Page 4 of the 1970 240Z Sales Brochure posted on www.zhome.com shows a photograph where one can see the black lock knob on top of the passenger door panel. 1970 240Z Sales Brochure Maybe it broke on this car and they didn't bother to fix it. -

My Z was produced on 12/71, and the single relay just above the hood latch is identified with the letters H, B, and S at the plug-in points. H = solid green wire B = green wire with a red stripe S = green wire with a black stripe

I found this photo of my 72 Z while looking through an old photo album. The picture was taken in Hawaii back around 1986. Sad to say the car went all to hell after it was sold :-( -
Les' Web site put the total at 40. I reckon that figure includes all shops that had the contract with Nissan. Click Here The Classic Datsun Z Restoration Program The Classic Datsun Z restoration project began in 1997 as an offshoot of our involvement with Nissan's Z Store project and our renown Roadster restoration service. On 10/31/98, Nissan officially ended the Z Store project after only 40 of the 250 planned cars. On a side note: I recall seeing a semi-completed dark green 1970 on ebay about a year ago. I think the high bid for it was about $7500.00, which didn't meet the reserve. Not sure what ever happend to it

An interior shot of my very first Z car back taken back 1981. It was everyone’s favorite color combination of metallic brown with a butterscotch interior. To top it off, it was an automatic! The only saving grace was the Lacarra leather steering wheel. Man, I wish I could get my hands on that steering wheel again! -
Photo taken around 1992 at Lowry Air Force Base, Colorado. -
Z Car Club of Colorado roadtrip circa 1992. My Z (1973) is the green one. -
My first 1972 back around 1983. Porsche Indian Red with Goodyear Wingfoot tires and Epsilon modular wheels. I had to sell her when I went into the military in 1986. -
Back in 1991, I converted my 73 from flats to rounds and was able to use my stock air cleaner. Motorsport Auto use to sell an adapter kit. From what I remember it consisted mainly of a plate with shallow flat screws that attached to each SU allowing you to screw on the stock air cleaner. I did a quick scan of their catalog and couldn’t find it. Maybe a call or email to inquire if they still carry the adapter might be worth it.

I see them up for auction all the time on eBay. In fact, I saw a set with a "Buy it Now" price of around $50.00 this past weekend. Not sure if you'll be able to get someone to break up a set though.

What a nice pair of 10th anniversary 280ZXs up for auction! I haven’t seen a set of those Goodyear Wingfoot (precursor to the Goodyear Eagle line) tires since mine wore out back in the 1980’s. CLICK HERE Oh do I wish I had more $$$ and garage space :classic:

I am debating on switching my current stock E88 intake manifold and balance tube with an E46 manifold and E41 tube on my bone stock 72. I have to admit part of me would like to get rid of the air pump and the rest of the associated plumbing and replace it with the cleaner setup that would include a set of headers. Has anyone here made a switch like the one I’m contemplating and regretted it?
-
My heart and prayers go out to you.

I picked up this manifold and balance tube the other day. I’m in the process of polishing it and having the hardware re-plated. I like the clean look of it, but not sure if I’m going to take the plunge and install it on my 72. Anyhow. it's a good little side project :-) -
My front and rear bumpers came back from getting replated. I applied POR 15 clear to the back. Will see how well it holds up in 20 years :-) -
Sorry for the mistake on the first engine photo. This was the one I meant to post. -
All those items mentioned seem not to be on this vehicle. My bet is the car is actually a late '71. It would have been nice if the seller included the VIN number or at least a picutre of the data plate in the ad

Stunning! Great work!!! -
Actually, I live in California. Dad’s last assignment was Tripler hospital, and he decided to retire on Oahu. Being a military brat, and living in Hawaii for 18 years, you get around on that tiny island. Sometimes it scares me that I can remember details like what base housing on Hickam AFB looks like...but I can’t find my car keys! :stupid:

Hey Robbz, I saw your Z pictures in the gallery. Nice to see a car from Hawaii!The car looks like it's parked in base housing at Hickam. Am I even close?:cheeky:
