Compare the new bushing diameter to the old rubber bushing diameter. there's no reason they shouldn't fit., I think that all S30's use the same T/C rods. Make sure also that you read up on urethane bushings and broken T/C rods too. Many people run 1/2 rubber, 1/2 urethane.
I struck out searching for broken T/C rods and poly bushings. I've them in mine and could you write a line or two summarizing the problem and what to look for? Thank you very much. Wouldn't like a T/C rod to break zooming around the hills. Thank you!

So that's what the bracket is for; flares!
Mine had a flashlight in it when I got it 34 or so years ago.
Any pics of the actual "flare pack" that is supposed to go in it?

Good to see someone else restoring/refreshing/rebuilding another FairladyZ!
To inspire you, here's how mine ended up.
1971 FairladyZ-L

Got a set ... at $350 ... looks like they were made by the original supplier to NISSAN .. no difference from what's on the car, except a different symbol for maker.

Any ideas how/where to obtain a pair of wiper arms for the RHD early Z cars?
I need a set for Fairlady Z, 1971. RHD.
Reproductions would be fine.
As would a set off a wrecked RHD.
Thanks!

I'd like to contact them about a plate for the FairladyZ and have not been able to find a connection which worked. Correct, the car does not have a VIN cutout in the dash, nor a door pillar tag. Wonder about what stickers and decals were in the engine compartment ...

I tried that email address and it comes back as an invalid email address format.
Could you check the address again?
Thank you.

Perfect - 'blank' - replicas of the engine bay tags for Japanese market models ( including your 'S30' prefixed 1971 Fairlady Z-L ) are available from restoration shop 'REVIVE JALOPY' in Saitama, Japan.
They'll even stamp them up with your chassis number if you prove 100% that you own it....
How do I get in touch with them?
-
That's really good information; thank you!
It has the engraved number on the firewall; missing the strut tower tag.

I just went through this and I wish you luck. Do you know if you're after the series 1 or the later emblems? If you're not sure, look at your back hatch and see if you have vents(or holes for vents). The emblems are different between the series ones and the later year 240's.
No vents on the hatch. 1971 .... early Z .... the emblems are fine and correct; it's the ID plate from the strut tower on the right side of the engine compartment and the tag from the door pillar. Needs to be JDM car ....
-
The driveshaft may need to be one from a 2000 Roadster ... mine is shorter than the normal ones on the RHD FairladyZ-L, which has the factory 5-speed ....

1971 FairladyZ-L .... 2008 Portland Roadster Show Class Winner ...

I"ve restored a 1971 FairladyZ-L and am into it about .... mmmmmm .... with the paint and all, probably approaching $10,000 .... parts are VERY hard to find for RHD and especially that old. Best of luck!! I've been searching for the engine compartment ID plate for oh about 7 years without any luck. If I had known about this one ... my brother in Cambridge Ohio would have SWOOPED on the ID plate! If you decide otherwise on restoration I'd sure be interested in the ID plates.
Or a set off any 1971 RHD 240Z .... if anyone knows of one and wants to make a buck or three ....

My 1971 Fairlady Z lost all it's ID plates and tags (engine compartment ID plate, door piller tag, etc.) when it was re-painted 4 decades ago.
Could someone help me find a wrecked FairladyZ of the same vintage as this S30-nnnnn from 1971 from which the tags could be removed and sent?
Trying to restore it back to "original" and the ID tags would be very helpful.
Looked at the reproduction tags being sold and they are not correct for the S30 model ...
If someone would like to undertake the search I'd be happy to re-imburse the expense of getting them off the car and sending them to me.
Thanks!!

Z sat in garage for a couple of weeks and would not start.
No fuel flow getting to the carbs.
Replaced original mechanial fuel pump and filter and still no gas flowing.
Gas seems to flow okay from tank to filter.
Don't see any leaks.
Put new hoses on all fuel lines in engine compartment.
Lost as to what to look for next.
Could it be a problem actually in the engine? Camshaft is turning. Can't see the arm on the pump ... have to pull valve cover to check that; rather not ... but ...
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
We've been able to drive it three times this summer (battery dead cell problem, brake light problem, ignition problem, and now fuel problem ....)
Thank you!!
