Kats FullSizeRender.mov 73.78 MB · 0 downloads Hi Kats, I'm still having trouble getting a full set together. I now have 3 narrow Kobe Seiko mag wheels and 1 wide wheel, so I need either 1 more wide and 1 more narrow. I did find a wide 1 on YAJ! But was outbid by someone on the East Coast of the US of A. I have a possible lead on another lot but haven't pursued then yet as I'm sure the asking price is outside my budget. So the M-speed ones will give me a complete set and require less special treatment. 3 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/23900-datsun-240z-vs-fairlady-z432/?page=141#findComment-634900 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kats Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share #1684 Posted January 28, 2022 Nice collection Gavin , hope you will get other Works wheels soon . Do you know another reproduction wheels are recently available in Japan ? It’s design came from a well known Works wheel , just make it narrower and smaller . https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/j1030354322 Watanabe has intermittently been reproducing this Works design in 15 inch , with much wider rim both magnesium and aluminum. But this time who is making it? 14 inch with 7J is just right for my taste .

Gav240z Posted January 28, 2022 Share #1685 Posted January 28, 2022 Yeah I love the "Gotti" style wheels, I would be tempted to get a set of those also. 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/23900-datsun-240z-vs-fairlady-z432/?page=141#findComment-634974 Share on other sites More sharing options...

26th-Z Posted February 4, 2022 Share #1687 Posted February 4, 2022 Ha! Thanks! I don't have "Fairlady Z Story& History" so I just ordered it. Will go well with my library. 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/23900-datsun-240z-vs-fairlady-z432/?page=141#findComment-635357 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kats Posted February 4, 2022 Author Share #1688 Posted February 4, 2022 I highly recommend that you get this book for your library. It contains a lot of pictures which were taken at motor shows in late 69 and early 70 . We can see the details when the cars were fresh right from the factory. And even more , there are special photos which are provided by Alan for the part of rally cars !

xs10shl Posted February 4, 2022 Share #1690 Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) Is that Rally Car 8D-420? There's a glare just over the number. (edit: somehow miraculously worked my way through the on-line screens of the SAN EI publisher, and bought an online version. Great books! BTW, yes: 8D-420, which is the car featured in 1/71 Auto Sport. They've made a few changes to it after the photo shoot, prior to this show.)

zed2 Posted February 4, 2022 Share #1691 Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) On 1/25/2022 at 2:08 AM, kats said: This Z432 belongs to Mr. Uekubo , he did restoration work by his own hands , metal work , paint work , and mechanical components refurbish work , interior trimming work , and S20 rebuilding. It took him almost 20 years to complete when he finally took the car on the road in 2021 . He was cleaver to do it, he had been collecting parts from local Nissan since late 1990’s . So most of parts which were applied in this car are NOS parts from Nissan , just amazing. Funny thing is, he found this Z432 in a vegetable field covered by lots of dart and soil .If he didn’t decide to take it, this Z432 would have been returned to the earth. He chose a set of replica “ Nissan works rally wheel “ . Looks great in his car . Kats Kats, Does Mr. Uekubo have a website which shows the restoration process?

Kats Hi Kats, Just this week I received a box set of 'Fairlady Z Story & History' Vols 1 & 2, kindly sent to me by editor Morita san as a gift. He said the photo printing production in the new edition was improved (maybe colour contrast is better?) and indeed it is beautifully produced. I was proud to have made a small contribution for the section which covered the race & rally cars. There are many never-seen-before photos in there. Recommended! 4 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/23900-datsun-240z-vs-fairlady-z432/?page=141#findComment-635399 Share on other sites More sharing options...
