I'm not sure which 6 digit number you are referring to. The 5 digit number next to the city name (in bold) is the zip code. -Mike
-
If you have your original owners manual it is probably in there. Two of my cars have the original manuals and it has the dealer information filled out. -Mike

For those looking for Datsun dealership information, here is an old thread that may be helpful. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29732 I think the 1971 list I have at home also has Canadian and Mexican dealership information, so I can look up the Ontario dealer info for you when I get home Zak's Z. -Mike

I think this one is from a 73, although it is a little rough. Not sure where I got this from. It was posted somewhere, maybe on this site. If it belongs to anyone here, sorry for not giving proper credit for it. -Mike
-
It might be tough to use the one Zulator posted though, since it is a photo shot at an angle with glass reflections on it. If you seach on the site you might find a scan of one for a 72, if that is what you need. -Mike

Welcome to the club. Is this the car you bought? http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31247&highlight=blue+edmonton I agree with Marty. Original cars retain their value more, but you can still make some mods to it, as long as they are easliy reversable and you keep the original parts. Good luck with it and post some more pictures when you get a chance. -Mike

No, but I have seen people post scans of originals, so it wouldn't be too hard to make your own. They changed over time, so you would need to get the correct one for the year of your car. -Mike

Ronnie, as I noted earlier, I have been in contact with the guy that made reproductions of these before (same ones sold by Zedddsaver) and he should have another knob ready soon. I think Will will also be making reproductions fairly soon. -Mike

Yes, he is a dead ringer for Mr. K don't you think? ROFLROFLROFL -Mike

Its actually pretty easy to get out as long as you're not trying to save the rubber windshield seal. I use a thin metal spatula and carefully remove the two small upper corner trim pieces and the small center piece at the bottom. Then take the spatula and slide it under the outside edge of the trim. Continue sliding the spatula straight down parallel to the windshield rather than lifting up on the trim. This cuts the outside trim channel and after you cut all the way around the trim just lifts out. -Mike

Yes, sorry I couldn't make out the bracket in your picture before, but that does look like it. If you can just unscrew and remove the stud then it should work fine to use the correct bolt, washers and rubber insulator. -Mike
-
Is the picture you show of the 72 bumper you have? If so, it must have been modified. The original bumper for a 72 does not have a stud with a round rubber spacer on the end. It has a bracket with a captive nut and you attach a bolt from the inside of the fender to secure it. There is a thick rubber square with a slit in it that covers the end of the bracket with the nut to protect the paint on the car. I happen to have my front bumper off my 72 now, so I can take a picture and post it tonight if you want. -Mike

Les at Classicdatsun.com has the correct orange air box paint. I took a quick glance at your list and it all seems correct to me. -Mike

Looks like the car is up on eBay now with the same three camera phone pics. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-Z-Series-240z-1971-datsun-240z_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6187QQihZ012QQitemZ220358711800QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW -Mike

Wally, your car is looking great. That is a serious looking fuel pump on the engine too! -Mike
-
Did you use the same wiring harness that was in your old dash or did the new dash come with a harness and you are using that? -Mike
-
Actually, it was based on the two pictures you attached in post #66 above. Why paint it blue with the block if you are going to paint it black this week? -Mike
-
Here is one on eBay with no holes for the rubber strips. It is in Australia. http://cgi.ebay.com/DATSUN-NISSAN-240Z-260Z-FRONT-METAL-CHROME-BUMPER-BAR_W0QQitemZ140300374393QQihZ004QQcategoryZ6763QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem -Mike

I see that you painted your oil pan blue to. I think it and the engine mounts were originally painted black and then had varying amounts of blue overspray as the engine blocks were painted. Here are some pictures of the oil pan on my 1972. Notice the blue engine overspray. I would probably just go all black, unless you are trying to duplicate what you know was the original overspray pattern specific to your car, but that's just me. -Mike

You may want to refer to this thread regarding replacing the various gas hoses with OEM or not. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25857&highlight=gas+hoses -Mike

Zeddsaver didn't make them. The person I know did, and Zeddsaver bought them from him. -Mike
-
The guy that has made them in the past got back to me and said he would probably be able to make some more. It sounds like he needs to revise his mold a little, but that shouldn't take too long. I'll let you know when I hear more. -Mike

Someone I know reproduced these about two years ago and sold a few on eBay. I'm checking with him to see if he has anymore. If not, I can bring you one to use next month Will. -Mike

Yes, a Z31 is a 1984 to 1989 300ZX. -Mike
