B25 Mitchell in foreground... One of the Doolittle planes.

Another but $175 https://www.ebay.com/itm/DATSUN-SERIES-ONE-240Z-Temperature-140-lb-Oil-Pressure-Gauge-70-71/153754728528?hash=item23cc7ef850%3Ag%3Ar10AAOSwSKBd7U7D&LH_ItemCondition=4

I'm not blaming anyone. Perhaps as you suggested above, Morton may not have braked sufficiently or he had cold brakes... however, going into that area, Morton's line followed the Mustang and the yellow car followed the Daytona. In your last picture above, the yellow car is not behind the Daytona but between Morton and the Mustang. It changed lines...but the Daytona and white car did not.

That's a lot of energy over a typo. The teams have radios and accident locations are nearly always are broadcast immediately. The two cars in front held their line, most likely because they knew or anticipated 2 abreast going into that area (gathered from the 2 abreast since the start of the race).... and/or they checked their mirrors. The yellow car changed lines going in to a turn braking.... that is not best practice. Especially when seated on the right w/o a blind spot.

Shoji Kato is annoyed: He's the factory representative in Canada of Japan's Datsun car and he's annoyed with dealers across Ontario because they underestimated the market. Datsun is the biggest-selling overseas car in Canada and the other Japanese cars are not far behind. 1971

Jim,you are becoming the resident brain surgeon.

Map can melt aluminum.. propane not

In line In Line Off Line The Yellow car changed lines. It started following the Daytona and the white car but then changed lines to behind the Mustang.... all under braking. Cold brakes or no brake pedal applied could have also factored but not keeping the line under braking seems to be the first error.

56mm "dowel" as a guide with a 62mm hole saw fastened to it. https://www.amazon.ca/62mm-Carbide-Metal-Cutter-Hole/dp/B00L0N0M2W Sort of like this but with a 56mm dowel in the centre to act as a guide

I agree with ZH... you should run away from the Auction House and hit BAT in the spring when people are hunting for cars.

The two cars leading the yellow car had cars to their right. They both left room for these cars and seemed to have "situational awareness" into and out of the corner. The yellow car was, at first, following them then suddenly switched lanes going into the corner.... I would understand if it was F1 and two Ferraris that hit each other.

Low rpm highway cruise would be wonderful! Light 240z with >2.8l pushing it along ?

Nice Z !!!

You can remove the oil filter and push a hose in the galley that goes to the front of the engine above the alternator then pump oil into the hose. IV style prime:

yes prime the pump

Looks like they made atleast a few shark gill Z's that moved: 3 Gill no drip rail 4 Gill with curved drip rail AND ROLL Bar! Chris you have helped connect some of the pieces!

Hi Chris, First. WOW.... you are great to see those "shark gills"! I thought it was just wrinkles from a first attempt at a vinyl top. That my help narrow the time of the wind tunnel and dust resilience test videos. (Sorry I ran out of "likes" for today but "LIKE" to you!!!!) Here is where I stumbled across the early testing video. The later part shows the neat stuff: https://global.nissannews.com/ja-JP/videos/video-e3f77bf0445dce99ca6040492d01a69c-240z_s30_heritage Some of the pictures above are from frame captures and tweaking of resolution and lighting to bring out points of interest I dug a bit more and found a few shots here: https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&rurl=translate.google.ca&sl=ja&sp=nmt4&tl=en&u=https://nissangallery.jp/ghq/mikoukai_201401/&xid=17259,15700021,15700186,15700190,15700256,15700259,15700262,15700265,15700271,15700283&usg=ALkJrhif64yf2GBxy6LKqyizt2dI9P0rSQ I believe the first Shark Gill car above is a plastic static model however the wind tunnel car seems like the one driven by Mr. Takei in the video. The drip rail also curves in the wind tunnel car! 4 Gill 3 Gill with curved drip rail, and very early spoiler design

It is interesting to see the roof chop. Thanks! I noted a similar approach here: SITE: https://news.goo.ne.jp/article/clicccar/trend/clicccar-20170314-452093.html
