Datsun-240z Vs Fairlady-z432

[kats]

The earliest hubcap has different color from the later cap.

The later cap ( have more efficient tubs) is a bit darker than the earliest cap.

I tried both type of caps, I decided installing a set of 4 later caps , a set of 4 early caps are kept in the shelf.I do not want to lose early ones.

Do you see the difference in color and valve position...

Thank you,

Yesterday I replaced a grill of Z432,did you notice my Z432 had been with a later front grill?

Please see these two grills, expanded metal grill is different of its size.

Later grill can be count 8 rectangles in vertical while early grill can be count 11.

Now I am happy with it, I painted it by myself.

Enjoy pictures!

Hello,

I have been so busy, nothing special for my Zs.

I renew my website, the main theme is boosting Mr.Tamura for public. I do not think it is enough to appeal though..

Also my 240Z has got Michelin XWX 205 70 VR 14, as some of you already know this tire is not good driving performance

but I really love this tread pattern.

Great photos Kats! Any chance you will relink to the image archives of your Z432 restoration you had posted a few years ago? There were some fantastic detail shots of many rare items!

Kats - love that site and reading up on all the wonderful history. I've found all the pics to be super handy in comparing parts and their variances too! Great work

Hello All,

Thank you so much for watching,

I did not put progress about a year ,my Z432 had a serious problem on floors and doors, also tail light panel.

5 years ago I bought this Z432, I thought the whole body was restored good, but it was not.

I had enjoyed driving it very much, even in the rain.The car is now no more showroom condition,but floors/doors/tail light panel looked new.
