Hi Kats,

 

On the first page there are two interesting photos that you posted. Can you share more about the cars and activities?

The coloured photo seems to show a 510 with a RHD and LHD S30. The LHD seems to have unusual mirrors?  Typical LHD rear view mirror on door and two fender/wing mirrors. Do you know when and where the photo was taken and why the extra mirrors?

FYI: Here is another early LHD running in Japan in ~1969 but w/o the extra mirrors?

What are the LHD race start tests for and when were they done? (One has hub caps, spoiler and antenna, the other is less endowed).

Thanks and best wishes in 2017!

Blue, you inspired me , still a lot of home works need to be done but I did this today, Test drive in north america on you tube.

Much much better condtion than I used to show several years ago. This time the video was copied into a DVD.

Enjoy !

Today I took my 240ZG for a couple of ours to enjoy windings near my house .

At near the end of the driving , the shift lever did not want to engage , I found the clutch operating cylinder had a leak. 

I need to replace 11/16 adjustable cylinder.

Thank you moelk, this color , looked best in autumn and winter, surrounded by trees and mountains, I reallly think so. 

On the other hand, looked odd in summer beach with a surfboard !

I think it was a good decision that this color #116 maroon stayed in Japan. Would have not been pleased in California.
