here's a trick my PO taught me: throw a bag of real toasted oats cereal and years from now pieces will fall on your feet as you drive. seriously though, you'll want to protect from critters and insects (not sure how sealed up your garage is) that can nest in, munch on and hoard inside air intakes. clean it very well, give her a coat of wax, spray WD40 on a rag and give anything that might corrode (exposed polished alloy) a light wipe. make sure it is dry, dry, dry (carpet backing holds water forever) get a car cover and keep the windows down a few inches under the cover - that will allow some air circulation so you don't get mildew inside. oh, and if you do the charcoal trick, ya might want to stay away from the "match light" variety

Yesterday went out for a bit of a cruise. Got a ticket from a Sheriff's deputy on a motorcycle with forward look radar for 13 over. He knocked it down to 5 over and 1 point. I was totally guilty. I've owned the Zed for 10 years. I have done some serious hooning about in it. I paid the $98 fine...that averages out to $9.80/ year. Cheap for all the fun I've had. Ironically the last speeding ticket I got was in 1975 in my '73 Zed for 30 over. When I think about all the times I could have been busted I just smile. Cheers, Mike

I shot it straight from the can. To date, this paint is the only stuff I've ever sprayed, so I have no basis of comparison, but it seems to go on fine without thinning. I'm using the Harbor Freight HVLP gun and the tip it comes with (1.4mm, I think). I'm being patient and letting everything bake in the sun until late in the week before I try reassembling everything, but so far -- fingers crossed! -- I think I had better results with it than I did on the fuel tank. Just guessing here, but I think letting the primer cure for 4 days might have helped.

I read that Mr Tamura passed away last month. R.I.P. Kumeo Tamura 1944.2.28 - 2015.4.16 Thank you for your excellent work on the S30.

Mr.Tamura did so hard on finalizing S30's body surface, he told me he still has feelings in his hand every surface of her(S30),in his word,he had spent very hot and hard time with her every day and night. Every time he touched her, she told him that places where she wanted to be more beautiful! Mr.Tamura said it is like an old craftsman of Buddha statue,he did not creat it, Buddha itself... Does anything more need to be said?

Thank you cbudvet,Mr.Tamura will be very pleased for your word. Hi esprist! I will be L.A. next month:) thank you for watching. Chris,I have got these images and letters from Mr.Tamura.Fellow my Japanese club member happened to see him in a car wash stand last year, Mr.Tamura walked towad fellow's S30,then introduced himself as a finalist of S30 body styling. Mr.Tamura joined our club,and he described very details and even he showed drawings by his hand.He sent us a few letters,and he has been keeping us update information from his memory. I would like to know who is the hero (most valuable person) in S30's styling for the people? It could be a man who showed the concept of the car? or a man who sketched S30's body style first? or executives who said "GO this project" in the conference? or members who involved S30's styling? Most of us say Mr.Matsuo , because he is the chief designer of S30. "Type A" cray model is the begining of the styling study,that was a open car(roadster). Mr.Matsuo began to study from SP/SR311 seeking a new sports car in 1965. Type A has suger scoop head lights. Some of us who have red books really carefully may say Mr.Yoshida because he did great job with Mr.Matsuo from the begining.He did Type C which has pop up head lights and nice roof and side and rear section, you will be surprised how this Type C is so cool! To say to make it vaery short, S30's styling is oriented by mixing of Type A front section and Type C side and rear section.This was in early 1967. I think Mr.Matsuo is the chief,but also he is the manager of the project. Mr.Matsuo had the contorl of the new sports car project(I mean within his own territory) also had to do manythings you know,such as negotiation with his boss,other sections,arrangement for presentation for executive,desk work,etc. Mr.Matsuo had not been able to have enough time to touch the clay models like the early stage gradually toward when S30's styling was almost settled down, in early 1967. Those time was corresponding to Mr.Tamura joined the team.Mr.Tamura did so hard on finalizing S30's body surface, he told me he still has feelings in his hand every surface of her(S30),in his word,he had spent very hot and hard time with her every day and night. Every time he touched her, she told him that places where she wanted to be more beautiful! Mr.Tamura said it is like an old craftsman of Buddha statue,he did not creat it, Buddha itself... Mr.Tamura involved nearly one year for finalizing S30 styling.His boss Mr.Matsuo checked Mr.Tamura's work time to time,Mr.Tamura told me he had never got "NO" nor "do it again,make it more nicer" words from Mr.Matsuo. His work was always perfect,I can see it.And everybody agree it. kats PS:I think here in this club,nobody will say Mr.Albrecht Goertz is the hero. He did not touch/mention/teach anything about S30's styling.He was a consultant and visited Nissan for 2 weeks every 3 months mid 1963 to 1965. No-way to be involved with S30 body styling. Many of old Nissan designers are saying Mr.Goertz only brought a styling method of clay model,that is all.Nothing more than that.
