What 75 car? From What Dealer?

Morning Carl,

Yes the gt33 car I recently purchased…..Looking at the others to see what parts were installed if they were sold with “upgraded” 5 speed/3.9 LSD option…

This exactly information I was searching for last month..... Thank you Kats for both this chart and detailed pictures of the early/late driveshafts.... Still trying to figure out how a 75 car wound up from the dealer with an early a/monkey motion trans and short 2 piece drive shaft.

Hi dspillman , did you measure your prop shaft? If it’s a 520mm (E4100) type, the spline is exposed approximately 10mm. Like Carl told us, it was due to misinformation made by Datsun(or Nissan Japan). After September 1971, a 555mm (E8700) type was applied to the FS5C71A&71B so, your gt33 car should have above and you won’t see the spline exposed.

Hi! A photo book featuring my Z432 will be on sale soon, a lot of pictures taken by a photographer Mr. Yatsui Isao. https://mm-style.jp/smartphone/detail.html?id=000000005300

He did the same back in 2015 when my Z432 was a top cover of Nostalgic Hero.

Enjoy!

Pretty car Kats!

Thank you Patcon! Have you completed the restoration of your 240Z? Looking forward to seeing you and your car in the future.

Hey thanks, Kats! I just ordered the book. Will be a pleasure to add it to my library.

No Kats, unfortunately I haven't. It does run though. I still have a lot to do on the interior and some tuning, but I'm getting there. Progress should get better when it warms up a little

Hi Chris, I am glad that you ordered it!

How are your cars doing? Still working on or completed? Looking forward to hearing from you!

Kats

The book arrived! 128 pages of detailed pictures!

I think it’s a good source to discuss what is original or not original about my January 1970 Z432.

Kats,

The book finally arrived! Delivered on a Sunday afternoon in a well packaged protective box. What a lovely book. You must be very proud. Great pictures. Very nice editing. The quality is superb.

Chris

I want to order this book as well - did you all use the "world shopping" window/link that popped up? (My Japanese is non-existent)

Yes. You should be able to find a translate button for 'world shopping' and order through the site. World shopping will send you a series of e-mails to confirm ordering and shipping. There will be a second payment for tariffs before it is shipped. As I recall, the tariff was about as much as the book itself. Be patient. It will arrive. The book is well worth it.
