Black always looks good on a Z...even more so when the body is straight like this one seems to be. IMHO...I think the silver rocker panel strip and wheels compliment each other very well. I could be wrong, but I think that rocker panel moulding was a dealer installed option back then.

My 1972's rear interior panel is held in place by the same plastic rivets that keeps the other plastic panels.

It's really nice to see a very original '65. 6 cylinder. Correct?

I spent my teenage years modifying perfectly stock Z cars and wished I left things well enough alone. As I’ve grown older (and maybe wiser), I have learned to appreciate a stock looking car. Just my humble opinion…

Hey Hawaiiankine, Nice to hear from someone back in the islands. Do you live on O'ahu? I grew up in Mililani, and left for the Air Force back in 1986. Do they still have autocrosses at the Aloha stadium parking lot on the weekends? Also, is the drag strip still open out in Ewa Beach?I use to take my 240Z out on the strip when it was open to the public for Saturday night races. Now I'm homesick for a teri beef plate and bowl of Zippy's chili. My 1972 240Z in Mililani back in 1986 Hang loose! Datsunzguy

I am so sorry to hear about your recent loss of Mira. Last April, I lost my dear bulldog, Tibbs, to kidney problems. I was so thankful back then to receive a lot of comfort from the members of this Web site community . Everyone’s kind words and genuine concern help me cope with my loss. I truly hope you receive solace in knowing that Mira has crossed the “Rainbow Bridge” to a far better place. I truly believe that when our time comes, we will be reunited again with the ones we love…human and animal alike.

Hmmm...it looks like this would be its second repair. What kind of wheel is it from? You might be able to trackdown a replacement. If you can't find a replacement, I would clean out what's in there now and apply some good epoxy putty, sand and repaint it. -OR- If you're good with sheetmetal, cut a rould piece out that would fit the inner diameter on the silver circle. Then, bond it to the plastic cap with some JB Weld, and paint.

As time goes on, I do see a greater divide between the rich and poor. I live close to 60 miles from where I work. Why so far do you ask? It’s the only place where I can afford a decent home. I see the middle class, the backbone of our workforce, funnel into the city from north and south. At the end of the day, we all begin the exodus back to our homes many miles away leaving our work behind. Every year school enrollment goes down in the city, a sure sign that the middle class with families are being driven away by the high cost of living. The only people left in the city at the end of the day, are the wealthy who can afford to live and enjoy themselves in this playground, and the poor who cannot afford to leave the city and end up waiting on the financially blessed tables in restaurant and landscaping their yards. I know this situation is not unique, which makes it all the sadder.

There's a never installed head with that same part number for sale. ***CLICK HERE*** Not much time left!!!

Hope this helps! 1. This photo is of a 1973 with 14,000 original miles for sale on ebay back in January. If you look real hard, you'll see the "OK" sticker on the passenger side quarter window. 2. This picture shows where the silver radiator coolant decal goes on the fan protector. Also, you can see the small kind of orange colored "Nihon" radiator decal right next to the top hose. This photo is of my 1973 Z taken back in 1992. 3. The engine close up is of a 1972 Z Store car taken at the MSA show back in 2002. The photo shows where the air cleaner decals are placed.

If you are still looking for seat spacers, there's a set for sale right now on ebay. **CLICK HERE***

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

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

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.
