Hi Alan, Not much info on the part. It appears in a photo of shell HS30-00741 in Australia. The photos were taken a while ago. I saw the application then remembered Kats thread. Here is the Aus info: http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/13773-early-girl-bingo-with-photos/?p=192129 https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipNl5Dbc6AlAPDlauRJ5eaLA8JMaql4Oee-fzrc9jUBQcg8UYa18piZD58gTZ1jLGQ?key=NVJGLU1oTGZvM1Y2VGx5Ymp2dW9UOGFIR3h4OGNR

Poor Mr. Matsuo had to wait a year to get the car he designed!

Fake Fusible link to ECU harness?

I was lucky and had a helper!

On the to do list with my delayed 72 restoration. Each fastener will be measured, photographed, and catalogued on line. Below is a somewhat related Nissan fastener document General-Datsun Torque Specifications.pdf

Fire Engine Red.... go figure

One of the few Z's that has an engine compartment that looks full!

Looks like $600 is the going price. I think your early one may command more if you can find any casting differences to differentiate it.

Kats I am like you in the mirror trade.....I just bought the one in the first post. I am hoping it is an early mirror but it could be from a 510 or other Datsun I'm picking it up at Zcon in Texas so hopefully Zup or other experts may console me.

I always wondered if one could peel a dash, refresh the foam then fit a dash cap on it to replace the one that was peeled. Just some heated expansion of the tach. and speedo holes to fit these devices in from the front would make it functional . What say ye?

Kats, that one is on Yahoo Japan Auction for ~ $700 https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b188580701 How much are the original 432R mirrors selling for?

I think you are correct. Maybe the racers put them higher for better forward visibility: "It don't matter who's behind you, only who's in front of you."

The mirror w/o the glare-proof toggle seems to appear in some of the early 432R racers in Japan in spring of 1970. They seem wider at the top too which is like the one in the first post. That crusty grey plastic also seems to agree with the photo below and with other early parts like the ashtray and heater panel. 1970 09 05 Fuji International Golden Race 1970 07 25 All Japan Fuji 1000km

Thanks Alan! Thanks Jim, I'll have a look at 510 mirrors my friends have. It could be one but this one seems to be more trapezoidal.

Are there Z mirrors without the toggle switches like the one in the pictures, or are these from a different car?

I'll have a rental. Should I bring a helmet?

Actually Zedy is a rocket scientist... no BS or leg pulling! He is a smart fellow and has beautiful Datsuns.

Mike, was this available in the earlier registration package or was it just added? I thought I had signed up for it so I am a bit mixed up...as usual

20mph is correct (built for speed!). The oil pressure gauge also goes to 140psi rather than 90psi.
