240Z: Transmission finally open, NOS rear quarter Panel, 1973 Service Bulletins
Some exciting news! First i was able to finally open up the FS5W71C 5-speed Transmission. Turns out the reason i wasn’t able to open it earlier was because had removed the wrong locking spring *lol*. Small part – big problem.
This is the one to remove on the main shaft bearing, not the small one in front of the bearing 🙂
Finally disasembled and ready for checking.
My unprofessional first check revealed that it’s in quite good condition and no need for a big rebuild, but i will have a professional look over it and definitly will replace a few wear-parts anyway and have the housing repainted.
Even better news – I was able to source a complete NOS (New Old stock!) Rear quarter panel from the Z. It’s the US-edition with the cutout for the rear sidemarkers but otherwise exactly what i need. Man i’ve never seen something like this for sale in the last years and it was a reasonable price too!!
It already arrived at my export agent and will be loaded onto the next sea-freight container to switzerland soon – should arrive here in about 6 weeks 🙂
And then i bought this so i have a bit of extra reference and documents probably 50% of the bulletins are about the S30 chassis or L2x Motors 😉

Good score on the 1/4 panel, I was looking to buy it also. But I really need a driver side (RHD) not the passenger (LHD) side. Still it was well priced for an early S30Z rear quarter panel. Especially NOS.

Indeed it was a great Price and i managed to get cheap shipping to with a Company near the seller shipping Containers to switzerland twice a month 🙂 I would meed the Drivers side more than the passenger side too but still it will save my bodyshop from a lot of working hours and me a lot of Money 🙂

Hello Nils
This Paper was written for the Original owner of this paper (the handwritten name you took at least off on top of the first page).
He did not publish it but gave the original to me.
I made a pdf and gave it to you without asking him if i am allowd to. (I have to live with that.)
But publishing it and putt your www. JDMJunkies . ch on it without asking me is wrong!
I can not allow you to keep it online without the permission of the original owner.
Thanks
