Doing a little more messing around... the big kanji says pride, performance, protect. The small ones to the right say old (classic), car, group (club). Kanji is a bit tricky to find the same kind of words with similar meaning..

When I was in Japan a few weeks ago, I visited many temples and shrines with the family. Not only are these places beautiful and historic, they have a wonderful art called Goshuin. The Goshuin is available to anyone with the proper book and willingness to spend the time to wait for a monk or temple representative to create. Each temple/shrine has their own Goshuin design and the intent is to prove that you've paid a visit. The artwork is a combination of a red stamp and handwritten calligraphy. You can read more about Goshuin here: https://livejapan.com/en/in-tokyo/in-pref-tokyo/in-tokyo_train_station/article-a0002402/ Anyway, the reason for my post isn't to inform you about Goshuin, but, I wanted to share some Z car logo's inspired by Goshuin. I had some fun today making a digital version of our logo with the Kanji symbols Pride, Performance, Protect (they didn't seem to have preservation). I'll be looking more into calligraphy in the future because it was very inspiring. Here's my first crack at a digital version using filters and Kanji symbols I found on the Internet.

No problem, thanks for starting a new thread. I'll clean this one up a bit..

I wasn't going to suggest he was lying.. The reason for my comment was to express how frustrating it would be to find these cracks. Especially after a big restoration..

Looks like he signed up in April. We have a lot less spam bots these days due to the sign up conditions, but, there are a few that squeak through. Typically bots sign up with a different set of parameters than this account, so, I'll leave it to the face he's busy and cannot respond right now. @davis23, we have responded to your post. Can you log in and take a look? Thanks bud.. Mike

Just trying to figure out your comment... So, he restored the car and it had no cracks? After leaving it outside one day in the hot sun, he came out to see the new ones from that day?

Good buy! I think you officially stole it. If you clean it up and relist it on BAT, you could likely see $20k+ https://bringatrailer.com/datsun/240z/

Where'd you get these front valance parts? I may look at going back to stock so it would be good to have this source. I'd likely go with a BRE front airdam. Have you seen this one? https://www.bre2.net/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=B&Product_Code=020B01&Category_Code=bre_datsun_body_parts

Yeah, shame on me for not keeping better track of it. I moved three times since the restoration and I thought for sure it was saved. Maybe with the title somewhere.. I have one more box to dig through..

Mine would be a Porsche 911 Carrera S... ?

Ah, completely forgot to check Banzai.. it looks like he's got just the door plate, which is the only one I need. Sure, I'll let you know what I find. it's a shame the old plate didn't turn up because this is something I'd rather use the original.. ? Appreciate the specification on the punch size. There's one more box I need to look in before taking the plunge -- I'll likely be doing this project over the summer.

Hi all, for some reason the door plate for my car was never found after the restoration. I have the engine plate, but am now looking to replace the door plate. Any of you have experience replacing the plate on your projects? If so, how did you go about stamping the VIN and production date on it? Looks like Zcar Depot has a plate I can buy, but, it doesn't seem to come with the custom stamp. https://zcardepot.com/collections/door-parts/products/data-plate-set-engine-and-year-240z-70-73?variant=19278798422129
