original jute material
To the best of my knowledge, Chester & Herod manufactured carpeting for the first 1800 cars imported into North America. They used a closed loop pile material as per Nissan and used patterns from the rubber floor mats. This according to e-mail correspondence dating back to 2006. Hi. We copied the rubber mats for our pattern but they had 5 prototype demos and they were all different floor. When they (decided) on the one that they would produce, they put a jack behind the passenger seat with a cut out on the rear mat for it & we made 1800 mats that we had to take back & make that cut out for the jack. Those rudder mats is what they (were) going to use until they saw our carpet. We can make rubber mats but carpet comes with padding. We can make wool carpet if you (want) it'. Hi We have the original pattern. The original was loop. We made carpet for the first 1970 Z (1800 cars) that (were) shipped to the U. S. A. We can make the carpet any way and out of any carpet you (want).

original jute material
Original rubber flooring came on the early USA exports without any jute insulation. Carpeting was added at the port of entry with jute. The front mats probably look like this?

Aerodynamic Study: Spoilers & Blunt Nose and Under cover
We have discussed that magazine article. It's probably the best independent analysis available. "Interpart" is / was Pete Brock - BRE. This thread made me think of the Maru Z Keikaku Suishin Iinkai films and that NISSAN did aero testing of the chassis.

Datsun-240z Vs Fairlady-z432
A core is the galley by which the oil flows through. At first, I noticed a difference between the top brackets. One side mount and another top mount, as you show, Alan. But I see both side and top on the 18 core cooler, so...

Sound Deadener differences?
I used the template downloads from the site and had the same offset issue. Had to make adjustments to the template just like you illustrated. I used JEGS Quiet Ride sound / heat insulation. It doesn't have foil, though. It was the material most similar to stock. Pretty easy to install. Heat gun and a roller.

Why would anybody buy this Bring A Trailer "Display Engine"
It's meant to be display art. It's all full of bling and flash. New looking parts and plated pieces that add lots of reflection. Real zow factor - worth BIG bucks. Bid early and bid large!

Should I undercoat my car
Another good point in favor of the Raptor finish. The Raptor finish on my car has a little more texture than what SpeedRoo showed but it's close.

Should I undercoat my car
I had my car painted last year with a color tinted Raptor finish underneath. I am very satisfied. Did it for the very reasons DatsunZGuy pointed out.

Yes, I wear a medium and it fits nicely. It'll shrink up in the dryer, I'm afraid. Nice looking shirt.

The mystery of the secret Spare key box (in the frame)
You're not missing anything. Someone found a "Hide-A-Key" box on a couple of different cars and thought it was a NISSAN part; which it is not. AND in an unreachable location as 'DatsunZGuy observed.

Magazines: Perhaps the first German mention of Goertz in 1974
I think if one looks at Japanese design theory and practical trends in the late 1960's, that which would have influenced the expression of someone like Matsuo san and his colleagues, one would conclude that the S30 project was cutting edge Japanese design.

Magazines: Perhaps the first German mention of Goertz in 1974
Wilkommen auch! Your point reminds me of years back when little was known about the Vintage Z program causing me to start a conversation and collect research information. It grew to a lengthy conversation and, eventually, I wrote a dissertation about the program. I would love to talk about when the Goertz myth began and by whom. If not for entertainment! We all know it's a myth, that Goertz had little to nothing to do with the design which makes the conversation entertaining to me. Go for it! "hook-nosed aristocrat" Ha, ha, ha, - great!

Droopy sun visor
Fuzzy visors mean only one thing; you're screwed if you can't find the screw. And even if you can, you'll need a fuzzy screw driver or you'll screw the fuzz while you're screwing. I would say screw U to the fuzzy visors.

Datsun-240z Vs Fairlady-z432
Yes, I'm watching the pointy tip antenna as well. How about his $500 battery cable?! I know the seller and just sold him a few rare parts for ridiculous money. There's no shame anymore. But don't worry. Your fresh air duct is going to look great.

Datsun-240z Vs Fairlady-z432
Mind posting a link for that part? Is that for both sides or just the one? I agree with the gasket. The joint at the body duct needs to be sealed. Oh, never mind, I found it. Wowsers! Expensive
