O.o damn, why didn't u say that earlier?

thought u just were lucky to find those pics

is it a car u have at home? or a car u saw a long time ago?

is it a car u have at home?

I wish I did......

The car is the actual 1971 East African Safari Winning car ( Japanese reg: 'TKS 33 SA 1223', Chassis number 'HS30-00073' ) and it is part of Nissan's 'Heritage Collection' housed at the old Zama plant in Japan.

I've seen and photographed it many times over the years, as I have a deep and ongoing interest in Nissan's works race and rally cars.

damn nice dude . could u give me ur collection of pics u have of it? would help so damn much when thinking about underbody too

[HS30-H]

could u give me ur collection of pics u have of it?

Sorry, but no. I have hundreds of photos of this particular car so it would be a logistical problem to 'give' them to you, as well as a philosophical one.

A better reference for your purposes might be Tamiya's 1/12 scale model kit of the car. Especially so for the exterior graphics. You can still find them for sale now and then.

problem is that those models aren't available here, and they're very expensive. i'm still a student so i don't have lots of money

[monster875]

u have a pic of the other side of the tripmaster? it'll be very helpful to see both sides

[HS30-H]

The view of the R/H side of the centre-mount Tripmaster is partially obscured by the P-light.

There is another Tripmaster mounted on the lid of the glovebox, and the view of the R/H side of that one is clearer:

oh... damn... thought there only was 1 tripmaster, oh well, gotta find some close up pics of that one too

tnx for the pics tho

[monster875]

ok, finished the tripmaster, it's looking awesome now. tho, i just noticed a little button next to it, but unfornutaly, it's mounted on the OTHER side, closer to the driver side than the Halda. so unless i could get a pic of how it looks 100%, it might be done wrong

[HS30-H]

If you're going into that level of detail, I don't know how you can hope to be accurate without detailed photos of every part on the car.

There are literally thousands of non-standard parts and details on a Works rally car, and every car was unique in some way.

This pic is out of focus, but it shows the knob mounted to the right of the centre Halda. This knob is a rheostat for the navigator's Halda-illuminating 'P' light that's above it:

i just want it as accurate as possible. tho i know it's not possible to get it 100% accurate, but i'm trying

and thnx for the pic now i can go further

[monster875]

it have been a while.

but i'm pretty much close to the finish of the interior. what i'm missing it only the plastic part hanging under the glovebox, seat belts and finish the door panels (plus a little more stuff, but not alot).

u have any good pics of the door panels + the part under the glovebox?
