PS: I checked the springs. The dimensions and the tags with the spring rates do not match with NISMO, so I guess they're from a 3rd party. But the dampers are definitely a nice freebie :-)

Due to some stars aligning, I was able to collect loads of documents for my Datsun project from various sources. Some of those documents are quite rare and some which I've been trying to find for several years now.

With this delivery I've been able to close a few big gaps in my archive, and this will definitely help me to write more complete knowledge posts in the future. Let's quickly go through what I got in the recent weeks:
First, I was able to obtain a 1973 Press release folder from the Geneva Auto show, where also the 240Z was shown. So far, I only had the French version, but now, finally a German version, which came with this really cool cover page:

I also got some missing Swiss price lists for my collection (free download of all of them here) and the "World of Datsun" brochure.

I have quite a collection of this "World of Datsun" styled advertising material, but i've never seen this one before. So it's cool to have it :-)

I got a few Datsun USA Service gauges / guides, which i think are quite cool:

It also came with this "Datsun Saves" Gas per mileage saver calculator-gauge. Which goes nicely with the original can and Ad:

I Also got an original Mikuni USA PHH Service manual


And a Box for spare needles and Jets (empty):

Found another full set of sports option catalogues. I didn't really plan on buying them, but I was the only bidder, so I got them for a good price.

The seller also had some other ones for sale, which had an even better price. So I couldn't resist:

Speaking of Sports options: I also got a bunch of Datsun / Nissan Motorsports / Competition parts catalogues from the USA:

And a few very early ones. The one at the bottom is from 1974 and came including a price list:

In regard to catalogues: I also got a bunch of Japanese market parts catalogues. Left the folder version and on the right the book version.

I've never seen one with the "Nissan" marked protective plastic sleeve still on it. Very cool.

I also came across an export market RHD (R-drive) Parts manual book for the 240Z / 260Z. So far, I only had the folder versions.

Speaking of folders. I was very lucky to find these Datsun / Nissan Service journal binders Vol.3, Vol 3. and the empty one on the right side:


Those folders on the left include loose early service bulletins of various cars and general information, but also the green Service bulletin booklets.

This makes my collection of 240Z Related bulletins almost complete. There are still a few missing, unfortunately:

I got also a later book version with the Technical bulletins in a book, and the Japanese Z-7, which is basically the same as the green ones, just for the Japanese market.

Now I think only the Z-5 is missing in my collection (And some later ones, which I don't really care about):

Also got these. The left is from a different car, but the right is a similar Service bullet in new design. I know this one was also available as a green booklet.

Also got some S30 related service manuals, that were still missing in my collection:

On the left you see the BW35 Borg Warner Service manual for different cars. And on the right side a Datsun USA Engine analysis book:

Then got a bit of random items. From top left to bottom right:
- A ZX Documents pouch (Came with some other stuff)
- Datsun USA Parts Name numerical number index
- 1972 Warranty and Service booklet
- Tokyo Motor Show 1969 original admission ticket (Where the S30 was shown to the public the first time)
- A service Technician record booklet
- Hayashi racing brochure


The Datsun Service technician was kind of cool:


It was issued in September 1972 to this technician and has several certificates and stamps of completed trainings inside:


And last but not least some random magazines. Like the Car Graphic one on the left.


It was issued when the RZ34 prototype was shown and has a nice story about former racing driver and Central 20 owner inside. 

I still have some small items which haven't arrived here, and will do a proper archive overview once everything is here, since some followers requested this.
And I also have some update on the actual car project.
