I was in Lisbon in 2018 and bought some NOS parts from a nice previous z owner. It was a 1974. He shared these photos:

Nice company:

Buyer beware.

Are they claimed to be original or reproductions? Perhaps ask for a higher resolution photo of this area and we can tell. The photos above are too small to see details.

It looks like your battery is not charging. The 13.9V is a healthy charging voltage so this means your alternator is working correctly. The 12.1 V after the battery has rested means it is weak. It should be 12.6V to 12.8V. Please repeat the test tomorrow morning and take a few measurements while "digging-in" the probe tips from the voltmeter to see if the voltage really is 12.1V on a rested battery.

In North America, all of the 1970 date coode cars had a centre air vent without the vertical supports

some changes make whistling sounds.

Yes...I agree... but we are speaking two different things. I'm refereeing to how people drive. Digression: I plotted top gears' course times using time against HP. I figured any anomalies would bring out the cars with better tracking... it turns out there were several anomalies so I figured I found "great cars".... when I looked closer, it was the pro drivers that made them stand out.

Delta context is "HP or Speed loss due to pollution items".

I agree... just pressing a little harder on the pedal is all that most people have to do to make up the delta.

Back in "the hood".

Thanks a million Alan! That photo was from 2003 when I first got my 280z and 240z were more of a curiosity. It was local and had Fred Flintstone floor but I just recalled it had a fibreglass hood.

@HS30-H Hi Alan, Here is a picture of an old fibreglass hood on an 03-70 240. Does it look like something from Nissan or aftermarket?

A Three on the tree, Stick Shift was Poplar back then. It was a Beech to shift though.

Check battery voltage for completeness. It should be ~ 12.6V in the morning before starting the car and ~ 13.5 to 14.5V at idle.

I actually set to 40 degrees and creeped along at ~ 2 to 5mph for a minute once just to see where ping occurred.

Get a Gnose... the hinge is different ?

The word "neutral" is used so it confused me.

187 circa 2017 pulled from the Hoover bag ? Looks nice!

The wording seems to be for an automatic in 1971.
