What came with my Z

Featured Replies

I finally pulled all of the stuff out of the boxes, to catalog what cam with my Z when I bought her last October.

Form top left to bottom right, and not pictured:

- K&N Air filters (not pictured: two Weber carbs and cannon runners)

- Original DATSUN windbreaker (supposedly came with the car when purchased)

- 4 original "D" hub caps in excellent shape

- Around 8 misc. Datsun and 240Z emblems

- 2 wood carb spacers??

- 8 Nippon Denso spark plugs

- 2 Datsun resistors

- Aftermarket fuel pressure gauge

- Lazorlite distributor cap

- FRAM oil filter

- Original mirror

- Checker oil filter

- Ignition kit

- Lots 'o hoses

- Original Hitachi radio

- Head gaskets

- Aluminum polish

-(not pictured: extra clutch, extra used distributor)

Not a lot of stuff, but it's always nice to have extras

Some pretty cool surprises you have aquired, especially the wind breaker. One think about the carb spacers, I believe they are fabricated from phenolic not wood! All I can say is, owning these old Z cars is just so cool. I've owned my 240 for 25 years and the longer I own it the better I like it!

I have (had) the same windbreaker. I had mine in the attic for some time and when I retrieved it it began to fall apart. It is very thin and the jacket just dried up. I did remove Datsun patches though....

My jacket came with the car when new as well. Was this car purchased at Downtown Datsun (Seattle)? Anyway nice collection of parts. The additional parts are always good to get with the car....

For anyone who's wondering what the windbreaker looks like, here's a picture:

Mine is much too small for me, it would fit someone about 5'5-5'7 great (I'm 6'3).

From my Datsun dealer directory:

Downtown Seattle Datsun

1124 Pike Street

Seattle, Washington 98101

(206) 622-2791

This is the same jacket I had. I also had one that was all blue with the red and white stripe down the sleave and collar if I remember right....

I wished I still had mine....

I also had one of those jackets back in the day. In fact I had two. One when I bought the 70 and one when I bought the 72. Both long gone, cars and jackets:(

From my Datsun dealer directory:

Downtown Seattle Datsun

1124 Pike Street

Seattle, Washington 98101

(206) 622-2791

Exactly. That's where my car was purchased in 1972. Long since gone (the dealer that is, the car is still here)....

No pic but I have a black Style Auto jacket with an interesting "Datsun Z" patch on it. Pretty cool. I'll wear it to the West Coast Nationals in April. :smoke:

You can clearly see it says "Down Town DATSUN" and made in Japan.

Were these made specifically for the Seattle dealership?

That would be cool, as I don't know where my Z was originally sold, I thought it was California. But Seattle is only an hour away.

I'm not sure if it is dealer specific, but I do know I had the same jacket that came with the car from Downtown Datsun. That would be pretty cool....

There was a Downtown Datsun mechanic that was pretty heavy in the racing scene. He helped the PO (family friend) build the car for the stock box racing class back in the day. Those were fun times. That was a great dealership. I miss it….
