I received an update on the progress on the restoration from Les today. He said that the car is stripped and ready for the stripping and body work to begin. He is gathering all of the suspension parts for powder coat and building a correct late model B box 4 speed transmission. He is getting ready to detail the engine, (no need for rebuild it is fresh). He was asking if I wanted the smog equipment put back on the car. I have mixed feeling on that, please share you thoughts. We are talking about coating the bottom of the car with a product similar to that used by Mercedes and then color matching it to the car. Not stock but I believe it will be an improvement. He promises photos soon, can’t wait!!! I will share them as soon as I get them.

I was wanting to hear from others who have dealt with Carl at New Datsun Parts. I would like to here about your experience and how your transaction went. Including shipping, quality of parts and service. Thanks Jerry

CIA Tracking device? or could be FBI.

Check with Les Cannaday at Classic Datsun Motorsports, If he does not have it he can tell you who does. JLP Here is a link to his site: http://classicdatsun.com/

Will, and all others which have found this thread interesting, I should be getting some pictures from Les soon. As the car progresses through the restoration I will keep all up to date on this thread and try to fill in some of the blanks of the "missing 30 years" in the odyssey of my 1972 Z.

How about the chase scenes in "The French Connection".

I have a 70 parts car. I know that the right hinges are good have not checked out the left. If you need them you are welcome to them, just pay shipping. JLP

Yikes!:tapemouth

I have searched past threads and did not find any info on radio schematics. I need the schematic for the Hitachi AM auto search radio. Model #TM-1081ZB I have already checked with Howard Sams Photo Fact with not luck. Does anyone have any suggestions? Jerry

Will need more information, check out prone rust areas; Floor pans, rear rocker panels, inside of rear fenders, rear quarters, frame rails etc... With that information if you can get Carl Beck to weigh in on the value he is a good source. You might want to email him, be sure you have all your history and current condition as well as photos in order. Jerry When you think you have a price in mind, let me know. I am looking for car for a father and son lite restore project. Jerry Purcell You can email me more pictures at; jerrypurcell@verizon.net

Could it be the E.G.I. Sub Harness # 24079-N4203?

Dan, The body hole where the grommet goes measures .970" or just under an inch. Hope this helps. The grommet pictured came from a 1970, vin# approximately 7500. Jerry

I removed this one from my parts car and took the photo hope it helps. Jerry

Is it the original Datsun AM FM radio? Jerry

Have you replaced the cross member? Not that it is the problem but I would still replace it. I may have one laying around, if I do and you want it you just pay shipping and it's yours. Let me know. Jerry

Welcom and Happy Holidays! I have found that there is a wealth of knowledge at this site. Good luck with your project be sure to post progress reports on your 71 project. Jerry

Tony, Are these the cars and parts from Kentucky? Just wondering the owner made me a great offer. I was getting ready to take my 72 to California and didn't even have time go take a look.:stupid: If this is the same deal I will kick myself.:hurt:

I had sets of the HS30 Labels made up also. I was not aware of the early HLS30 having the HS30 panel. jlp

Welcome, you will love this site. There is a lot of collective knowledge here so post your problem and you will get feedback in short order.

Welcome Danny! You will love this site!!!!!

I was in contact with the seller he said the car has rust at the rear of the rockers and some metal pop riveted over some other areas by previous owner. He has said he would take less than the $3000 in the area of $2500. I’m just to far away to check it out and make a move to purchase.

What can be said, other than Beautiful Job!:squareeye

The number 36 indicates that the Z car is the 36th, (first edition), new car (not variation) out of 38, (first editions), new cars to be released for 2006. Variations create an additional market for collectors to have to buy the same car to complete a set of 2006 first editions. My youngest son was into collecting them for a couple of years starting back in 1998. Thank goodness that didn't last but a couple of years. Then there are series cars, each series consisting of 4 cars and a series released each month (48 cars). Then there are past years first editions painted in different schemes each year. The regular hotwheel collectors are fanatics! I could tell you some stories about the hotwheel fanatics, but they are so crazy you wouldn't believe them.:hurt:

This is below low. Just a suggestion, get a hold of your friends toothpaste and inject xylacine (not sure of spelling) into the end of the tube. Then after he brushes his teeth and his face starts going numb convince him he is having a stroke. It works we have used it at the fire station. Next, if you can get into his attic just above his the head of his bed put a empty plastic container with a small (coffee stir) straw through the ceiling into the container about an inch above the bottom of the container sealed with wax where it comes trough the container. In the evening fill the container with ice. In the middle of the night the ice will melt and when the water gets high enough to break the vacuum in the straw it will rain down cold water on his head. :devious: (another fire station prank)

For those :cheeky: crazy hotwheel collectors the yellow one is called a variation. There was one on ebay last night bringing $27.00 +. They (hotwheel collectors) believe that variations are accidents. Right!!!
