Late afternoon drive on a country road.

You might have some success posting your question on the Ontario Z Car Club forum https://forum.ontariozcar.com/

Typical? I'm amazed how you can reach into someone's mind a read their most inner thoughts. My comment was not predicated on the accuracy of the document itself, but simply how an offer to the Z community from a long time member was treated. It is apparent that tact is not your strong suit. Mike has built a business and spent much time and effort creating reproduction parts to keep our Z cars on the road. The fruits of his labor are actually tangible, and are not just S30 esoteric factoids meant to bloviate.

The internet is why we cannot have nice things 🙄

Looks to be a custom creation. My first though is to look for a upholstery shop in the Latino part of your town.

Yes, indeed. https://www.mecum.com/lots/1128317/1969-porsche-917k/ Interesting pedigree of ownership

I have my fingers crossed 🤞 By the way... Here's a link if you ever need to replace your choke cables. I did mine several years ago and it made a big difference on how smoothly it operated. https://woodworkerb.com/home/datsun-240z-rebuild/repair-choke-cable/

Welcome back from a member of the Class of 2002! I miss the old days of Enrique S., Bambikiller 240 and others that have left us over the years.

You need to remove the console to access the screws. Once you do this, it will all make sense.

The choke light is controlled by a simple button switch held in place by two small screws on the choke lever assembly. The light comes on when the choke lever is lifted and the small spring-activated button is allowed to pop out. My guess is that the switch is loose and the small screws need tightening. You also may want to tighten the nut on the choke level to ensure it keeps the button held down. Hopefully nothing is broken inside because a NOS replacement is pricey. https://jdm-car-parts.com/products/datsun-240z-series-2-choke-lever-switch-nos

The one on the right looks to be a Harada Model HA-100, which is a replacement antenna for the S30. The HA-100 typically had a cylindrical versus pointy tip.

Yup. I created a post on August 17th. After the auction, I was ready to contact the BAT police to report an incident of grand theft auto!!! Frankly, I was a bit surprised the seller agreed to the lowball reserve BAT offered up to place this car on the auction block. The buyer got the deal of the year snagging a blue chip example for less than half it would cost to embark on a 240Z restoration of this caliber today.

I have a love/hate relationship with those splash pans 😫 Too many episodes of dropping a screw or washer, hearing it hit the pan and then vanishing into oblivion.
