HLS30-00147

Deflecting a discussion is a well known tactic. Please take the advice as helpful. I'm working on a tribute to the 1969 blue 240z at the Tokyo Motor Show. I considered the words: replicas, copy, etc. but tribute is the only accurate word. I was happy that we are both in the same boat but your 432R tribute is a far more challenging effort than mine.

Beautiful work @christoffel FYI HLS30-00013, 00016, and 00032 have slightly different wing nuts: Here is the rare bird (photo from @kats)

Just keeping your content accurate. I believe you need a body to improve the accuracy in replicating.

I hope it is a clean slate with low weight and low price as the key points. The 350 to 370 path is a sad one. Had the 370 style came out in 2003 then that would have been nice then they could have spent 15 years just making it lighter. The 300zx references may make "the new Z" less "retro" or a truly mixed up mess. It is the S30's 50'th not the 300zx's.

Basically a Mercedes Engine so their block colours are reasonable.

Bang on!

I've seen the embossed "X" shape of the fuel tank sides rolled into other places:

Maybe one day. I have a web site but never seem to find time to add content. Work and other hobbies always seem to get in the way. http://240260280.com/ http://240260280.com/Tech/ http://240260280.com/Docs/ http://240260280.com/Tech/Carbs/Weber/DCOE Theory Operation and Tuning.html old stuff: http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/ I put most of the good stuff on this site. e.g. first Datsun sports car sold in the USA below. First Z's arrive in USA announced in papers:

Thanks Alan! I found your excellent post here:

This topic got me so interested in the 432-R that I just bought one.... the first racer:

Early engines in 1969 had 24mm crank bolt

I love you Chris! ? I did the same lol Early Z's.... pics sorted by VIN and other interesting ones for restoration references...27th pictures are there too! Hoover Bag: 71Gig ~ 61,000 files

Any details on the thinner metal parts in the 432R and the reinforced parts?

The value parameters are specific to the purchaser and include function, desire, and perception. Often one outweighs the other.

This screw should adjust your idle: It is possible you may have an air leak somewhere after the throttle plate that is causing it... The usual culprits are: 1. AAR device 2. BCDD

Prediction: F10 will be the next to exceed $100k ?

I am always amazed at how 4 small bolts carry the load at the differential nose !
