Thank you everyone , I am glad that you like Dino but even more love Z . Dino has GT in its name but it is more like a racing car . ZG does not have GT in its name but it is a GT , if I was driving from LA to NY , I would take ZG for the journey. Kats

Just ordered some legal weed online from my provincial government, it was kinda weird. The stuff I ordered has 0% THC and 14% CBD, so although I'll be smokin up I won't be getting stoned, had quite enough of that in Grade 10, besides that's what paint fumes are for.

You must be new here....

We'll be there Friday around lunch. I laughed when I got the invite to the pool party a few minutes ago, now I know why. See all you guys tomorrow.

Nope. I am eliminating the door locks too. Too easy for people to break into the old style locks. Extra layer of security and no water access. I never liked the notched look on the rear spoiler anyway. To each their own.

And I heard from Cliff. He and Mark headed straight to the track from the airport. Looking forward to seeing everyone!!!

IMHO, finish each section. One doesn't want to remove a lot of metal at the same time on these cars unless the car is on a jig.

What are you taking it for? I don't partake anymore, but if it were legal, maybe. I'm hoping by the time I'm in retirement it will be legal. Smoking something though with no fun effects, is like having sex with no happy ending!

This is what I call “ fat “ seat back . Can be seen only early cars . I thank for Mr. Sudo . Kats

According on January 1970 R&T issue, it was optional. I remember when i was in the northern part of NY state buying body panels from a 240Z parts car, the guy had a low numbered car somewhere in the 6XXs that had an original 5 speed. He even mentioned the correct stamped number on it that i don"t recall. But i don't know to beleive it or not. Sent from my [device_name] using http://Classic Zcar Club mobile

Ask Mr Matsuo at ZCON!!! (Why USA got 4sp in 1970) @SteveJ

Good question ?

I'm not sure why the US market got stiffed with a 4 speed box. AU market cars were all 5 speeds from the beginning.

Thanks Blue , I installed them today. I had not know Mr. Sudo restored my blue seats until I met him several years ago . He kindly gave me this blue vinyl sheets as he had kept for just in case . The sliding basements also holes for both sides to make it applicable for both . Kats

Nice pictures Kats... I feel the biggest mistake is giving the US 240Z a 4 speed, it would have much more potential and top speed with a 5 speed wide ratio gearbox... Everytime I drive my 240Z in the modern traffic around 80 mph and after that the engine is allready making to much rpm to be cruising @ a higher speed... so really missing another extra overdrive gear here :(

Great reference photos!

Will do. I'll be leading one of the mountain drives tomorrow, then heading to autocross and karting to spectate.

Hi , I have got the restored seat for my early Z from Mr Sudo . The seat formes and basements are originally used for my 03/70 blue 240Z , this time I have got these seats restored. ( the blue seats are now on my blue 240Z were restored by Mr Sudo too , in 2003 , using a donor seats which came from another z ) . I am so happy with the results, I really love early “ fat “ style seat back . Seat belt hook located Fairlady version , it is on the head rest , all the export Datsun version has near the lumbar support. I guess this difference would come from the seatbelt length. Fairlady cars can set the seat much forward than Datsun , designers considered small women behind the wheel . ( only very few women in Japan though) The seat belt must be longer, then when you hook the belt, the hook should be on higher to prevent jamming excess belts on the sliding rails . But early seat has four holes on the back , ( for L & R , Fairlady and Datsun ) which makes factory efficient when making it . And I chose upgrading belts for the seat bottom as I have back pain usually. I do not stick with its original for the seats this time , I took off original 432 seats for preservation , they will be restored using original belts . Enjoy pictures Kats

Well, grade 8, 9 and 10 after that my brain was never the same again.

Only grade 10? ?

If you make it to Dallas, we'd love to host you and Janet for a meal. Keep us posted on any plans to be in the area.

Thought I should pitch in with my latest upload. Panasport 16x7 wheels with 205/55 tyres ? DSC_0222 by Mark Woodrow, on Flickr

I did all my lights in LED except the dash a year ago and am quite pleased with the outcome. Here's the list of bulbs including the dome light I put in another thread;

Yes, the VIN tag is part of the frame. The edge of the new cover tucks under it nicely.

I love the Dino, I almost bought one in high school, but when you look at it next to an S30, it's tiny! I would never fit in it. I think I will stick with my old Z cars instead.
