Until reading this thread, I was thinking that it was just me who was having initial reluctance with their 240z throttle control, when accelerating from idle. After much time spent cleaning ball joints, making adjustments etc. with minimal improvement. I now have high hopes that the information gathered here will finally resolve what has been a real PITA problem for me. Thanks to all for your input. cheers

I have posted photographs of the stampings on my gallery page, as listed below. Hopefully these stampings can be identified and explained. http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=500&si=Dazza&page=1&sort=1&perpage=12&password=&ppuser=1803&stype=2 cheers Dazza:beard:

Having a few problems here with picture file sizes: will return.

MOz marking

Just a small question for all the Z gurus. As mentioned on other posts many electrical items have stamped on them something that is indicative of the production source and date. On my engine bay inpection lamp securing arms I found the following: Lower Lug has stamped : MOz. Upper Lug has stamped : 2 Japanese symbols. Does anyone have any idea of what is meant by them and are there any differences with anyone elses? The stampings are easy to read with a light polish of the lug area around the securing screws. :beard:

Count me in as a definite possibility for the run :classic:

Just in keeping with the theme: A man and his wife check into a hotel. The husband wants to have a drink at the bar, but his wife is extremely tired so she decides to go on up to their room to rest. She lies down on the bed... just then, and elevated train passes by very close to the window and shakes the room so hard she's thrown out of the bed. Thinking this must be a freak occurrence, she lies down once more. Again a train shakes the room so violently, she's pitched to the floor. Exasperated, she calls the front desk, asks for the manager. The manager says he'll be right up. The manager is skeptical but the wife insists the story is true. "Look... lie here on the bed -- you'll be thrown right to the floor!" So he lies down next to the wife. Just then the husband walks in. "What," he says, "are you doing here!?!" The manager calmly replies, "Would you believe I'm waiting for a train?"

The badging on my Australian delivered HS30 00145 has a white Z. Maybe the Aussie delivered models differed in that they did not reach our shores until 1970. Cheers Dazza
