HS30-H Posted May 25, 2017 Share #2 Posted May 25, 2017 "Yusuke Toshimori" = Yasunori TOSHIMORI "Tsujimoto Seiichiro" = Seiichiro TSUJIMOTO "Masahiro Hasegi" = Masahiro HASEMI "Yoshikazu Sunagi" = Yoshikazu SUNAKO "Kitano Yu" = Moto KITANO "Kenji Tsubairi" = Kenji TOHIRA Family names are in capitals, and in the Western format of given name first, family name second (whereas Japanese format is family name first, given name second). The "240Z' is actually a Works (Nissan Racing School) 432-R in drag.

HS30-H Posted May 26, 2017 Share #5 Posted May 26, 2017 Correct the spelling for Yasunori TOSHIMORI and it will be correct, I believe. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/57801-nissan-drivers-circa-1970/#findComment-521768 Share on other sites More sharing options...
240260280 Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share #6 Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) Thanks again Alan! I am guessing it was taken near the end of the first S30 racing season in Q4 of 1970. Would you have any insight? Here is the 2nd Revision. I can add more annotations or make corrections in the future if needed.

I'd say more like 1971, if not even early 1972. Most of those drivers were assembled for a similar shoot with the photos published in 'Auto Sport Young' (a special edition of Auto Sport magazine) in early March 1971, and the difference in hairstyle/length is noticeable. They were pretty much all following a trend for longer hair at the time and I reckon your photo was taken later than that shoot. 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/57801-nissan-drivers-circa-1970/#findComment-521775 Share on other sites More sharing options...
240260280 Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share #8 Posted May 26, 2017 Sounds logical. If we could see the nose on that car it may help define "post Gnose era".
