Gav, I think they would be late S30's ( post '73 ) or S31's - so they'd be fitted with the later style dash from the Factory. They would look just like the '260Z' dash that the RS30 and RLS30 models got. If you spot a ZG-lookalike with the later dash then its certain proof that its not a 'real' ZG ( unless of course its had a later dash retro-fitted for some unknown reason.......:cross-eye:) It can be hard to pin down the age of some of the later Japanese S30 and S31 models, especially when they have been modified.

TC24-B1 with twin turbos
This car does not exist any more. The photo was taken back in the early 1980's. I don't recall any of the dyno figures for it, but I seem to remember it was up around the 600PS mark. I also recall that it did not last all that long before being pulled and re-engineered - as it was a true Saturday Night Special and very much a mobile test-bed.

Trex, Wasn't your car originally a UK-market model? UK-model HS30 production went well into 1974 I think. Don't know which Japanese site you got the info from ( CLUB S30 or S30 Owners Club? ) but I think there is a possibility that you might have misunderstood what the figures related to. Don't forget that the Japanese domestic HS30 model was discontinued earlier than the UK / Australian models, and they dropped the "H" prefix when they went back to 2 litre engines at the end of 1973. The last of the UK-model HS30's were well-known for being a bit strange with regard to spec. They featured lots of parts that were later used on the RS30 models ( different inner wings, the thicker suspension legs etc etc ) - so its clear there was a bit of a grey area for a month or two when the model types changed over. I'm sure the Australian models must have been subject to the same conditions, and in reality its probably the case that all of the RHD models got a bit mixed up around this time. Contrast this with the LHD car situation, which was always a lot more clear cut, easy to understand and well documented.. Alan T.

73 Safari car engine bay
HS30-H commented on HS30-H's comment on a gallery image in 03 (EXCLUSIVE) Nissan Japan Warehouse TourI don't think anyone took the thermostat housing as a keepsake ( it would be a strange choice ). Much more likely that it was removed when the water was drained out, as they are notorious for getting stuck and for reactions between the steel studs and the alloy housing. The Safari heads also featured significantly different water passaging for improved cooling. The caps over the strut tops were seen on many of the Works rally cars and in many cases the were taped down. They would have stopped debris from falling into the strut top and possibly causing problems with the top mount and bearing. They also conveniently hid the extra mount holes that the Factory drilled in order to get a bit of camber adjustment......

HS30-H commented on HS30-H's comment on a gallery image in 03 (EXCLUSIVE) Nissan Japan Warehouse TourAh, now I understand. In fact the 'correct' lense colour for the front winkers was amber - just like these. What fools a lot of people is that some Japanese owners fit the clear ones just to be different. The correct Japanese spec. was the amber colour. This car is owned by Mr S. Morimoto of Club S30, and he does have the original magnesium wheels for the car. However, they have a reputation for being a bit fragile ( magnesium gets structurally suspect as it gets older ) so he uses the Watanabes most of the time.

HS30-H commented on HS30-H's comment on a gallery image in 03 (EXCLUSIVE) Nissan Japan Warehouse TourIt IS the real thing, Gav. Don't know what you mean about the side indicators, as this car is 100% correct in that respect for the year and model.
