Thank you 2ManyZs, Yes I agree with you,once the glass heats up it keeps well mist out.But I am wondering,1969 Zs do not have a electrick defroster, right? How do the cars defog?And why NISSAN did not aply it for DATSUN 240Z 1969 model?I saw the 2 road test 240Z in Oct 1969 with electrick defroster and show actual working in the cold morning. kats

Alan, Thank you so much at SAGAMIKO event.And I was very happy that you met Mr.MATSUO and he told you so many interesting stories of Z,we are waiting for your new inputs here,Alan. And thank you so much you gave me a fantastic present,a two hook I received it from a postman in the afternoon just before the long range night cruise for SAGAMIKO.I painted it quickly then installed it,looks perfect!!I have been looking for this for a long time.But you got angry because I met you at the event,you could bring the hook for me!Anyway I was very happy I met you again since NISMO festival 2001. Hello 26th-Z,I hope you enjoyed Alan's nice photos.Today I would like to intoroduce japanese web site,featuring many SAGAMIKO's photos there.That is, http://datsun30.hp.infoseek.co.jp/ZOC2003_sagamiko.html You can see also Mr.MATSUO and Mr.YANAGIDA(very famous racer) making a speech. And at the event,I found truely original jute pad for 1969-1970 z. Mr.WATANABE his DEC 1969 fairlady Z432 has still its original jute pads under and behind the seats.Japanese Z's tool boxes lay out is different(just switching left and right)from Left hand Z's. But I can say the basic patterns are the same for both of them.That is , http://www.geocities.jp/datsunz903/M2d.jpg I returned home,then I took my jute pads out from my car,I cut extra jute pads and trimed them for original shape.

And this is actual working rear defroster. For complete defrost,it took about 30 minutes. Is this too slow? kats

A japanese Glass company ASAHI's tag.

A small tag on the driver's side lower corner. I found this was also seen in the 240z for road test in the U.S. in Oct 1969.

Hello,everyone I got a NOS rear glass with defroster through japanese auction. My original one did not work,two electric terminals were deteriorated and almost broken off. New one was installed recently,and today I have to drove in the rain,I had a oppotunity to test my defroster. It did work,I am very happy with it but it was so slow to defrost.I was about to reglet my spending a lot of money for it. Roughly 10 minutes after switch it on,gradualy began to defrost. How do every one do with this defroster? Thanks kats

Hello abas, This is the one which I want to buy. I see it is dirty but if I clean it, will be good looking easily,won't it be? Do you see any major damage or crack on the surface? If it does not have big problem,could you sell it for me?I want to buy it. To minimize shipping cost,without steel wheel is preferable. Anyway,thank you abas. kats

Hi abas, This is a very good news for me,I am very interested in yours. It does not matter it is dirty or clean,I want to see it. When you get photos,please show me,please. Thank you, kats

Hi Alan, Yes, Mr.IGARASHI said in his book following, #1 Oct 10th 1969, R382 won #2 Oct 15th 1969 , A big party held by NISSAN for won R382 and 510 safari #3 Oct 18th 1969, press pre-view event #4 Oct 24th 1969, he took the photo of 240Z in TOKYO motor show began. #5 Nov 25th 1969, test drive day for journalists I identified the difference in C-piller emblem for fairlady-Z. I found early fairlady-Zs like press photo or motor show have different color pattern C-piller emblem.They have additional silver ring around "Z" but later ones do not have just painted black. For DATSUN 240Z,same story,earliest C-piller 240Z emblem and deck 240Z emblem have chrome plated "Z" later ones have white"Z". I told it from my Z friend Jeff in the U.S. kats

Hi 2ManyZs, As Alan posted,the wheels on the test vehicle are different from actual sold model"Z-432". Z-432's wheel is made of magnesium,so at that time owners were cautioned not to remain in solt-water. 1970 Jan magazine said 50,000yen for 1 wheel(aproximately $150 U.S.)This wheel was very expensive,now they are still expensive in yahoo auction in JAPAN.$1,000 U.S. for 4 wheels. Thanks, kats

Hi, This photo is from a May 1970 DATSUN 240Z service bulletin. You can see "HL270". 270 is a "KAIHATSU-KIGOU"means development or project or pre-production code of S30. S30 is a model name,you know.

This is a same 240Z as Alan last posted
