  1. Well Katayama did a heck of a lot prior to the Z so one can easily see how he had the experience and skills to help move the project in the right direction. This is amplified by his love of auto racing He conceived and supported a car design through to manufacturing in the 40's at Nissan http://zhome.com/History/FlyingFeather.htm He hung out with stationed Americans and chaired the start of the SCCN (Japan's equivalent to the SCCA) ~1950 Conceived, organized, and executed the first Tokyo Motor Show 1954. He got Nissan back into racing (post war Australian Rally) and won 1958! He witnessed the post war car boom and sports car boom in the USA . He sold the first Nissan sports cars in the USA 1960 A gazillion other major and minor items. He was capable, knew sports cars, knew Americans and America, knew Japan and corporate Japan. There is no reason to think his roll in the S30 was not significant. I don't think one can find another such individual in Nissan or even Japan at the time. SCCJ Publication, Vol.1.No.1 April 1952 Racing in Japan....yup that is Mr K with the racing goggles.

  10. Hi Ventura. Sorry it sold a while ago. I guess the site has a duplicate. (FYI:https://www.classiczcars.com/classifieds/item/108-hitachi-km-1520zc-amfm-radio/ Perhaps @gnosez can help you. He has a ton of parts and is just NE of you.)
  11. @christoffel if you have time to start going through the historical content on this site you will see and learn a great deal about these cars that you never realized, especially the fine details that Alan, Kats, Carl, Chris, MikeB and many others provide from their love, research, documentation, and connections. Here is a link to help search the past content. Just substitute the key words: https://www.google.ca/search?q=site:classiczcars.com+seat+difference https://www.google.ca/search?q=site:classiczcars.com+seat+difference&source=lnms&tbm=isch Enjoy this post from @kats on the European set up! https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/57418-test-report-of-hls30q-z-europe-model-countermeasures-high-speed-stability/

  13. 1977 280z has an access port in the floor. The sender is in the top of the tank. The connector has 3 wires. Sender return low fuel sensor.
  14. The Jan 1971 above has two holes in the floor. The harness has two groups of wires that run through these: One group is for the sender leads and the other is for a ground connection leads. A 1973 that I am now working on does not have the ground leads coming from the rear harness so it only needs one hole as Kats shows, Here is the run to the fuel sender and the extra leads for the optional fuel pump. Green&Black (Fuel Pump) Yellow& Black (Fuel Sender) Here is the original ground connection that has broken. Two ground leads come out of the the harness and are bonded by the connector.
  15. Jan 1971 has two holes:
  16. Thanks for teaching me! I did not know about this. I just looked at the Jan 71 I restored and there it is:

  18. Was the black spray paint done at dealer?
  19. Yes, the rarity of the R brings the $$$ so it is not apples to apples. However, such a low mileage Z is also very rare so we will soon see its value. Next on deck, it will be interesting to see what a made-in-69 HLS30 in good condition will bring. It is great to see all values rising!
  20. Do it 8 more times and it gets in the realm of the 432-R ?
  21. Nice read and some interesting data: https://translate.google.ca/translate?sl=ja&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ssfalcon.com%2Fhihou%2F3.htm
