Terrapin Z

Turn the knob all the way counter clockwise, gently until it stops. The push it in towards the dash and turn another 1/4 turn (or so) counterclockwise it will come off then. There is a washer like piece on the end and a spring inside. I have one i can show pic's of if you have any trouble.

I changed it to 4.5. For the 240 police, fix it tickets I received. I will stay in 240z detention for the rest of the weekend. 🙄

I quote the same line from your post "at all" Of course the 240s had a 240Z badge for 4.5 years, and the 260 had a 260Z badge for 1 year, and again the 280 had a 280Z badge for 4 years. The ZX had 280ZX badges until 82 I think then it said Datsun by Nissan, on the outside badge. It has always been Nissan Motor Co.

The point of my post was to show the word Nissan and S30 were on both cars mentioned, not to sell a shoddy plate. I just grabbed the first picture that came up on eBay. If someone was looking for a plate I would send them your way no question.

My 82 ZX parts car has a fairly decent lower fender section on the drivers side. Might be an option. Passenger side is toast.

They should both have this badge, that says Nissan Motor Co LTD, and HLS30 (the S30 part) as the Type.

His profile says he was on here about 2 hrs ago. So you get a 2 reputation for one unanswered post? Interesting.

I have this one available. I washed some dirt off and gave it a quick polish. Not show quality but usable.

I checked the website too, and there is nothing about closing up or shutting down. Seems odd that their phone message would be the only source of this info. I sent an email through the site but have not received any response.

I purchased my Z from an Air Force office who gave me an affidavit stating the car was bought new from Del Pranke Datsun in Gresham OR on 08-14-70 the car is stamped 6/70. The Officer bought it from the original owner in Nov 1972 and had it until I bought it June 2009, out of Camas WA. He has certified the car had 53,293 miles when he sold it to me, I drove it home to Centralia Wa where it has lived since. The odo is now 65K and I just added 224mi yesterday.

Hey @Zed Head just cause my car is green and slow, doesn't mean I am a turtle too. 😂 @ckurtz2 I answered your PM. I should be able to help you out.

Right!?! "Thank you Mr. Customer. After purchasing all that performance stuff wouldn't you like a trailer hitch too?" Imagine a 3000 pound car with a maxed out 2000 pound load on a trailer.

In a later catalog they list BRE cams as well as G/B cams. Maybe just a local parts supplier. With a coincidental name then. One catalog came with my car from a town near Portland, The later catalog came in a swap meet purchase.

Has anyone here heard of Ger - Brock & Co. out of Portland OR? Just wondering if there was any connection in the Brock name. Geraghty - Brock?

There is oil spray on the surface too, and most notably the out of true groove. I would venture to say that had been broken for some time while it was a runner. Hopefully mine will get him on to the next stage.

That is quite possible I have only had 1 ZX and I sold the power steering off it a while ago. I do remember some where that the 79-80 had manual steering and the 81-83 had the power option. Thus the add on pulley would make more sense. This pulley came in a batch of parts I bought off a racer that was moving, so I do not know the full set up or year.

I think it resembles this one. It is a two pulley that was for the ZX with power steering. The third pulley is a bolt on for the A/C. IIRC.

I have a loose 280 2 pulley one off the engine it looks like the eBay one, smaller back ring size. The one in the OP first pic looks like the ZX one with a third pulley. I have one of those off the engine as well.

These pieces Jim?

In my understanding of these diagrams, the upper C1 shows the x'ed out ones have no wires in this positions. The lower C1 is what the plug actually looks like. SteveJ will know for sure about this. 🙂

I'll bring two damaged, but with working switches to the Club Meeting @7tooZ Just buy me a beer. 😎

I have some used L6 ones, If you can't find a NOS one.

Your killing me...Zed🤣😂 It also says on the side bar "Manual transmission". But who knows for sure until you see it. The seller thinks it is a 72
