Hi Ian and Gavin , thanks for your input , this place ( classiczcars.com ) changed my image “ flat top “ . I just don’t know what it is like , I had just followed the rumors without having experience with it . I have a friend whose car has flat tops and really mint condition, I must see it and feel it .

Oh , this Toyota 2000GT is an automatic, "TOYO GLIDE" model. And an airconditioning blowere has to sit in the middle of the both seats ! No space in a dashboard, while S30 (Fairlady Z /Fairlady 240Z series except Z432 and Z432-R) has an in-dash airconditioning system assembled in a factory. Did you notice Toyota 2000GT has the same seat belts which manufactured by TAKATA , I saw it in some Honda models too. Kats

Thank you bartsscooterservice, I think S30 was modern in many ways , unibody is one of them . Thanks Alan , yes S30 was a huge quantity model , Nissan Shatai reached 6000 S30 cars per month in April 1972 ! While Toyota 2000 GT was 30 cars per month , big difference. Unibody is good for less weight, for example Z432 is 1040 kg , ( S20 Engine 199kg ) , Toyota 2000GT 1145 kg ( 3M Engine 209 kg ) . Courtesy モーターワールド Nov 1970 , 自動車の実務 Feb 1970 , 月間自動車 Jan 1970 . Kats

Hi Ian , thanks , I am now learning about the air inlet , but I did not know that , looking at the catalog did not tell it to me . I studied HMB 46 has many new features , one of them is a power jet when the throttle butterfly is wide open . Kats

Thanks Alan ! That is a great infomation. At Aug 1973 , UK and Europe got the most powerful S30 ever, L26 with 161BHP or something ? At that time, Z432 (160BHP) was dropped from the Nissan's line up. I have read an article of a Japanese magazine about 240Z europe model test ride , the journalist envied the europian customers so much. I found these picture , the metalic brown UK 260Z was on an auction 2016 , and the 110 red 240ZG was on a sale in Japan 2006. They are very useful to look at . Kats

So I classified them like this , At the end of Datsun 240Z / Fairlady Z and 240Z series ‘ s production, the most strict and complicated anti pollution system is for #1 US and Canada ( air pump , and a lot of piping , HMB 46 ) #2 Japan ( No air pump but a canister , HMB 46 ) #3 Europe and Australia, New Zealand ( just simple, HJG 46 ) Is it correct? You see the black bottle, that is the canister for Fairlady Z models.( except Z432 ) Kats

About the Summer/ Winter air cleaner, after 03/1973 , Fairlady Z series ( except Z432 ) has a new bigger air cleaner which has the vacuum operated valve with a temperature compensation . Excerpt from スクランブルカーマガジン 03/82 , Parts catalog Fairlady Z 1973 . And I looked FSM and Service bulletin for 1973 240Z. Kats

I found one thing that inferior to the door mirror is , I can’t see nore enjoy the beautiful rear quarter body lines and the C pillar emblem , if you have these fender mirrors. Kats

Thanks Cliff ! Thanks Blue , I think I don’t get it correctl?y but , here are pictures. This morning I drove my Z432 to an airport. Kats

Thanks Patcon ! Always I thank you all , here is my best English school for me , because it is " free " Kats

Thanks grannyknot ! And that is a good question, fender mirror is easy because you do not have to move your head to check the mirror, you just slide your eye point to the fender mirrors. But not easy to adjust the mirrors, the best way is to have your assistant for your best rear view . And the fender mirrors can show the rear view relatively smaller than the door mirror I think .
