240K with SKYLINE badge
I defer to the Skline/C110 experts, which I am not. I was just trying to answer skyc110's question.

240K with SKYLINE badge
There is no such thing as a '240K from the US'. Any 240K or Skyline that is here came from somewhere else in the world. The were never exported for sale in the US. The only one I've ever seen up close belongs to Mat (Mat Big Hat) who is a member of this site. Beautiful car in my opinion. He has aftermarket wheels. Not sure about what type of badge his steering wheel has. But is does have a 'Skyline' badge on the rear panel but it's different from the one you pictured.

240K with SKYLINE badge
If the car is badged 'Skyline' then it will have 'S' logos on the wheels and steering wheel, etc. If it's badged 'Datsun 240K' then it will have the 'D' emblems. I don't know what Datsun/Nissan's reasoning was but it depended upon which market the cars were going to as to what badging it would have.

240K wheel cap
'Oz' means Australia. The 'D' cap costs less because it's not as rare as the 'S' cap. The 'S' cap was only used on Skyline baged cars and the 'D' cap was used on basically everthing else that had the 40300-R4671 wheel.

Best rust stopper P0R15 or Eastwoods?
Dude, are you just trying to pump up your post count? Waking up these old threads just clutters the front page. I understand that you're fairly new here but most of this stuff has already been answered or forgotten about.

Filipino Z car owner
I know that means 'hello' in Tagalog. I worked for years with someone from the Philippnes but I didn't learn much of the language from him. The only phrase I can recall that may fit here is magandang gabi, which means 'good evening' if I spelled it right. Anyway Peter, welcome to the club.

Color electrical diagram on ebay
The one I mentioned would be 49.5 x 17.5 in. if printed out but it's for a 77 also. I would like to find one for a 78.

how rare is safari gold
It's not rare as I said in the other thread where you originally posed the question. http://zhome.com/History/ZColorGallary/index.html

Info needed about my 71 Fairlady Z
Production numbers for particular colors wern't kept by Nissan. If you are talking about 920 Gold, which the only 240Z gold I've ever known, it's not rare as many members here have cars that color and I've seen many others at the shows, on the road, etc. Take a look at this color chart. http://zhome.com/History/ZColorGallary/index.html

Color electrical diagram on ebay
That's probably the same one I linked to earlier in this thread that was submitted by wal280Z. Your link doesn't work.

Mike, or anyone else
Don't know what it means, really. I just checked the best and worst 50 reputations. You can be 'off the scale' or 'on a distinguished road' and be on either list. What I don't get is how the same person can be the sixth best and the eighth worst because that's what I saw comparing both lists. I don't show up on either list. Not sure if that's good or bad or if I even care.

How long have you had your Z?
I purchased mine 7/28/97. It ran but I got it running properly on 8/22/97 and it's been running ever since. Next year will be our tenth anniversary. Both my marriage (7/14) and the purchase of the Z (7/28).

That's the one I linked earlier but a 78 has a different diagram/schematic.

Factory Seat Covers on Ebay
And how can they be 71-78? Didn't seats change through the years? Are these just covers that slip over the existing upolstery or are they seat upolstery kits?

For you Seattle Seahawk fans...........
It's back! I think it's the same car. The links in this old thread aren't valid on eBay anymore but from what I recall, it's the same one. http://www.king5.com/perl/common/video/wmPlayer.pl?title=www.nwcn.com/nw_020106WAzhawks.wmv

Blower motor doesn't turn on.
If that's the 4 wire prong relay (red/blu, wht/blu, blu/red, black), I've got three of them. We discussed them in another thread and I guess there are three wire and four wire accessory relays for the 240Z. At any rate, they're not for any of my cars and if anyone needs them, you can have them for postage.

Would you like a C110 VCD
I got mine today. Thanks, Lachlan. It plays fine on all but two of our component DVD players. (We have 6!) I'm going to try to copy it to DVD and see if that makes it compatible on the other two. Thanks, again.

Started putting my Z away this weekend
I don't know if you attend the So Cal Datsun gatherings, but if so, look me up and I'll take a look at your 73 a/c. I'm generally the only guy you'll see in an 810 Coupe (Brown) or a 64 L320 (Bright red). I only occaisionally bring the Z.

Opinions on Safety while Under the Car
My ramps have rubber pads on each corner which prevent them from sliding. Had them for years. Bought them at some cheap tool store when I was living in West Covina. But I rarely use them, I just put it on jack stands.

Any one fitted Air Con?
Doesn't matter as long as you mount them and route your lines/hoses properly. I've experimented with both the Nissan (Hitachi MJ167) and the Sanden SD508 in my Z. I've also used the factory receiver/drier and an aftermarket one. Both work about the same but the Sanden is easier to work on, find parts for and costs less.

uber sexy Z on ebay......
It looks like the car wasn't really at the location shown in some of the photos. Kind of like it was superimposed over the scene. Will, when I said JDM replica, I should have put it in parenthesis because I was being facetious.
