Mostly all aftermarket seals use modern blended synthetic rubber that are to stiff, not like the old Original ( naturel ) rubber that was used on the seals.
-
A lot of aftermarket door seals for the Z are to thick, I found that problem to. I have a topic somewhere with the right kind of seal for it.

That's a big problem for rust on these cars. 5 years ago an immitation front wind shield rubber was put into my 240Z at the paint shop. On some spots on the roof it's slowly letting some water through I can allready see on the paint almost microscopic bits. The original must have been better quality. Always a fight against rust with these Datsun's...?

@ Mart: good one Some pictures from yesterday with my mom's BMW Z3, fun car, but to small engine only 1.8. Paint and rims are not perfect on the Z3, but that's not my job to do ? When I picked up the 240 from the paint shop he said the rear deck lid was starting to get bad and have to replace it within 2 years. So I ordered a replacement panel from the US. Maybe next year together with the floor pans ?

Only thing I see is cars getting heavier and fatter and more hp to counter that. Why not go '' back to basics '' 1000kg car, with a modern 2.4 liter N/A and a 6 speed manual ? It's not all about the horsepower.. It's cool going up in numbers but eventually you end op with a 9 liter displacement Z car ? But sadly that's not possible because of modern safety regulations ? , requiring all that safety and electronic crap adding weight to the car.

Ah okay. That's what I thought so also. Let's assume that for now...
-
So comparing that to the other 2 pictures in my first post. This seems to be a different clutch ? Where there 2 types, or are the other ones for a colder climate maybe ? Or not specific S30 ? Maybe someone can clear this out ?
-
Even bare ( cast ) aluminium can have different finishes. A light coat of heat resistant mat paint from the factory would make sense. The inside of the cover obviously would be bare aluminium since the oil film wil protect it. And they wouldnt want to risk paint coming of on the inside would they But anyhow it's a good question..
-
To bad its a design flaw would love to have the correct metal fan on.. Will try to source the clutch and have it balanced. Keep the plastic fan on then for now...

Rebuild Hood hinges are on! Finally it's good again very happy with the result ?

Okay. The red one could be a universal one for datsun maybe ?
-
That one looks the same like the one with the steel fan on in the picture, but the other 2 are different it seems ? The guy from the red one mailed me he said he was sure it came of a " series 1 as he calls it " Z... Interesting..
-
Found 2 different clutches like it seems ? Which one is for the steel fan, anyone ?
-
That's my question... One of my dutch friends ( Mart ) on the forum here, he has one, but that one doesn't have it.
-
A question for the guru's out there.. I have found an early type Fan, that I want to put on my Z. I've read on some online shops for Z parts that the early steel fans, also had different clutches , is this so ? Also I saw that my fan blade is missing some metal on one blade, should i have this balanced or just weld it up, smooth it out and it will be balanced enough ? Bart
-
I found one here in the Netherlands by luck.. It seems in good condition, I have a question maybe somebody knows it here, there seems to be some metal sanded of on one blade, is this normal ( for balance ? ) or not ?

Are you sure. Look at the one from BATT ( they claim Original so.. ? ) it's clearly yellow zinc plated or I must be blind, or they must have done this themselves ?
-
I have no idea. It act's like a choke maybe ? If I look @ the BAT 240.. it seems it was yellow zinc plated, which would make the most sence when new. Cause the factory would zinc all the parts together, not going to do a fan seperate?
