Just went through and updated the links on this thread. They should all be working again.

Jeff and I have worked out a deal for club members. If you're looking for one of these for your wall, just refer to the following discount code for 20% off: ZCARS20

Congrats on the new (almost) arrival! From what I can tell, the VIN #HLS30-007184 looks to be a series 1 car. But, notes on the VIN search shows that some cars even down to 03xxx were titled as 1971's as well. http://zhome.com/History/DesignChanges.htm

Looks like it just broke 6 figures..

Oh, I also wanted to mention the front speed bleeders did not come with a metric size for the outer nut. I had to switch to a 7/16 wrench for adjustments. The rears took the traditional 10mm wrench.

I finally got my speed bleeders and installed both fronts and rears. After bleeding the brakes, I couldn't imagine doing this again without the speed bleeder. This little upgrade makes it SO MUCH EASIER to bleed your brakes on your own. I also suggest buying a small plastic container that you can install on each brake when you're bleeding it. From there you simply need to loosen the speed bleeder and start pumping your brakes. Keeping an eye on the fluid in the master cylinder, keep pumping until the old fluid (and bubbles) are worked out of the system. Simple and no mess. Here's a pic of the Motive Products 1810 Bottle I purchased to capture the old fluid during the bleeding process. https://www.amazon.com/Motive-Products-1810-Bottle/dp/B008C8O026/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=brake+bleeding+motive&qid=1559495213&s=gateway&sr=8-7

Can't believe junk yards like this exist.. it just amazes me. But you can find some awesome parts.. ?

Wow, that is one beautiful Z car.. ❤️

Could be a bad relay. If you can grab a new one at a cheap price, I'd swap it out.

Nice kit. Please keep us posted on the progress. What did they provide for a brake proportioning valve?

Thanks for letting me know. I moved it to the Electrical forum.

Hey @LeonV, I like their appearance and tread pattern. I haven't driven them yet due to brake issues (leaky hydraulic switch), but, will let you know once I'm able to street test.

I still wonder though, if it's not NOS how does this guy expect to sell it at such a high price?

Ok this is getting way off topic, but, yes I agree. The slang "lost in translation" comes to mind...

Yes, that was my bad.. It's really hard to understand his English translation.

I have been re-reading the description, but, yet to fully understand if this is a true NOS or a restoration.. Price suggests it's a NOS item, but, I'm still on the fence.. From what I can make of the English, it may have been something he bought new 41 years ago, and kept on the car until he sold it 2 years ago. See his quote here:

Oh my, take a look at this one. It appears to be a Datsun steering wheel intended for "Western" production of the Z (USA model). The translation is a bit confusing, it says something about the wheel only being used for 10 hours? Not really sure what to think about it, but, the wheel looks pristine. Asking price appears to be $4,200 USD... not for the faint of heart. To top it off, I think you'll have to fly to Japan to pick it up in person. How many rich guys do we have on this site? ? https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/s651979706?conversionType=search_suggest Here's the translation: Photography after March 20, 2019 I received your visit, Thank you very much. ● After the new purchase of S30-based final model, because of the early retrofit, use time about 10 hours, because it was good indoor storage-preserved environment, Miraculously, It Has Maintained The Freshness Of Remains Of Those Days. ● Do Not Taste In The Recycled Product, The Remains Of The Time, And Smooth Texture, You Can Taste The Shiny Deep, Such As Tortoiseshell. ● Because It Is DATSUN Mark, Also recommend as an interior. ● We recommend for those of genuine. ● In a real and recycled products, I think that calm when sitting in the cockpit is different.

It Is The Original Owner Of The Comment One Owner Goods Of Goods. [Genuine About The Wooden Steering] Before From Now About 41 Years, After A Few Months To Buy The Final Model Of The S30 System Fairlady Z (The Fairlady ZT 2 / 2 GS 31) in the new car, "Nissan genuine sports corner steering" (← at that time the item name, current, because the reprint was retrofit to Nissan Datsun has been referred to the competition handle), this product is, removed, had the indoor storage. At one point, the remains of the "Nissan genuine sports corner steering" because there was a time when not pass through the inspection, it was used several times for the inspection.

Owned the car 41 years ago, but was let go two years ago, remembered that there remains a genuine handle, I tried to take out, either, because I thought I thought I would decorate the room, was a little living room of the results, the temperatures When I have to calculate the time of use of this product, it is just 10 hours before and after. There Was A Since Difference Achievements, Of 41 Years Ago, Had Kept The Beauty That Did Not Change At All . a few years era that does not pass the inspection if no marked trumpet to the horn button, because the horn button of the Z mark had been used by being mounted to the "Nissan genuine sports corner steering", as it is a car I let go with. As a result, "it had been installed in the Nissan genuine sports corner steering, horn button of DATSUN mark," "Z genuine wooden steering wheel," and now that I am allowed to exhibit a combination that.

Other Day The, To Be The Same Products That The Exhibition Of The Others, Because I Found The Same Flaw, Was Convinced.
