samzhot240, You have to have the last set of flat top Hitachi's on earth. I am suprized they run at all... I know a guy here in California who swears by them. But I never knew anyone who could keep them running... I mean this sincerely, good luck.

That $500 is a good deal too. Even if you find a mangled one you send it to a bumper refinisher who straightens and rechromes it for about $500... It's a wash. Your choice.

Bruce, What was the guy's name who you guys bought the company from? I have a video around here somewhere that he did on tuning I think. He was USAF as was I at the time... I think he was leaving Mountain Home in Idaho and going to England or Greenland??? I have a set of SU's that have been suffering shelf abuse for a few years. On my car now are a set of triple Webers. I want to de-tune the car a bit and bring her back toward a nice street cruiser and less of the hillclimb screamer the PO built it for. My car is a "73 but the SU's I have are four screw round tops. I will be sending them off to you guys one of these days when I get done with interior restoration...

I got the same stuff from Les. Less the headliner. I am also going to purchase the seat cover kits and door panels. I got the vinyl kit too. ummm new interior! Love it!

Hi Carl, Not sure if you will remember me. I was a member of the IZCC with a member number of like 3250 or so... I had a website called PlanetZ with a couple how-to things and a few pictures of my car. I have been sort of absent for a few years while I finished my PhD. I have a 1973 240Z now. I am the second owner. The first was an enthusiast and the car has in his words "just about everything that Nissan Motorsports makes". I have painted it in its original white and will be spending the summer replacing the interior panels with the reproduction stuff. It is mechanically very strong but I will be "de-tuning" it. It has the 2.4 block with an E31 head and triple Webers, Nissan Motorsports headers, original 4 speed, into an R200 with Nissan Motorsports LSD. The suspension is way too stiff for my 'softening with age' tastes so that will be returned to rubber if I can find it. Nice to see you are still around the Datsun Z. I always appreciated your expertise. Rob Sime
