There are probably five major seals that would be best suited to Nissan OE if available: windshield, L/R doors, hatch glass, hatch inner. The principle suppliers of repro seals are Precision Replacment Products (PRP) and Vintage Rubber. The MSA kit is likely composed of PRP items. I heard some brief mentions some time ago the VR was actually using some pieces from PRP but I cannot confirm the accuracy of that. PRP door and hatch inner seals have long had a reputation for being fat leading to difficulty closing the doors and hatch. Most of the PRP seals for other areas can be used with good results. Don't overlook Banzai Motorworks and 240ZRubberParts for alternate sources of high quality repro items. Just my $0.05 worth - if that much! 😉 I'm sure others on this forum can chime in with experiences with both PRP and VR items. https://www.prp.com/ https://vintagerubber.com/ http://www.zzxdatsun.com/ https://www.240zrubberparts.com/

That is a great looking car, seems to be in outstanding condition. Congrats on your purchase.

Looking forward to your big reveal.

The 240Z wiring harness passes thru the firewall just below the battery tray.

Looking at the online catalog: http://www.carpartsmanual.com/datsun/Z-1969-1978/engine-240z-260z/accelerator-choke-throttle The one on the right is possibly from a automatic transmission car due to the metal tab on the rod below the pivot ball. That tab is shown in the catalog image. The one on the left is the early model for the throttle cable as @Terrapin Zmentioned. The online catalog shows an end date 7001 for item #20, the throttle cable.

Rob, Thanks for the offer. I'm going to focus on clearing out existing units. so work out a deal with @SteveJ Jim

View Advert 240Z Combo Switches This is a matched set of steering column switches, removed from VIN #1818 – a 02/70 build date car. According to the online parts catalog, the light switch is P/N 25160-E4600 and the turn signal switch is P/N 25540-E4600. These switches will likely fit all 1969 – 1971 LHD models thru build date 08/71. The switches have been extensively refurbished. The light switch was completely disassembled and cleaned. All contacts burnished, treated with dielectric grease, and continuity tested to verify functionality. The plastic control stalk has been polished to a like-new finish, all symbols are fresh and clear. The wiring harness is in perfect condition as are the terminals and connector. The turn signal switch was disassembled and cleaned. Contacts for the turn signal function were burnished, treated with dielectric grease, and continuity tested. The high/low beam switch was not disassembled. The plastic case on these units is extremely fragile and usually breaks with any handling. The switch has been tested for full 12V functionality. The wiring harness is in perfect condition, the same for the terminals and connectors. The lever arm has a fresh coat of satin black. The two switch set is $450 which includes standard domestic shipping. International shipping is available at actual cost. Payment via PayPal. PM if interested, thanks.

All of the S30 series cars used the strut tube - front and rear, as the reservoir for the hydraulic fluid. The shock or insert as you term it was an open design with no protective casing or shell. The FSM covers it very thoroughly. Today's shocks are fully encased/sealed units. +1 on your comment of adding a small amount of oil to the tube to prevent rustwelding of the new shock to the bottom of the strut tube. KONI recommends it, apparantly KYB does not.

I have the 3-piece set, pretty sure it was the 2mm pen. BTW - hold on to the cap seal and put it back in place to keep the pen fresh.

Here's a radio I did with the chrome pen.

That would be the Molotow Chrome Pen - been there, done that. Awesome results as in "like new"! https://www.amazon.com/Liquid-Mirror-Chrome-surface-0-7mm3pcs/dp/B09C5S25Z6/ref=sr_1_3_sspa?crid=1NR32QQPZ8KZW&keywords=molotow+liquid+chrome&qid=1657543246&sprefix=moloto%2Caps%2C103&sr=8-3-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzQVZDM0dRRDAxMUlGJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNTMxMTMzQktOMFpWMDc2QUxBJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAwNTE5OTFXWVVVRlE5RE1QRkcmd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl

Perhaps it would help a bit to clarify some terminology. The strut is the upright tube and its assembled parts. The shock is a hydraulic dampener that fits inside the strut tube. The OE shocks were an open design (no shell cover) and used the strut tube as a reservoir to contain the hydraulic fluid. That is why your FSM refers to filling the strut tube with hydraulic fluid. New shocks are sealed units that simply slide into the strut tube. They are secured with a large nut called a gland nut, the same as the OE shocks. Most new shocks suggest that a small amount of oil or hydraulic fluid be addded to the strut tube to assist with heat transfer. Most new shocks also provide a gland nut that is designed to match the shock. Hope this helps a bit.

Hah! Alaska and Hawaii not accounted for, still thinking of the "lower 48" as the colonies?

In the ZCCA "Stock" class the cars are judged on how well they represent the original factory appearance and equipment as it rolled out of the factory. If the valve cover is your only change, you can take a chance in the Stock class knowing you will give up points for that item. The first round judges are usually not that harsh as many of them are actually other owners with only limited judging experience. The advantage of electing the "Street Modified" class is that the judging switches to not so much "what" you have done but rather "how well" it has been done. Attention to detail and cleanliness are the deciding factors at this point. The first round judging decides all of the class awards and "Best ..." awards. For first round cars finishing with 290 or more points, it is the second round judging that really gets crazy intense. All of the judges will be very experienced in prior ZCCA events and they will be ruthless for the Gold Medallion and Gold Cup contenders. Good luck and have fun at the big dance!

It might be the back side of the ignition switch that handles the electrical components. It is all plastic and wears out over the years. Easily replaced.
