  1. This is a Las Vegas dealer ad that was featured on Hemmings - with that exposure and price, it could be long gone. http://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/datsun/240z/1796404.html?refer=home
  2. Any Elizas out there? When I go in the garage, I'm reminded of the do-little part http://petrolicious.com/articles/daily-fix/yes-nissan-named-a-car-after-the-musical-my-fair-lady
  3. I don't have access to the Honsowetz or Bob Waar "How to Modify..." books for tech support at the moment but this is accepted practice to gain a little more low-end grunt at the expense of high-end power. To be safe, cycle the cam by hand first to make sure everything is as it appears and there's no unexpected resistance.
  4. It lacks the style points of adapting a factory part, but an option is to rewire the switch for flash-to-pass capability. This diagram for modifying a Datsun 510's wiring circuits shows additional relays installed as well. http://datsun510.com/data/3018/510_Lighting_Flsh-to-Pass.jpg
  5. Video clip: http://www.velocity.com/tv-shows/chasing-classic-cars/videos/unbelievable-time-warp/
  6. No technical specs on this photo from JNC but these would appear to be Cromodora 14"(?) on a Japanese car. Really fit nicely with the Ferrari Daytona characteristics of the Z.
  7. The LHD 2000GT in the recent Keno Brothers auction went for $610,000 http://www.kenobrothers.com/auctions/1968-toyota-2000-gt
  8. Their site shows the car was sold for $152,500 (plus fees).
  9. In the driving video, the complete hood looks to be in place. For the OS Giken SEMA booth, a modified hood gave the car some finishing touches but still kept their engine on display. More info from the JNC site: http://japanesenostalgiccar.com/2015/11/05/sema-2015-day-01-the-emergence-of-old-school-japan/
  10. This car caused quite a stir at SEMA recently, the product of Z Car Garage and OS Giken. Thanks to the ZCG blog, there's now video -- and audio http://www.zcarblog.com/2015/11/16/performance/os-giken-tc24-b1z-in-action.html
  11. Guess the other key number in this listing is the goose-egg in the feedback rating. Too much money to take at face value.
  12. Less than 18k on the odo, so the NEXT seller could tidy it up and claim a legitimate, original, seriously low-miles car. Might see it back on the market in a few months ...
  13. Take it one step farther - 14" hubcaps on 15" wheels: http://www.imperialclub.com/~imperialclub/Repair/Wheels/convert/index.htm http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/384577/how-to-attach-a-14-inch-hubcap-to-a-15-inch-rim.html
  14. Are you sure that's not sealant used to keep the oil baffle and screws in place?

    1967 510

    Great vintage promos, BGM! Minor detail on this one is that it's actually the 411 wagon that preceded the 510 intro in 1968.
  16. They're well established in the collector car world as well, which makes comments in the listing about the growing Japanese car market all the more relevant.
  17. Keno Bros. auctions has a Fairlady listed for 11/19 in New York. http://www.kenobrothers.com/auctions/1972-nissan-fairlady-z432
  18. The LED topic is a recurring one -- here's a good comparison of headlight choices from Jalopnik: http://thegarage.jalopnik.com/should-you-swap-your-headlight-bulbs-for-leds-1728026383
  19. Courtesy of Alvin Gogineni and the Z-Car Garage gang, here's a great Datsun-centric view of this year's Rolex: http://www.zcarblog.com/2015/08/30/automotive-history/events-rolex-monterey-motorsports-reunion.html
  20. Not your everyday project car - looks, handling, and 1,000+ hp: http://www.speedhunters.com/2015/08/1000hp-of-datsun-fury/
  21. FWIW, there is a Vogtland presence in North America in Temecula, CA: http://vogtland-na.com/en/index.php
  22. Is there any kind of protective coating that works below the battery to prevent corrosion in the first place? Seems like excessive washing would distribute more water and acid in a vulnerable area.
