  1. Datsun S30 strut-brace bars The cars handle pretty well already but push them a little harder and the weight of that great six-inline stresses the hollow chassis rails causing body-flex and upsetting the front geometry through corners and bends. Keep it all straight and pointed where you want with a front strut-brace bar. A rear bar is less effective but doesn’t hurt AND serves as a harness bar for those enjoying track-days and autocross. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thick, aluminum bracket plates for strength, painted dark anthracite Zinc-plated bolts and stainless-steel nuts* and washers* for ultimate corrosion resistance *Each bar includes 6x strut top nuts and locking washers All aluminum tubular bars and fixings for strength and weight-saving : Weights : Front kit : 640 grammes / 1.4lbs Rear kits : 640 – 760 grammes / 1.4 – 1.7lbs Less than 1.5kgs / 3lbs per kit of two !

  2. Datsun S30 door threshold sill-plates Resto-mod options for your Datsun Z. Tired of cleaning out those OEM plates, perhaps they’re bent, damaged, scuffed and with odd-sized screws….? These new restomod plates won’t rust, don’t require drilling holes* and look great, finishing off any restoration and adding a bit of sparkle everytime you open the door for a drive ! *a set of stainless-steel screws are included if you must have that stock look but otherwise easily retained with double-sided tape (not supplied) Sold as a pair and available in aluminum or stainless-steel – the latter are more shiny and more resistant. Versions for 2x seaters and longer, at the same price, for the 2+2s. These may also fit other Datsun saloons, pickups, coupés..... Weights : Alu kit of two : 320g / 0.7lbs SUS kit of two : 640g / 1.5lbs Aluminium : usd$60 / €50 / aud$87 / £45 Stainless-steel : usd$80 / €70 / aud$122 / £60 Typical postage costs for a pair : USA/Canada : usd$40 Europe : €17 Australia : aud$66 UK : £22 All in stock for immediate shipping. Good looks shouldn't break the bank !
  3. Thanks - another (perhaps market specific ?) - the U98. Do you know which year (s) please ?
  4. The S30 parts constantly evolved over the years and not at set periods - Nissan introduced changes (sometimes improvements) asap in mid-year/production model runs. This also applies to the cast-iron exhaust manifolds and so far for the 240Z alone, I've noted the following cast numbers (visible under the ports 5 + 6 : U87 N42 N47 N33 E30 - this I know is the European version. Generally, I believe, the different parts denote different methods by which Nissan passed their cars through certain anti-pollution controls (?) however all appear to be of the same dimensions......except the 1973 (last) version before the introduction of the 260Z.. This manifold is longer towards the flange which is itself at a slightly different angle. This means that the 1973 downpipes were shorter than the previous AND post versions and I'm trying to foind one please. In the absence of the real part, I'd would like to at least know the casting code, please, on the 1973 OEM exhaust manifold ? Can you list here any other manifold casting numbers with their car model and year please ? Many thanks in advance.
  5. Ok thanks but would you know the casting number on the OEM exhaust manifold please ?
  6. I would like to know the casting code, please, on the 1973 OEM exhaust manifold ? Are you selling a '73 downpipe ?

  8. Datsun Nissan L series engine bronze oil pump drive worm gear View Advert A natural upgrade new part for your high-performance L6, L4 and NAPS-Z L4 engines. Conceived and designed for competition use, this part is equally at home in street-modified engines, drifting, hill-climbing and rag-runs ; a must if your engine regularly revs high and especially enduringly. It is fitted to reduce accelerated wear to the drive teeth and therefore gear failure* and is especially efficient at high RPMs. Gear failure will send metal fragments around your engine via the oil and may lead to a complete halt in lubrification and catastrophic engine failure !!! This the essentiel part that you'll find in the Book "How to modify your Nissan and Datsun OHC engine*" on pages 93 and 133.......and the Datsun Competition Parts Dept catalogue on page 7 ! *which incidentally shows one of my NISMO headers on the front page :-) It is basically a small and inexpensive piece of life-insurance for the longevity of your performance engine - not to be overlooked lightly, its' absence could cost you dearly. Dozens of these have been already fitted by high-performance engine builders with no failures ! All the major performance engine specialists, whether they be motorbikes, V8s or our own L-gatas fit bronze oil drives - you'll see them listed in their quotes. An explanatory video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LanQHfNsso8 Applicable to 240Z 260Z 280Z 280ZX Fairlady Z Skyline NISMO Made by Rondeau (France) Engineering under my supervision to the original USA Datsun Competition and Nissan Motorsport specification. usd$205 per item with shipping included (tracked and insured).

  10. If one seperates the headers from the 'X' what do you call the 'X' to differentiate ir from the entire system of headers and 'X' ? A 'set', a 'system', 'pipework' ? For Alan, this is what is listed on RHDJapans (Jason quoted their price listing as a reference) : https://www.rhdjapan.com/fujitsubo-exh-performance-unit-epu-legalis-total-exhaust-system-fairlady-z-s30-gs30-hs30-2-seater.html Compatibility is from maker for JDM cars only. We don't guarantee fitment. Always do your own research before purchase. Nissan Fairlady Z GS30 L20 (10/1971-08/1975) Nissan Fairlady Z HS30 L24 (10/1971-01/1974) Nissan Fairlady Z S30 L20 (10/1971-08/1975) I see no mention of the later S31 models ! I don't see the inverted first flange either but that's probably RHDJpn being lazy and using a previous, library photo
  11. Again, no-one has translated the write-ups so unless the questions are asked, only you would know and this is the first time you've mentioned the S31s despite plenty of conjectures over R180 vs R200 fitting. I'm not putting words into anyones' mouths - people here are independant indivuduals with their own, autonomous thoughts....to even suggest otherwise is an insult to 'them', like they're some kind of lost flock and I'm the Pied Piper - it's comic.
  12. I'm not looking for any credibility here - just asking a couple of questions, which nobody, least of all you, have answered - so why did they invert their flange - I see no ground-clearance advantage from the photos and I don't read Japanese ! Oh gosh, in my haste to reply, did I mispell whilst using an Azerty keyboard, I prostrate myself for my sin. A little 'petite' and not at all classy on your part Alan....'scraping the barrel' rather.
  13. A line is......: an exhaust line.....that which follows from the exhaust manifolds/headers, collector/extractor. Dyno-developed on what size engine and state of tune ? The stock L20 for which their system is quoted (joke)...c'mon, dyno-developed is sooo vague, you don't blindly accept that on good faith do you ?
  14. MHO : 1) there is no difference in ground clearance by inversing the initail flange fitting (between header and line). However, it does subtely oblige people to buy their exhaust line with the headers. 2) the twin exhaust lines leading from the reasonators look too low to be benefitting from the front diff support bar/crossmember inverted 'U' cut-outs. 3) And very tongue in cheek - when wishing to sell to Zs with R200s (eg 280Zs ?à, would it be a good idea to lengthen the outlet pipes (or at least offer sais as an export option with lowered exit pipes for the muffler to sit higher) to pass beyond the Federal safety rear bumper ? ps why don't Fujitsubo offer their headers in at least two primary-pipe diameter sizes ?
  15. Hi - I've never said that I make them physically ! I produce them, I've conceived them and I sell them but the quantities demanded are way above those that I can make and the raw materials' prices here in France are too crazy ! I apologise if what I said gave you the wrong impression however, all are hand-made.
