About the same here in Europe. I predicted this a long time ago. A big crash or " economic reset " is coming.

Good one. I think not because they where titled as 70 , since so few where made in 69. But for me the factory build tag remains the build date, not when it was titled, although this system is still beeing used today. Correct me if i am wrong woke z police 🤣

@katshttps://www.justdashes.com/ These guys restore dashes, i came across it when Jay Leno featured it. Some must have known before, the owner started out with Datsun z dash... If you can do it yourself offcourse that will save a lot of money

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_P_engine That's not related to the L series Nissan engine. The third generation has the 2.8 L series though as an option. Nice Patrol you have there!

Yes...

Haha this is funny, cause it's confusing my dad all the time. In his memory he makes the 280ZX the 280Z. Then I tell him there never was a 280Z here haha. Alot of people confuse the 280Z and ZX cause the name 280.. I think

It could be, but also not. Those tag plates where made in mass for 69/70/71 etc, then a stamping machine put the serie number and month into it. ( or it could be done by hand, maybe Kats knows this )

It's a 70 according to the door tag, sold in 71, titled in 71.

S30 series is S30, even with all the different versions of it. A factory designation for a chassis series. Then came the S130. You are making a way to big thing of this

Your saying the same but in a more difficult way .

The '' factory designation '' yes.. Like an example.. BMW called it's 3 series " E36 " in the 90's for instance, or like Mercedes called the 190 model the " W201 " In common language for the average folks, it's simply a Datsun 240Z, 260Z or 280Z ( S30 )

Once again confirming there is no such things as a series 1,2 3 .. Changes like with other brands just went througout production

They say in the comments, it was not a full resto, they only do bodywork

Looks the same like they did with the chevelle im doing here now. Cut out the old and overlay... That's not the way it should be done🤪.

Like Mart says it's a 70 . The title might be 71… cause it was sold in 71

Picked it up. Next stop dropping it off at the rebuild shop, where the other damaged fs5c71a is.. now we can finally complete this.. 👌

Some update: I did a lot of searching and e-mails to Datsun clubs and people around the world. Also Kats helped in this. A shop in Australia could also help me with parts for the FS5C71A. Then by luck, a garage here in Brabant Pronvince, close to Zeeland, had a complete transmission laying around ! How luck is that ? I'm going to pick it up coming weeks, then drop it off at the transmission shop so he can check it out, and then I can complete my original 240Z 5 speed swap in the future.

Then it would be light weight sound deadening

On top of that was a rubber mat?

The ratio's are different for the 5 speed transmission so i dont think the final same top speed claim is correct.

Well I have one now ( 2 actually now) Mart. Pretty sure the A came in the European market. They are just even harder to find because most z's rotted away here and where scrapped. I think I Just got lucky.

You could try sanding it and then apply boat laquer clear coat with a brush

The rust monster is busy again I see ....

i have an r180 here with 3.90, but it's from a 240z non us, so they did make them, just not on the later z's
