They say in the comments, it was not a full resto, they only do bodywork

Looks the same like they did with the chevelle im doing here now. Cut out the old and overlay... That's not the way it should be done🤪.

Like Mart says it's a 70 . The title might be 71… cause it was sold in 71

Picked it up. Next stop dropping it off at the rebuild shop, where the other damaged fs5c71a is.. now we can finally complete this.. 👌

Some update: I did a lot of searching and e-mails to Datsun clubs and people around the world. Also Kats helped in this. A shop in Australia could also help me with parts for the FS5C71A. Then by luck, a garage here in Brabant Pronvince, close to Zeeland, had a complete transmission laying around ! How luck is that ? I'm going to pick it up coming weeks, then drop it off at the transmission shop so he can check it out, and then I can complete my original 240Z 5 speed swap in the future.

Then it would be light weight sound deadening

On top of that was a rubber mat?

The ratio's are different for the 5 speed transmission so i dont think the final same top speed claim is correct.

Well I have one now ( 2 actually now) Mart. Pretty sure the A came in the European market. They are just even harder to find because most z's rotted away here and where scrapped. I think I Just got lucky.

You could try sanding it and then apply boat laquer clear coat with a brush

The rust monster is busy again I see ....

i have an r180 here with 3.90, but it's from a 240z non us, so they did make them, just not on the later z's

I dont know what the reason might be, but the 240Z is much more known in the US, hence prices people are willing to pay for them.

I agree. Changes went slowly throughout production. Maybe people started calling the ones with the 240z emblems on the rear pillar and the vented rear hatch series 1 ...

@dutchzcarguyMine also has that typical spot, although welded, its not done correctly, should be welded flush so you don't see it. Its one of the things I need to fix when have some more time coming years. To busy with other projects right now

There are parts damaged or worn out. I asked Kats if he can have a look there in Japan 🧐. 1 Gear is damaged and needs replaced. Also synchro rings and selector forks 1-4… bearings and seals

😳😳😳😳😳

Currently I have the diff and the driveshaft for the euro version 240z ready. Still working on the transmission, need to find parts first. ( FS5C71A )

Actually it was still good ! 50 plus years old, amazing japanese quality... kanto seiki so it's still original lock..

Yes I have done both Mart... It's not tape, it's vulancized rubber tape. It's pretty close to the metal battery hold down frame, I don't want anything exposed. Besides it helps with keeping the oxidation away. This lasted maybe 7 years or so, long enough till next time. lol why ? The battery clamp is still good, no need to replace it :P

If you want repo send it to China and have a factory that does spark plug cables do them. Im sure they can do it.

Fixed it! The problem was simply the battery terminals and to the block ( earth ). Not the terminal itself but the cable that is clamped to it ( Universal battery clamp ). Cleaned everything and some electro water resistant spray on it. Damn cold weather and moisture here 😭. Moisture is a big problem here even in summer...

It's not the ignition switch. I did have some power back shortly. I do not hear a click anymore. Could it be this relay?

Well Carl, the market in the US seems totally different for what people over the pond here are willing to pay for a 240z then
