Here you go Kyteler. These are 15 by 9jj with a -18mm et. I love em. How do you like that for fender rolling. -
I love vintage Japanese cars. This one looks so right -
I am not sure of the year. I am guessing it is a 1971 or 72' Can some one correct me if I am wrong? Check out the polished Longchamp XR-4's. I am not for vinyl tops, but this one looks good. -
Check out this old school DOHC 4 with the Mikunis. This car was very clean with original paint as far as I could tell. -
This clean AE86 was at the San Jose Japan Town festival car show. There were a hand full of great old school JDM cars. No Z's, but some great cars non the less -
I can supply pictures of the little plugs as my car has them if someone is interested, but it is probably not that interesting. Ben

My car came with a Amco leather knob. It is not in the greatest of shape, but I still have it.

That is the Zbart crap. I guess it really fights against rust, but it looks aweful. It is a combination of tar and something else. It comes off quite easily with nevr dull and the paint underneath is untouched as long as you don't rub too hard.
-
Other than the Zbart and the hooker headers I can't find any flaws. The Zbart in the engine bay is aweful. My car came with it and I have tried to remove it without damaging the paint that is underneath and it is really hard. Besides that, this car looks like a keeper. What am I missing here? Ben

There is a couple things that I am going to point out. First, it is a home market (JDM) Nissan Fairlady Z. Secondly, Fairlady Z (S30), with the L20 that you mentioned was built from late 69'-73 or 75 (I am not sure here because the S31 came out around 74ish, I think. I will have to be corrected on this.). I would not know where to look to find this car, but some of the UK members probably do. Good luck finding this car. Ben

That sounds great Eric. I would love to go one day. I dont want to hijack this thread as they would say so I will leave it at that. Thanks Eric, and if I have any more questions I will just send you a pm. Ben

I have seen one TRUST setup for sale on ebay before, but that is it. I too have seen these setups for sale in nostalgic hero. I am going to need a exhaust system in the near future and this is the one of my choice, but I am not sure where to look if I were to purchase this. Do you think you could give me some pointers Alan or Eric. It would probably not be for another 4 months until I am ready to purchase, but I would really like to know where and how much I could get a TRUST system with the TRUST header as well. Take care, Ben

Is 7 a vinyl top? Also, the deck spoiler, #12 on the list, that they show has the two bumps on it. I have seen ones before like that, but there are also ones that don't have the bumps either. Is the deck spoiler with the bumps the earlier version of the spoilers? Were the bumps for style or function? I really like this thread Lachlan. I am sure Enrique will too. I would love to learn as much as I can about these parts. I am sure it is a huge list, and I am sure the Datsun Competition list is even larger. I will post pictures of my Datsun Competition shift knob when I can. Would this be the right place to post it? Take care and keep these threads going. It is invaluble to the people that are interested. I am sure more will get interested as they see it. Ben p.s. I wish I had a lot of these options on my car, but I am going to pass on the vinyl top if that is what it is.

Nice metal fan. I really think it is great what you are doing with this car Chris. Good luck. Ben -
I agree with you Chris. Alan, topics like this and others are probably interesting to more people on this site than you think. I am not dissing you in anyway for what you think others think, I am just saying that you are not alone in your interests here, but sometimes all some of us can do is sit back and see what people have to say on the topics we can't really participate in. As you know, it is not all V8's and bodykits here. It is chrome ring headlight covers, oem footrests, and Z saving. We love the factory options! Take care, Ben :classic:

I am going all gunmetal. I am just hoping that I can get them color matched to the fronts because there is no way that I am going strip off Watanabe gunmetal paint. At least I hope I don't have to. -
Check out the valve stem cap Lachlan. -

This is a 14" by 7J type B Watanabe wheel. The offset is 8mm. I am planning to use 195 by 65 tires up front. -
This is a 14 by 7.5J type B Watanabe wheel. The offset is +1.5mm. -
These are 14" by 7.5J type B RS-Watanabe wheels and there is a 1.5mm offset. They will eventually be going on the rear of my 260z. I am thinking of using a 215 by 60 tire.

I am not sure about the red plate knobs rusty, but I know they came on the 280's here in the states. There are so many possiblities for these knobs. Everyone is certain of the wood knob for the 240, but when it comes to the 260 there are a lot of parts in transition. My friend Marc has a 75' 280z and his also has the green plate/black knob. I am almost certain that it is original as well. Ben

I have seen that before too, but the black rubber with the green shift pattern plate is correct as well. In the factory brochure of the early 260z, it had the green shift plate on the black knob. I am not for certain, but I believe that the very early 260z's came with the wood knobs because they still had extras from the 240z's.
