I just checked mine on my '70 and three of them are M4 x 0.7mm with a Phillips head and strangely one is a No. 8-32UNC with a slotted head. Mike Just an update, when I reinstalled the screws the M4 x 0.7mm did feel like a better fit.

Welcome to the club, nice to see another early car staying mostly stock or with only period mods. I enjoy almost all zeds from stock to heavily modifed, but as stock as possible is my main passion. Please post some before, during & after pics of your floor restore, I may do the same soon. I'm only about an hour up the valley from you and may be interested in hearing who is doing your floor work. Mike

Not all provinces in Canada require two license plates. Here in BC two are required but in neighboring Alberta only one plate is required. In BC we have a collector plate program (still two plates), where if a vehicle is 25 or more years old and verified to be fully stock, or restored to stock and is good condition it can qulaify for this program. The benefits are a unique set of plates, very low insurance rates, full pleasure only driving priledges, & only one set of plates/insurance is required for all qualifying collector cars in your fleet. I have had these plates since 1995, the other benefit is that collector plated cars are exempt from annual emissions testing. Mike

My 1970, number 6521, has the #1 style hood and has a production date of July '70, it was delivered to Vancouver BC, Canada. I have owned the car since 1978 & to the best of my knowledge it is the original hood. Mike

My orginal owners manual from 6521 build date 7/70 has the same front & back cover as "a7dZ" but the issue date is 20 March 70. Later S/N & build date but an earlier manual issue date. Mike

Here's a scan from my 1970 240Z owners manual describing tach operation. I really like the part about normal driving being "in" the yellow sector (6500 to 7000 rpm). As for driving with the tach in the red zone, what would you call "unless otherwise really necessary"???

Another surviving GT2000. I guess I have always been a bit of a collector. I got this one for Christmas in the late '60s when I was 8 or 9. I think the movie came out in 1967.

The only thing that my daily driver and my Z have in common is that they are both orange and Japanese, oh yea and they both get a lot of looks. I just had my '88 Suzuki Samurai painted 350Z orange a couple of weeks ago. Here are a couple of pics of both at a local show n shine last weekend.

I also should have bought spares of common interior parts. My best score was buying a new set of four first year 'D' logo hubcaps for the outrageous price of $35.00 each. Definitely should have bought more. They are still in almost mint condition today.

My '70 Series I also reads: " NISSAN 2400 OHC "

Series 1 240z's did have one key for the ignition & one for the doors & hatch. I am still looking for reasonably priced key blanks as well.

The spare in my 7/70 is what I believe to be an original OEM. It is a Bridgestone and is in similar condition with same tread as 7T1240 and it is a 175-SR14. There is small number "K7001" would that be the date code?

Sounds good, and good luck with the repair. Regards Mike

Good idea. ddezso are you willing to give up (sell) your old switch parts if they will make mine work? if yes I will post pics showing what's wrong with mine.

I am also in need of the early unlit defroster switch for my 7'70. I was able to disassemble my switch but found that the small black pin on the underside of the rocker was broken off, so I don't thick it is fixable.

My 7'70 has similar items to Doug N's '72. Passenger side: jack, two orange (non folding) tire blocks. Driver's side: black toolkit containing lug wrench and the two red bars used to operate the jack. Pics attached.
