What Z am I driving?

[HS30-H]

He said 'electric mirror switces'. I believe I've seen that combo (wind up windows w/electric mirrors) on USA S130's. My 810 is set up that way also.

Oops! I misread that. Thanks for putting me straight ( that had me scratching my head for a little while.......... ).

Ok where do I get a Nissan 'Service Shuho' booklet for the S130's and what's a Shuho. I take it that that the E-HGS130 means its got the L28E engine? Is that where you deciphered the E from?

I wouldn't worry about getting the Service Shuho booklets at this point if I were you. They were sent out to Nissan dealers in Japan when new models were introduced or updated, and contain snippets of useful and interesting information - but they are all in Japanese and deciphering them might not be all that much of a fun prospect for you. They are also pretty expensive collectables.

It is the 'H' in the prefix of your VIN / body serial number combination that denotes the L28E engine on this model ( letter H in the prefix usually stood for the higher engine capacity versions across the models ) and since injection was standard on the S130-series Z range ( letter 'E' after the engine type denotes that ) it just means that your engine is the 'L28E' - which might help you when you are ordering parts for it.

I think the most useful thing for you at this point will be a copy of the Japanese market Parts List for the S130-series Z. If you can send me a PM with your name and postal address I will send you a CD version by Air Mail.

My 810 is the brown car in the foreground. That's and old picture. 810 refers to it's designation which is KHLG810. That's a US market version of the Australian Datsun 200B.

Nutty, I frankly would recommend a new set of tires before you do anything else.

I will change my picture to include wheels next time.
