Kats, I will be in Osaka may 15-25. Where is this museum? I will be in Higashi and Umeda.

So the later 8 track with DX had the signal seeker auto-tuning ? Thats some rare stuff you have. Would love to know how you found it.

Like that Tokyo Datsun sticker. Nice classic touch. You got me wondering if there were any pure race versions of the ZG and I googled and found a 1973 zg GTS-II I have never heard of this before or i have but forgot (old brain). It has a crossflow head LY28 engine. I'm assuming its an OS Giken head. From what i've read before, the standard ZG has the nose,headlight covers, wider fender flares and what they call group-4 racing specs. Not sure what those are. Edit: Kats i'm going to be in Osaka/Nagoya in may. Any chance you taking me for a ride in that 432?

At 80,000$ this could have been the most expensive Z restoration ever. Add in another 20-30k for the rest of the resto and you're into 6 figures easily. Do you have a nickname for this car?

"Another 2 years in the body shop" WTH? get that bodyman some caffeine STAT.

This car looks like it has 123,000 miles. I hope the bidders aren't thinking thats the true mileage. Rockers look like they're caked with bondo and rusting underneath. Solid california car otherwise. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-Z-Series-DATSUN-RARE-240-Z-SURVIVOR-CALIFORNIA-CAR-ORIGINAL-/381560716417?forcerrptr=true&hash=item58d6ca7c81:g:gc0AAOSwZ8ZW2Mxz&item=381560716417 YOU ARE BIDDING ON A 1972 DATSUN 240Z WITH ONLY 23K ORIGINAL MILES NUMBERS MATCHING ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION 2ND OWNER

Good to hear. A 2 year ground up resto only deserves the best parts. Glad to have helped. I'de like to see pictures of the car if you've got em. Sooner or later the repro guys will figure out their error and start building correct door cards for the 260. Edit: For future reference if anyone is buying repro's from the the usa to oz.. It cost 2oo usd to send 2 door cards to OZ using the usps. but that was using a 20 lb wooden box. You could do it for probably half that if you used cardboard but would risk damage.

I googled ford pinto gas tank fire and wow tons of burning pinto photo's "tyres" ??? you're not from around here are you?

overseas buyer i think. He is making it convenient to get it to a shipping port.

Well Gavin, do the nissan factory door panels I sent fit his car better than the reproductions?

It sold for $1076.00 with only 2 bids. I thought for sure such a rare item would have sold for at least $1500

Do you want to sell yours? Someone should take a silicone mould of that faceplate so that others can be made.

This is the later style hitachi 8 track and they even made a hitachi cassette that i've seen in the s31. I will keep an eye out for the older 8 track. Back in the day they even had adapters for 8 tracks that let you play cassette tapes

Very had to find what you're looking for. I've got a later am/fm unit thats aftermarket. You have a 70 240 ? You might be interested in this one on ebay. You might just be able to put a new faceplate on it to fit a 240z http://www.ebay.com/itm/1971-Datsun-510-8-Track-Player-and-Radio-/231849189127?vxp=mtr I do believe the "stock hitachi" 8 track for the s30 was only available in markets outside the usa and will be difficult to find. This is a video of the one kats put in his 70 z432. https://youtu.be/dp3rXgBE7pU

I've enlarged that photo and I see gravesites all over that yard!

Got a rusty gas tank? Got a rusty suspension? Get that por15 on all tha body rust asap.

Here is the holy grail. Behold... a brand new one. Edit: location secret until after Gav240z refinances house and buys new radio
