Car looks amazing! That is one well-preserved car. Congratulations! Take care of that rust as soon as possible.

This was always one of my favorite parts on my 240s, the little light that comes off and has a few feet of wiring as an extension cord.

I’d forgotten they mounted the AFM sideways. Most Japanese cars ended up putting them horizontal for better damping of the wiper arm getting more consistent fueling.

Looks pretty clean but I’d get an old garden sprayer and a gallon or two of fluid film and go to town spraying every crack and crevice.

She's a beauty! However, since we can't leave things alone, and I like to spend other people's money. lol.

Whoa, really, really clean. Congrats to the OP!

Datsun fans have a forum similar to Pelican where knowledge is shared....ZCar.com, I have about as many posts over there, as I do here.

I can't stop clicking on this thread :)

NICE! And excellent call on the plates.

Congratulations riverstonefly! I am so happy for you and looks at home next to your Air Kuhl!

That's a nice, original 280z...just leave it. Don't mess with it, not many original ones left that haven't been 'back dated', or messed with. Find a poorer example to mess with if you want to play.

My 240 ... still around after 35 years.
