Great photo!!Where did you get this from?

Nice pictures,thank you for sharing them. Keep us up date, Takeuchi san !

Yeah daddz,

this engine is very complicated,need to be very careful to assemble and disassemble.

Amazing,Alan is doing rebuilding S20 engine by himself!!

Thank you daddz and Alan.

Yes this color finish is not original.Moroe- san has a strong polcy for this black paint.It is dualable so much he said.And plated engine mounts,not only these Moroe-san love to aplpy plating because it is dualable too.Good for preventing rust.

I wish this water side hose become braided,Moroe-san has huse collection of early parts so I think he does.

Alan,is your mail adress good ? I wanted to send P.M. for you about Z and lots of things.

Hello Alan,

Thank you for your input.That is what I want.I too understand it is not safe to say "this is 100% sure" according old color picture.I love this grey very much though.

This Z432 has S20-000884!! Very near from your 432R's engine.Yes this car registered Jan 1970,I found tach and speed meter and lots of parts dated 44(1969)and some 45(1970). The dash is stamped 26 DEC 1969,after the X'mas day is not it?

This car is PS30-00088 and S20-000884.Lots of "8" I love it. In japan,8 means good thing.I can not exprain it in english for now.Could you help me Alan.

Hello Chris and dadds,

This valve cover's color is correct for 1970 S20 engine.I can see this color in the some magazines issued jan or feb 1970.

I was told this color "greenish" is the second , the earliest S20 is "blackish".

I think this is almost right. And there is a factory RED one this is the third and final,I do not know for this.I am not for sure.

Alan can give an answer for us !!

I am doing post a new thread for HLS30 and PS30/comparison between these early 1970 cars.

Thank you taikaki,

and remember muffler finisher and distributer cap?

They still looks great on my car!!

Hi,Alfadog,do you remember my post about Mr.Matsuo's autograph hiding a hole of mirror?I did a great job,but what a sad thing is due to aging,I mean sun-light and vapor get turned the autograph dissapear!!So I replaced it to a national flag of the U.S.I did not mean anything,just I have got a saficiant sticker in my box.

Do not worry,I have got 2 more Mr.Matsuo's autographs!!

Thank you Ben,I am so satisfied with wining for the daily driver class.If I have 2 exactly same this 240Z,I would like to try for the stock class.

Thank you every body,I am so glad this photo is looking good for many people.Maybe some one would tell me "do not do that",but my Z had got exterior washed by car wash service at Hilton parking lot.Please forgive me,I was so busy for the detailing,I could not have time to polish by myself.$120 for 3 year protection is not so bad!

Thank you all,this is one of my "good job kats!" items which I want to say myself.

I could not find the way to hide holes first,but I was luky because there was a huge business center next to Hilton.I will continue in a new thread...

Thank you ChrisA,this blue is called"bay side blue metalic"in japan.This blue is for R34 skyline GTR.

Ben,you are the first american guy who rides on the LY powered shipped in the U.S.??If it so,I am so proud of you!

Thank you,my Z's blue is not original but I like it so much.When its exterior gets fading after some 10 years,I will paint it to the original color.

Thank you Gav240z,BTW I want to put a carifornia licence plate.I bought it from ebay last year,but I can not take japanese licence off because it has sealed small cap on the left side screw.

Thank you 280Zone,Dan was retired from airline,he must be a great pilot.He said he has been living in japan several years.

I expected more 240Zs,but just 10 or so for daily driver.This day was so chilly,I needed a jacket.

Thank you,I should have realized it.Is anyone can erase that FedEx for me??

Yes,he got.Behind Mike,there was a his wife Katy there!This restrant was so active,every server were very friendly.

Hi taikaki-san,

I saw this on ebay and I was thinking about who was going to bid for this beautiful Z.

Nice Z I like this orange!

And this S130 is my friend Mr.IWAYA's car.

This car ran in the U.S. from L.A. to LASVEGAS

in 2000 national convention.I was there with him.

kats

Oh yes,this is mine!!Thank you.

Hi,I like this shot.Beautiful Zcar with nice location!

Hi,billcapp

Thanks for looking.

The one on the left hand side is Mr.MATSUO's.He was a chief designer of S30 Z.

On the right hand side,this is Mr.K's signature.

I got both of them when they visited a shop "Ultimate"where my Z was under restoration.
