Datsun Memorabilia from early in the 240Z days
I was lucky, after getting discharged, went to the 3 dealers in the Cleveland area, and getting the same $1K down and wait 6-9 months and no color or tranny choice. I went to Stang Motors, North Ridgeville, Oh. $100 down, week later, 3 to choose from. white w/auto, brown 4speed, and white, bought a white w/4speed. I'll post a pic, if I can ever figure out how to.

Mine used to do that, it was the fan belt. Sprayed some ''Belt Dressing'' on it, sound went away. Replaced the belt.

Help ! .... need parts for Fairlady
I'm in need of clutch parts for my Fairlady ZL, 5 speed. I doubt if I can get them through my local Nissan Dealer. It's a 10/69, which I plan on restoring for next years car show. It needs a new clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, needle bearing that goes into the 2.0 litre engine, the wire spring inside the transmission, the rubber boot in the tranny, and the other rubber boot under the shifter leather. I wrote to Nissan Headquarters, 17-1 , Ginza 6-chome Chuo-ku, Tokyo back in 1970, again in 2001 and received a nice letter from Shoji Takahashi. I heard that Nissan moved. Anyone have the new address, I'd like to contact them again to see if they can help me. I have replaced the clutch with a CenterForce in my 72 240Z, back in 94. Just need correct parts for the 69 Fairlady ZL ....Thanks, Fred Sigarto
