No, this is a platform to support people who do things on the Internet. You make a small donation and get something in return. In his case, you get daily videos. https://www.patreon.com/mymechanics

My tip: Join his Patreon to receive daily videos and updates 🙂

Part 4 is out:

I am very pleased that the video has been so well received here. He hasn't been known in the Z scene before and doesn't want people to know who he is. I'm therefore taking on a bit of the task of sharing his videos everywhere. I also have to say that all of his documentaries (and there are many more!) help the Z scene a lot. If you want to see more, as a Patreon you get to see a video of the work done every day. When you watch it like this, you can only marvel at how much work goes into the small details.

Part 3 is out now:

Part 2:

It is a normal hydraulic press with only 6t pressure 🙂

Hard to estimate, but he think probably already two months with sheet metal work, blasting and complete painting.

Hello all, I would like to do a little advertising for this channel here. One of my Z friends is restoring a 240Z and has a very special way of documenting it. I think you will all be very interested and it is super relaxing to watch. In general, this is a very exciting channel!

HA! I realize only now that my text to the pictures has not been sent at all. So of course it all makes no sense. Many thanks for the hint. So again: The part number indicates an RHD loom. Excitingly, this number can also only be found in a Japanese book. My documents of the US and EU models do not have this number. This is also very much in line with a forum post I found on the subject: https://zclub.net/community/index.php?threads/what-relay-plugs-in-here.26694/page-3 "24013-N3305 - ASSY - HARNESS INSTRUMENT 07-72 thru 07-73 (HS30). Looks like a stock RHD Export instrument panel harness. 24024-E8200 is a little more obscure. I don't see it in either the R-Drive Export or L-Drive Export factory parts lists, and the 'E82' prefix indicates something first used/developed for the Japanese domestic RHD S30 models for 1971-on production. More specifically, it is in the Japanese market factory parts list as HARNESS - ACCELERATOR - HEAT GLASS & COOLER (superseding 24024-E4100 and 24024-E4101) and - looking at what section it is listed in - it may originally have been designed for the 'Standard' (no frills) model in Japan from '71 up, allowing a factory aircon ('cooler') unit to be installed as an extra cost option. It may then have been fitted to some RHD Export cars in connection with the heated rear window, with the extra connector for the cooler sitting like 'tits on a bull' or an 'appendix/nascent monkey tail' (take yer pick). I can see this on the Japanese market wiring schematics." Maybe that's why the switch doesn't really belong in a US car?! I love things like this!

That is precisely the big question. Was it retrofitted? Was it always like this? I just wanted to document it here. Just like the "FLASH" pull switch, which has not yet been documented here. I actually don't have a white car. Why do you ask?

No, the switch from my picture (marked as "Japan, Euro..." on the older picture) is out of a US car.

And: Today I took the left switch out of a 71 US car.

Hi guys. To warm up this topic, I have another switch: 240Z EU model from NL 1973:

Thanks a lot! Thats why there is nothing in the books!

Both cars I saw this on were US cars. Maybe this is a specific regulation of certain US states?

Yes, the Toyota thing comes up a lot, too, unfortunately. Do you have the book available? Unfortunately, in all these years I have never had the chance to find a copy.

One of his last interviews is particularly exciting. Here he very deliberately avoids many questions and avoids giving clear answers. For example, he is asked what his most difficult design was. The BMW or the Z. He answers, "The most difficult design was a fountain pen." Alan, yes, you told my about it.

Thanks a lot Kats! I think I missed your report. Do you have a link for me? Thank you. Thank you all so much here for the help and advice. In fact, Germany unfortunately holds on to this myth very much and I am trying with my website and the constant conversations with automotive newspapers that the story is finally told correctly.
