  1. A similar (if not the same) tool kit was included with the International Harvester Scout offered with the Nissan SD33 and SD33T engine offering. IH used SAE in the assembly of the chassis/body, so owners/mechanics were accustomed to owing SAE tools. The Nissan SD33 and SD33T engine, using metric fasteners, presented a unique challenge to owners/mechanics, who may not have ready access to proper fitting tools. Keith
  2. Same with the my manual: Keith
  3. My three (3) letter stampings Keith
  4. Cliff, So to clarify, your 06/72 has the bottom style? Thanks, Keith
  5. Kats, I had to edit the descriptors to better represent the position of the tips. So to clarify, your 01/10 has the top style, your 06/72 has the bottom style? Thanks, Keith
  6. I have two different style wheel wrenches, both fitting the stock Series 1 lug nut. As you can see, the primary difference is the position of angle tip, one parallel (top) one perpendicular (bottom), to the handle. Most 240Zs appear to have the bottom style. Does anyone know the model year application to both top and bottom styles? Thanks, Keith
  7. Unfortunately or fortunately, Datsuns S30s attract a wide variety of owners. Some owner’s maintenance/repair budget is designed to just keep the vehicle on the road. Therefore they want the “cheapest” part available that is easily accessible….just a mouse click away on many websites. Some owners are interested in long term value of their vehicle and will “invest” in quality parts. This requires customer research on the quality and availability (we will probably face supply change issues at least until 2023) of a part. The parts market must try to balance both demands. Quality parts at a “fair” price are available, often requiring buyer research, ordering and returning mislabeled parts, and delays in project completion. I find it interesting that a potential Datsun S30 restoration buyer will research an auction listing, ask questions of the seller regarding type of paint and ask for photos of the restoration process and never ask for information about the parts (and materials and supplies) used. The recent 1971 Datsun 240Z Series I sale (https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1971-datsun-240z-209/) by CW240Z72 is a great example of providing a buyer a list of parts used in the rebuild. With the early S30s values exceeding $60k+ owners of these vehicles should demand quality parts and (most importantly) be willing to pay the price. Keith

  17. Zed Head, Did you just edit your original post image? Keith
  18. Zed Head, Per CPM (https://www.carpartsmanual.com/datsun/Z-1969-1978/brake/brake-master-cylinder/from-sep-71) the post 08-1971 is below. Note the positioning of the forward most reservoir is behind (in reference to the front of the vehicle) of "R" line connection The Page BR-3 and -27 show the forward most reservoir is forward (in reference to the front of the vehicle) of "R" line connection
  19. Please help me identify the exhaust pipe shield in the attached photos. (I do not know if it is even for a Datsun Z!!!) I obtained several used parts from a foreign car repair center several years ago. The owner could not verify the application for the exhaust pipe shield. Thanks, Keith
  20. Please help me identify the brake master cylinder in the attached photos. (I believe the brake master cylinder is for the 1969-8/1971 240Z part number 46010-E4602.) I obtained several NOS parts from a foreign car repair center several years ago. The owner could not verify the part number of the BMC. Thanks, Keith
  21. Original Z owner....very impressive. I've only owned mine for 35 years. Keith
  22. psdenno, Thank you so much. I am trying to remount the blower fan under the heater core and am not certain the attachment point of the left side blower fan mount. ara5.pdf is not legible to the mounting point. Do you have any photos of the mounting? Thanks, Keith
  23. Does anyone have a pdf the complete 240Z ARA air conditioning installation instructions? (Sadly, I found only Page 1 on the internet.) Thanks, Keith
  24. Please help me identify the bottom spare tire hold down in the attached photos. (I believe the top spare tire hold down is for the 240Z.) Thanks, Keith
