240Z: TABCO vs Klokkerholm & other Rear quarter panels Comparison
One of the most problematic area in any 240Z restauration are the rear quarter panels. The problem is, that during the years it has most probably been repaired with cheap patches and a ton of bondo. Even the so called “rust-free” cars, since honestly most of them have rust in that area. It’s not the best design which datsun made back then and it just starts rusting. Compared to the front body panels it’s quite tricky to find a suitable solution and of course the best thing you can get is an original rear quarter panel, like i got for the left side: But it can get pretty hard to…

And thanks to the organizers for a great, relaxed and laid back show as ever! I guess this is the best Japanese show…

240Z: Transmission internals FS5C71A
While i consider the 240Z quite a common classic (compared to other cars) around the world, it can get hard to find good quality spare-parts – especially for the parts that where installed in markets outside america only. As it is the case with the 5-speed transmission (only optional and rare in the USA). And then even more specially in the case of the early FS5C71A transmission, which i happen to have. This means a lot of research and sometimes going to the other side of the world and as far as Australia to find some quality parts. I have to thank the guys at www.SWMotorsport.com.au for providing me with…
