" I'm very happy to have the vented quarter. much less problems with maintenance and good ventilation without the back incoming exhaustgasses " Same... I also think that is the reason the factory changed the design 😉

Datsun-240z Vs Fairlady-z432
I think you can ship a batch by sea freight, but air it not possible with rattle cans, because explosion danger

My Datsun 240Z
No just a good paste wax. My main goal was polishing the paint, because it was getting dull in certain spots after a wash. Paint job was done 8 years ago. I can always apply new paste wax myself. Not a big fan of modern glass or Ceramic coatings

My Datsun 240Z
I brought the z to a car detailer who polished it..it was full of swirls etc. Paint is 8 years old but wel maintained. Looks like new again he did a great job.

My Datsun 240Z
Okay, thanks ! Then the diff I found with it is correct

My Datsun 240Z
To be sure ? I assumed the 3.900 diff ratio came behind this FS5C71A and not the 3.36 or 3.75 ( automatic ? ) Does somebody have a manual or something to check it out ?

My Datsun 240Z
I finally picked up the A type....5 speed today.... rebuild.. I won't install it this year anyhow, but then I have it laying around, the guy who rebuild is going to retire and close his shop next year, so I was just in time...

not bad ! he really did put in effort. Is this allowed by Ferrari ? Cause usually when you make replica's you have lawyers all over you 😂 It's cool but I wouldn't drive around in a replica lol

It's a problem with allmost all modern weather stripping kits. Seals used to be softer in the past to. The door slamming thing is also because to hard and thick modern seals, i found a problem for that finding my own seal at an industrial supplier. Currently not a Z but my 70 mustang was painted last year, and the rear glass was out, they put a new seal but it's leaking everywhere when I wash it and even with rain. ordered a more expensive one, going to try again.

Could be, hard to tell from pictures, but I can see what Mart is saying here. Could be just light effects

Yours is very nice Mart ! I think the 280zx is more of a grand tourer, and it's interior and handling are much more modern compared to the 240z

The service manuals are dated by year and domestic or export MODEL, the series term on the front is only to determine S30 serie(S ! ) I agree that $^!# is confusing, got me to in the beginning. I'm not here to fight who is right or not wright lol. If you want to call it a series 1 go ahead. It's funny i'm now about 15 years into restoring classic cars ( US and JDM ) and bikes to ) , what I find is that basically on ALL cars and bikes of that time period, changes through the years and even months occured quickly, because quickly changing goverment regulations etc. So every kind of classic club has it's own way of seperating changes throughout the years. Some became a myth, some are true.

That's not specific with Datsun, almost all brands had that in the day, because changes followed each other so rapidly. Some parts from 69/70 where left over and stuffed in a 71 with some new things together, I just restored a 1965 515 zundapp moped, some thing going on there, some parts from previous model 510, some parts from later model 517 allready. My 70 Mustang the same, it shares things from a 69, but not everything

Guys there is no such thing as a " series 1,2 etc " ....

Seems the hype is over for now, values are steady. I wonder how it will go in the future, because interest from newer generations will move to. How many cars from the 50s let alone the 30's pre war do you still see on the road ? They also become so expensive normal folks cant afford them anymore.
