in the UK ,  and a Lady , just reminds me James Bond and his secretary . Wow ! 

I soon will not be willing to drive my cars because road patrol agency spread solt everywhere especially in high way . I hate it every winter in Japan .
