Crankcase breather tube quandry
I always thought the freeze plug was a terrible idea. I would vent it to a catch can, at least.

I think if the throttle blades close enough at idle, allowing pcv to function it could work, but then they would tend to stick. Maybe the SU's close off more? I have a patented stack filter, that I am working on, that if done correct, it would be a great place for the pcv to go. I never found a balance of non sticking throttles and working pcv.

Well done dude! I never got PCV and ITB to play nicely. Caused almost a vac like leak. The issue was my idle ended up too high for my liking. So I ditched it. I am going to give the exhaust method a shot.

We hope our Safari Gold 1971 Dattsun 240Z will finally go for sale next Monday
Pretty close to my vin! I am 20212, same color. I have the AM/FM radio, I have the original manual, my neighbor owned the car since it was new and cannot remember having the radio replaced. Maybe the dealer did? I would say it looks factory installed, but I could be wrong. I also have the white wall spare. Which some people have said was odd? My z is crazy low mileage. But sadly she danced on the roof and had her resprayed in the 70s, extremely poorly. Good luck on the sale, it looks like a ludicrous amount of time was put into it!

Just Another Damned Z Car Project Thread
This unit mounts below a single throttle body, this exact setup is only for efi hardware to perhaps the mikuni throttle bodies. Since their butterflies open the opposite way of any other throttle on the market, I have another direction unit I could use as well. That would work for jenvy, borla etc... Its designed to actuate a single arm on a throttle or the overheard bar. Depends on the setup. Currently I have 3 others using it. My intake, perhaps the jenvy tilted up intake and perhaps the FET intakes could work with it. Pushing it up and away from the header.

Chromate Plating
Chrome is more rare these days, but zinc shops are all over the place. A few datsun guys do it as a side hustle.

KW Suspension for Matthew’s 1973 Datsun 240Z
Very cool! I love my ZCG brake kit. The KW stuff is probably amazing, but I can't stand the purple and yellow:)

I got my Datsun Z Car Series Oil Sending Unit Relocation / Remote Block done! I have only one for sale now, but more are on order. I am pretty proud of this design. Three outlet remote oil sending unit block. Metal 3D printed out of aluminum to look stock and mimics the 240z, 260z and 280z brake proportioning block design. Block has 3 outlets, all are 1/8 NPT. Comes with a custom length -3AN hose and one 1/8 NPT -3AN fitting and either a 1/8 BSPT or 1/8 NPT for the engine block side of the hose. Stock sending unit on a 240z is BSPT, this will require a NPT sending unit like this. [https://zcardepot.com/products/oil-pressure-gauge-sender-240z-260z-280z-70-77?variant=32184292737137](https://zcardepot.com/products/oil-pressure-gauge-sender-240z-260z-280z-70-77?variant=32184292737137) No sending units come with this order. Pictures of sending units are just for reference. Link: https://www.m2racing.com/shop/p/datsun-z-car-series-oil-sending-unit-relocation-remote-block
