Magazine with coverage of Jan Montreal Car Show and a photo of HLS30-00006

The Gazette Jan 16 1970 Montreal Video from car show (No Datsun coverage) but a few "crushers" https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/1078861/salon-auto-montreal-voiture-19970-archives https://fr-ca.facebook.com/ArchivesRadioCanada/videos/prenez-le-volant-21-janvier-1970/10156199360856052/

44mm is a big carb for a 2litre engine.

New NAFTA Sucks. We do not have much manufacturing in this province. The largest employer in this area would be the 3 Michelin tire plants. They are about to announce moving one to Mexico with the New NAFTA deal.

Photo from the early 70's in a city near where I live. Similar side decal like yours. Very vintage.

Work looks great as always!

Used gaskets. I have one in my garage I'll measure tomorrow. It is a felpro,

Here are Felpro and Nissan HG thickness's measured by reliable Z experts: 1.2mm seems to be average with 1.14mm being minimum.

Use hot glue to hold wire in place. You can run a new wire along the top of the trace if you want a simple fix by connecting the pins at the end of the trace. I think there are 510 spares in the Z garage... pester me in spring when it is open again.

You will have a squish of 0.5mm which is OK.

My fav hair gel from the 80s?

A lot of common aspects of design back then. The A550X wheel well shape with more opening in back is similar to the Z.

4 pic's from @Carl Beck's website showing bell housing on lathe for 240sx transmission mod.

Hard to do a leak down test at BDC except when the cam is out. Perhaps fill chamber with oil or diesel and use a dipstick through plug hole to measure drop over a day.

Perhaps the design was somewhat common like a steering wheel or door handle.

Similar application of rubber, however there are pre-1968 Z designs with similar bumper and rubber over rider design. Convergence rather than copying I think.

I found the opposite over 10 years ago.... I guess something changed ? The ZX hole has degree of freedom to move upward. Perhaps this movement is the key?

Mr. Chips!

I wonder where it was made ?
