Unleaded 95 ron. ( You can use higher Ron doesn't really matter this is only to prevent pre ignition ) Ethanol fuel is only for modern cars that are adapted to it. Ethanol eats rubber and corrodes metal in older cars.

HS30H allready said that by the way 😉

🤣

Oke guys, Kats will be looking out for some parts. It seems the Datsun Roadster early 5 speed used the same internals, the one in the picture attached. IF somebody here from the club has one for sale, or one with good parts, I am also interested.. gr bart

You can tag weld a rolled plate in the roof. I did to with mine. Some bondo and you wont see a thing. Cutting the entire roof is risky for structural deformation and it needs to be super exact or the Windows wont fit. Good luck seems like a complete restoration

I did find the synchros for the first 4 gears.. 5th is a different one and out of stock. Steel Synchro Ring For Datsun 411 Also 311 Roadster Also Direct Drive & Overdrive 5-Speeds 32611-14600 - VINTAGE DATSUN AND NISSAN PARTS (datnissparts.com) X Steel Synchronizer Ring For 5th Gear Datsun Roadster FS5C71A , F5C71B Direct Drive(4th gear) , FS5C71B Overdrives , & Some FS5W71B Overdrives 32361-20100 - VINTAGE DATSUN AND NISSAN PARTS (datnissparts.com) This will get bloody expensive..

S20 engine is really cool also, unique sound to it

That's why I opened up a topic on taxation values. How the hell to they justify these prices? So basically because its not restored and family owned it's worth big bucks?

Haha, well im not getting it.. prices in the US seem to do other things then here, maybe it's because Datsun is not well known like Mustangs here or so ? Market is smaller also. But I could not buy a replacement for 35k 🙄

Well according to my observation, it's worth more in the US ?

Guys, I have a question about taxation.. My 71 was last appraised 3 years ago for 35k EURO which is around 39k USD. Market values have been rising, and my 240Z is restored although in 2016, since then some new things where done to it, like rebuild hood hinges, and driveshafts and diff mount and straps. She is in good original condition. Everything that can be replaced has been replaced. I e-mailed the company that does my taxations, and they said it very depends, the market in the USA is different, and prices are based on emotions ? But I find it odd, it should be a least on average 66k USD according to hagerty? And when I compare other 240Z on websites like bring a trailer, I come to the conclusion that between 55/65 USD would be fair. I have the complete incl first owner history to it, and the first dealership where it was sold. Whats your opinion on the value? Is it really different here in EUROPE? GR Bart

I like the grille much more on this one..

mag wheels to

Offcourse it can be repaired, but it wheel take new wheel arches or maybe a whole rear quarters?
