Buyer beware, anytime a seller claims it is a factory correct restoration it makes you wonder which factory! Looking at a lot of the details on the S30 cars they have in their museum they are far from factory correct, nice and shiny but Nissan never built them to this level. Also quite a few important details on the early cars are different to how they were built. I'm no expert but if I can spot the difference how can the so called experts involved advising S30 have missed them?

Wow, this is pretty cool and it's not April 1st. This should be a fun auction to watch. A note on the blue car that appears to be a pre 21000 car. The map light is hooded which is the same as my early car and also @Johnz1971 car that we discussed here. 1970 Wiring Diagram - Page 9 - Electrical - Classic Zcar Community

This has been discussed on other forums, and my personal take is that there can be no such thing as a 'replacement bodyshell' for these cars. Replacing the bodyshell is replacing the car. There's no continuity. It would make a whole new thing.

Hopefully it fit's better than the doors I got from resurrected classics but I would be super dubious if all the attachment points are in the correct position. On the doors I got the manufacturer was relying on the stamped dimples to drill and then weld the nuts on. There was no way a drilling/welding jig was used because of the variances from door to door. It seems overseas countries have figured out cheap stamping but not cheap assembly.

Today, the first official announcement of the S30.world 'The Masterpieces Collection' sales, to begin on 23rd October: S30.worldS30.world - The Masterpieces programThe Masterpieces program Garage 44 of Annville, Pennsylvania will be coordinating sales in the USA.

Wow, great story. Keep us in your loop One thing I noticed in particular - the dash. No cracks. Aftermarket replacement?

It's a remarkable bit of production. Kudo's to Nissan Canada for financing the project, and to the Canadian ad agency for designing and realizing a killer advert that properly and expertly recognizes the significance of the Z's role in creating Nissan's worldwide market presence (notwithstanding Nissan's Japan's efforts throughout the 1970's and 1980's to throw it all away). Additional kudos to Nissan Canada for providing its corporate facilities in Mississauga, Ontario as the venue for the annual show-and-shine meeting hosted b y the Ontario Z-Car Association (look it up). I'm really proud of Canada's (continuing) role in supporting the Z legacy. Here on CZCC, I would draw your attention to the importance of our Canadian members in making this site such a valuable Z resource. Those who come immediately to mind are 240/260/280Z (who's written a complete library of Z rebuild articles), along with Grannyknot, CanTechZ, Wheee and zKars (some of the best restoration build contributors that this site has enjoyed). I should also mention that, for years (dating back to 1994), Charlie Osborne at Zedd Findings in Kingston, Ontario, was (I believe) the only source worldwide for decent replacement Z floor panels and front frame rails.

Car is running a little bit better now with the MSD Blaster 2 coil maybe its masking the problem only. Still testing the car. I did noticed the mechanic adjusted the carbs as follows: 4 turns down each carb, 7 at idle screw for front carburetor and 10 at idle screw for rear carburetor. The fast idle screw when raised to 2500 rpm gave different measures on front and rear carburetors.

Just email them, filled up the form and send them pictures of my original brake booster. Hope to get a response from them so i can ship it from Panama to the US.

Thanks for the background information Namerow. I happened into the TV room (watch very little myself) when this ad came on and my wife asked "isn't that your car?", that being the 240. And thanks for the link Cheers, Richard

I wonder if it’s within factory specs.

@One4One I may have something, but I agree with Jim, make a wanted post. There are a few different harnesses for the 73.

The ad was produced for Nissan Canada to celebrate the 60th anniversary of their entry into the Canadian automotive market. Stunt driving was performed by Kiwi rallycross driver Rhys Millen (son of Rod, nephew of Steve), using the airport at Lillooet, British Columbia for an action shot that was then blended into the primary road footage (shot on a nearby highway). There's a short feature on the video shoot available on Facebook... https://www.facebook.com/nissancanada/videos/781763657583093/ The actual video can be found on the landing page of Nissan Canada's consumer website... www.nissan.ca (scroll down on the landing page to find the video). I don't think it's available on YouTube yet. Nissan Canada's corporate media website has some nice feature articles and photos built around the 60th anniversary celebration... Official Canada NewsroomNissan Celebrates 60 Years of Innovation and Excellence i...Nissan Canada Inc. is proud to celebrate its 60th anniversary, marking six decades of innovation, growth, and commitment to the Canadian market.

Fascinating. I wonder if it's real.

I do not have the harness you are looking for. You would be better served by creating a item-specific Want to Buy advert in the Electrical forum, you will get far better exposure to your specific need. Also, it is strongly recommended that you NOT include contact info in your posts. There are bots that will sweep up this info and use it for malicious purposes. I suggest you edit your post to remove the phone number. Good luck with your search and your project.

If someone has the link i would appriciate it very much!

I see that you have had a lot of 1973 240Z parts for sale that you have removed from a parts donor car and refurbished. I'm looking for a 1973 240Z engine wiring harness complete because we had a battery tip over and arc out melting the wires in the engine bay harness and in the dash harness. We have already obtained and installed a dash harness but still need the engine bay harness with the proper connectors to the interior/dash harness. Thank you.

Came across this via youtube. https://www.carbody.com/product/240z-parts/replacement-complete-car-body-assembly-for-nissan-datsun-240z-260z.html

How much are you asking for the parts car, and/or is it still available to bring a trailer and load it up? My name is TJ and I live in Washington state.

While I do have the special tool to open the booster, I also used Powerbrakeexchange. I live in WA and just dropped it off there. Traded in some of my cores for a discount as well. Call and ask then if he still has my cores, he can rebuild that and would likely just charge more for you not sending in a core. If that works for you.

I had thought about putting the engine and tranny back in. Then the remainder of the parts would probably fit in the car and it would haul easily on a trailer.

The link works. Not obvious how to get in to the pictures though. Clcik on the Google Drive link, a new page will open > double click on a folder name > double click on the first picture > then you can scroll through all of the pictures in the folder using the arrows on the sides. It's pretty well deconstructed. A box truck would probably be best for transport, or a trailer with room for parts.

Did the link for about 100 pics not come through in the post? I included pics of about everything and they are organized by category. I'll add more history. Thanks!
