72 OJ

Thanks for the link.....My 72 Z is not a restore to factory specs and has been refresh with a l260 block,l240 head , 71 SU carbs , interior redone in fabric and vinyl ,the Orange paint is a little brighter than the factory, it has vintage Fairlady Z emblems on the fenders, bullet chrome style side mirrors,a MOMO steering wheel and shift knob, so I think that this unique emblem is a proper add on.

It could also mean SPECIAL SUPER SPORT.....thanks for finding out it's origin ,I think it will give my special to me Z a unique touch.

You guys are the Sherlock Holmes of Z LAND....mystery solved,I kinda like it and being a Nissan/Datsun part it will be attached to the rear spoiler on my Z.

PS...it is a one piece emblem with nice patina , found on EBAY .

Can you identify this emblem

Z boy....any updates on your hunt.

Good looking Z.....

I did this to my 510....I will post the install as soon as they get to my door, just made the order this afternoon.

This is place to get the Z ADDICTION FIX......

I GOT THEM....found them at DATSUNLANDSOCAL phone #714 3930273...part # D001 $ 48.00..just the rubber squeegee part no metal trim.

Sweet Z

I live in the Baltimore/Wash.DC corridor......and need a driver side door squeegee ,mine is dry and leaks ,willing to pay a fair price with shipping or pick up if it is close to me.....thanks:cool:

CONGRATS....... pictures please

Very nice red Z and good documented refresh. I grew up around Opel's and other fine Euro cars, my father had a Capitan model and Commodore's were a popular model to import after an European Vacation in the 70's to Caracas Venezuela.

No garage at the moment,living with sister and my small fleet ,a 72 orange two door sedan 510,72 orange Z ,both under car covers and my DD a 2012 FIAT 500 sleep outside . My 150 two stroke orange VESPA is under the rear deck.

I see that the blue Z with the Rebello is gone/sold.......Is it in your driveway/garage?

Today was sunny and 30 degrees ,,,so it was a nice crispy day to do a couple of mods on ORANGINA, installed a 14'' MoMo four spoke leather vintage steering wheel and remove the rear bumper chrome guards .

My 2 cents......buy a California Z,plenty,rust free,some are sorted out and on the long run even with transport you will be saving money/headaches. Have fun in your hunt .

2600 rpm's at 60 mph ...wow, I will keep your RX(auto r180/3.545 ratio) for future mods. What tranny completes this formula?

Thanks........I will leave ORANGINA with its current internals.

is my current rpm at 70 mph consider OK

Thanks for the link....but no chart ....lets try this question? If a chance a 77/83 5 speed transmission from a 280Z/ZX ...how low will the rpm's be in 5th gear/over drive. Will it be significant ?

My newly acquire and refresh 1972 240 does 70 mph at 3.7 rpm's....If I swap to a 5 speed tranny how relax will it get ?

:laugh:LOLNo wonder it was not put back on after the paint refresh and I see it missing on a lot of interior pictures.

thanks for response....I try this from the get go and will do it again ,but will add patience this time around.
