Aye caramba. Any known fitment issues with the muffler?

I'll third the MSA 6-1 ceramic coated headed, they really did a nice job with it. I'm looking into buying a muffler from Sean. His whole system looks really nice. https://www.datsun-zstory.com/

I got a set of MTI TE37 knockoff wheels but they wont fit over the hub/spline in the front. I tried measuring and it looks like it's about 60MM on the wheels I have on the car now, does anyone know for sure what the measurement is?

Thank you for posting, looks like I'll probably go with vintage not vintage and correct.

Anyone know what the early Z rally cars were using for the timekeeping, distance measuring when they ran the Africa rallys? I see a lot of TAG Heuer kits in Porsches, was curious if Seiko made something for Datsun or Toyota.

The Carter and the Holley are noisy, not sure about any other types. The great thing about electric is it works when your battery does, or doesn't. It's easy to diagnose when the lights come on but you don't hear the buzzing in the back. I've seen them mounted in the engine bay too, some of the noise is masked by the engine when its running.

I had a similar problem in Yellowstone with downdraft Webers, summer, 6500 ft elevation. Put a Carter electronic fuel pump to replace the old one which I determined wasn't working and it solved the problem.

Am I the only one waiting for Alan's book to be published to correct the many mistakes made by other authors about Z history, models etc? It's kinda fun in the cheap seats and the peanut gallery but it's still the peanut gallery and the cheap seats. I'm serious, i would pay good money for a book you would author Alan, if you would.

Not quite the amount of parts commonality with my 240 that I was hoping for but I'm glad they're making one.

There's the national Z Convention in Nashville in September you may want to consider going to Z or not http://zcon.org/conventions/2020/ Then there's the Georgia Z club https://www.facebook.com/groups/325899774212973/

Anyone going? I signed up for Cars and Coffee, they posted they were going to have a corral for Zs celebrating the 50th anniversary.

Here is the only other source I am familiar with that does leather interior pieces for S30 Zs. https://interior-innovations.com/product-category/datsun-240z260z280z/ I've ordered a parking brake cover and a shifter boot from them and have been impressed with what they've done. I like the idea of distressed leather seat covers with vent holes in them, good thick leather to take the wear. One thing I have seen advertised anywhere is a leather headliner or leather sunvisor covers.

240, 260, 280Z leather keychains, leather door pull straps, leather cover for the parking brake, leather cellphone cover, I'm interested in all of this, some of it distressed for the car etc.

Copy that, I'll make my own.

I'm looking for a leather fuel flap, thought I saw one with one of the vendors but can't find it. Looking to buy one if one is available before I try my hand at making my own.
