Hello,everyone I got a NOS rear glass with defroster through japanese auction. My original one did not work,two electric terminals were deteriorated and almost broken off. New one was installed recently,and today I have to drove in the rain,I had a oppotunity to test my defroster. It did work,I am very happy with it but it was so slow to defrost.I was about to reglet my spending a lot of money for it. Roughly 10 minutes after switch it on,gradualy began to defrost. How do every one do with this defroster? Thanks kats

Hello abas, This is the one which I want to buy. I see it is dirty but if I clean it, will be good looking easily,won't it be? Do you see any major damage or crack on the surface? If it does not have big problem,could you sell it for me?I want to buy it. To minimize shipping cost,without steel wheel is preferable. Anyway,thank you abas. kats

Hi abas, This is a very good news for me,I am very interested in yours. It does not matter it is dirty or clean,I want to see it. When you get photos,please show me,please. Thank you, kats

Hi, This stamp is easy for me,we say "Ken" and this means "inspected" But I do not know stamps for my chocks,these are "C" with circle and "O" with circle. kats

original 175SR14

Hello, I am still looking for original 175SR14 for my March 1970 240Z. Here are very good photos of "bridgestone super speed radial 20 -175SR14" by 26th-Z kindly allow me to post these for my "wanted"thread. If someone can sell this tyre for me,please let me know. And if someone wants bridgestone 6.45-14 skyway-H, I can sell NOS 4 tyres.I have 8 of them,4 are installed now. Thank you, kats

Thank you very much 26th-Z, I will post your original 175SR14 on my "wanted"thread. It will be a great help to notify someone who can find and sell the tyre for me. Thank you , kats

Hi Alan, Yes, Mr.IGARASHI said in his book following, #1 Oct 10th 1969, R382 won #2 Oct 15th 1969 , A big party held by NISSAN for won R382 and 510 safari #3 Oct 18th 1969, press pre-view event #4 Oct 24th 1969, he took the photo of 240Z in TOKYO motor show began. #5 Nov 25th 1969, test drive day for journalists I identified the difference in C-piller emblem for fairlady-Z. I found early fairlady-Zs like press photo or motor show have different color pattern C-piller emblem.They have additional silver ring around "Z" but later ones do not have just painted black. For DATSUN 240Z,same story,earliest C-piller 240Z emblem and deck 240Z emblem have chrome plated "Z" later ones have white"Z". I told it from my Z friend Jeff in the U.S. kats

Hi 2ManyZs, As Alan posted,the wheels on the test vehicle are different from actual sold model"Z-432". Z-432's wheel is made of magnesium,so at that time owners were cautioned not to remain in solt-water. 1970 Jan magazine said 50,000yen for 1 wheel(aproximately $150 U.S.)This wheel was very expensive,now they are still expensive in yahoo auction in JAPAN.$1,000 U.S. for 4 wheels. Thanks, kats

Hi, This photo is from a May 1970 DATSUN 240Z service bulletin. You can see "HL270". 270 is a "KAIHATSU-KIGOU"means development or project or pre-production code of S30. S30 is a model name,you know.

This is a same 240Z as Alan last posted

Hi, Thank you very much,240 in OZ. I saw them 175HR14 on ebay and I was going to bid but I did not.Because I wanted 175SR14,I wanted which I saw in catalog and it was different from the ebay item. I think the photo of 26th-Z is showing exactly original 1970 175 SR14.Because I can see same tread pattern in many magazines and factory catalog. I still want to buy 175 SR14,I posted "wanted" in other thread before.I will resume that thread. To 26th-Z,may I use your photo "175SR14"for my other"wanted" thread? If you allow me to attach the photo,it is easy to show everyone what I want . Thank you, kats P.S.You can see the tread pattern in this photo.Same as 26th-Z's photo,is not it? This is a HLS30 for test drive on Nov 25th 1969. This day was a test drive day for journalists. There were 3Zs, a yellow fairlady Z-L, a green fairlady Z-432, and a DATSUN 240Z not mention color(seems me green with tan interior). Please note no-rear window defroster,and a lisence plate is a temporaly issued one which we can see it in all Zs in the earliest japanese catalog. And deck emblem"240Z" has "Z" in chrome plated not painted white,this is only for early(1969)?

Hi, What everyone do with this plastic washer for quater trim? This is a new old stock from NISSAN several years ago. I save original one but it is got sun- tan. I saw washers on interior door panel,is this happened only early 240Z? Please let me know about it. kats

Hi,26th-Z That tire is exactly what I want.I posted before on another thread and I have been asking is there anybody can sell this 1970 original 175sr14 for me. I want to have 5 of them,But currently no one offer me. It is too diffcut to get but I am ready for paying more than expected. Thank you 26th-Z,nice photos.This is the first time I see clearly original 1970 175sr14.Great photos. kats

Hi, I can see the steel wheels are different and these are what Mr.MATSUO told me before he wanted to put as standerd equipment for 240Z but NISSAN refused because of much higher cost. Thanks, kats

Alan, What a great picture it is!!Thank you so much,I knew this shot in japanese photographic magazine but it was mono-color. This is a beautiful color photo,this is what I have been looking for long time.Alan you know,my 240Z is not original blue I want to paint it as original #903 in the future. I think due to age or something,it is seen little bit different from actual body color,this is a picture anyway. I think this shot was taken by Mr.IGARASHI,I was going to ask him to show original print,I thought he must have it as a color print. But Mr.MATSUO told me unfortunately he died 2 or 3 years ago.He was a very very keen about car not only japanese but also for europian and american car. His book is really fan to look at. I want to see more pics if you have,Alan. P.S I would like to say agian these photos I posted are from Mr.OSAWA's 8mm video movie,I took shots from my home TV. But Mr.OSAWA also took so many pictures at a same time during on road test. Thank you, kats

Yes,they are same 240Z. Mr.OSAWA showed me that picture,I saw it is a color picture. In the magazine,it is black and white. He let me took a look so many pictures of road test in the U.S. I will post some from my 8mm scanning. kats
