    I would probably go for another set if you decide to make another batch. The one set I bought is very nice - very well done.

    Oh yea! Nice images, Blue. The photo from Melbourne is stunningly crisp. I can make out the wires coming out of the headlight bucket under the front fender. Notice the gas door lock; standard in other export markets. All we got was that cheesy plastic knob. The Earls Court car has chrome Zs, Kats. I think it sits high also. The wheel angle looks funny. Perhaps the car was lifted into place and the suspension is not settled. Do you see how the paint texture is rough in the fender well? Undercoating. It almost looks like dirt but that can't be. In a car show?

    Let me know how this plays out. I'm still interested.

    Your Z32 graphic is stretched as the 'Z' is in a circle, not an oval. The 'Z' is always inscribed to a circle. Always.

    I like the rear stabilizer idea, Kats. Thanks for all the pictures!

    Euro springs?

    From the archives. I think yours are stock US spec.

    Most probably February 1971. According to ZHome.com HLS30-22441 is a February car and so is HLS30-23242.

    Is that so!?!???

    Think about it...back in the late sixties, headlights influenced the design of the front fenders far more than they do today. Air flow around (and through) the car was not nearly as sophisticated as today. The design of cars today are influenced by many different factors that just didn't exist back then. I'm having a hard time with the "gaping grouper" front grill myself.

    This is much more current. http://blog.caranddriver.com/nissan-z-concept-coming-production-car-could-reach-500-horsepower/ January 2017

    Yes. This car has been covered ad-nauseum here and Facebook. There are many things wrong with the car including the lack of wheel caps for those replica wheels.

    Yes, those appear to be the real deal although I know of only one "re-manufacture" and even those were very well done. I don't know of the "cheap knock-offs" the seller is talking about. According to Kats, the trim rings came in four different designs. Here is his sketch.

    Yea, I found that on the internet too! About 13 years ago.

    Hey Ben! Haven't talked to you in a long time.

    I have the footrest but I need the plastic cover thing. Do you have one spare to sell?

    I don't recognize that sticker and my early cars did not have any stickers on the air box. My air boxes hold the filter element in a different manner. See the semi-circular lips inside to hold the filter in place? Mine don't have that. The outside of the air box is indented to hold the filter and there are much smaller alignment tabs on the inside. I own a number of these air boxes and they are all different in minor ways. I think Kats did a write-up on air filters boxes where he also discussed the different types of wing tip bolts.

    That's my favorite color, Kats. Looking good! Sorry to hear about your slave cylinder. It will buff out!!!!

    Oh, be certain the Texas guys will show up in force. Have you never been to Austin or a ZCON? If you have never been to a ZCON, I highly recommend spending the time and money to do it. You won't need to "meet up". You will be immersed...for days. Its quite the experience.

    What model year is that Z? Lovely color combo - red with a white interior. There is a Lion Country Safari in Loxahatchee. I worked for a guy who raised lamas for the park. He had a big farm in Tallahassee. When he was younger, he was an extra in a Johnny Weissmuller Tarzan movie. God speed, Ernie!

    Ummm....hire an architect. I agree. It needs MUCH more thought. Wouldn't hurt to read the building code either. As it is, it can't be built. It's unsafe.
  23. 26th-Z
    That's interesting. I've never seen one of those before.

    The "OIL" (710) cap is early original and the Elephant cap is later. It is my understanding that the symbol is that of Standard Vacuum Oil Company, a 1930s joint venture between Standard Oil of New Jersey and Mobil Oil.

    Yes. "Hoover" is the proper Datsun terminology for the part (inclusive). "Hoover" is a little old school, however. "Dyson" would be a more modern term.
