Hi everyone, Thank you for your enjoying it. Alan, I enjoyed your great photos as always,I thank you your great effort for reporting this event.Great work Alan!! And I saw the thread "interior elgonomics",I think you got great feelings to be told from Mr.Matsuo directly and you(we) are almost reaching your(our) questions,are not you(we)? I hope this is the begining of keeping in touch with Mr.Matsuo and I want you to keep listening from him and writing here whatever you get.I would love to help you about discover the story of Mr.Matsuo and S30. PS.I put a photo of a tow hook. Thank you, kats

Thank you 2ManyZs, Yes I agree with you,once the glass heats up it keeps well mist out.But I am wondering,1969 Zs do not have a electrick defroster, right? How do the cars defog?And why NISSAN did not aply it for DATSUN 240Z 1969 model?I saw the 2 road test 240Z in Oct 1969 with electrick defroster and show actual working in the cold morning. kats

Alan, Thank you so much at SAGAMIKO event.And I was very happy that you met Mr.MATSUO and he told you so many interesting stories of Z,we are waiting for your new inputs here,Alan. And thank you so much you gave me a fantastic present,a two hook I received it from a postman in the afternoon just before the long range night cruise for SAGAMIKO.I painted it quickly then installed it,looks perfect!!I have been looking for this for a long time.But you got angry because I met you at the event,you could bring the hook for me!Anyway I was very happy I met you again since NISMO festival 2001. Hello 26th-Z,I hope you enjoyed Alan's nice photos.Today I would like to intoroduce japanese web site,featuring many SAGAMIKO's photos there.That is, http://datsun30.hp.infoseek.co.jp/ZOC2003_sagamiko.html You can see also Mr.MATSUO and Mr.YANAGIDA(very famous racer) making a speech. And at the event,I found truely original jute pad for 1969-1970 z. Mr.WATANABE his DEC 1969 fairlady Z432 has still its original jute pads under and behind the seats.Japanese Z's tool boxes lay out is different(just switching left and right)from Left hand Z's. But I can say the basic patterns are the same for both of them.That is , http://www.geocities.jp/datsunz903/M2d.jpg I returned home,then I took my jute pads out from my car,I cut extra jute pads and trimed them for original shape.

And this is actual working rear defroster. For complete defrost,it took about 30 minutes. Is this too slow? kats

A japanese Glass company ASAHI's tag.

A small tag on the driver's side lower corner. I found this was also seen in the 240z for road test in the U.S. in Oct 1969.

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
