UPDATE: This item has been sold meanwhile and is not for sale anymore.

Couldn’t find the part number in any system. According to some inputs N31 means RS30 so it’s most probably from an 260Z or later 280Z. As you can see it is very good shape, with all original fuses, no corrosion on the contacts or anything. If you’re interested, or if you know what car it belongs to. please let me know.

240Z: Hubcap set arrived
When i started my project, i never thought about putting things like Hubcaps on the car. I wanted it to be cool with aftermarket wheels and all. Today i’m a bit unsure which direction to go, but i have grown up and learned that the value of a car is only there when it comes with all original parts, documents, history, etc. so whenever i see original parts pop up for sale for a reasonable price. i buy them. just because of collecting reasons, or to have the car complete with all the parts, even though it’s modified. A while ago i got a set of original Datsun hubcaps but…

ATENZA: Back from repair
Shortly after i brought my car for damage repair, i got it back. I was surprized how fast those guys where. So what they had to do was fix the rear hatch door and paint it new, replace the right hand taillight and replace the complete rear bumper incl sensors. What they additionally had to do was paint both rear doors, both rear quarters, the repaired hatch and rear bumper. additionally to the roof spoiler. This is a win for me because i had the Maszdaspeed roof spoiler painted by a local paintshop and the hue was slightly off. now it fits much better! From my unprofessional point-of-view they did…

EK9: EK9: The Overhaul, pt. 3 & Hibernation
When installing the new radiator and under panel last week, i realized that some of the bolts, screws and other hardware was either missing, badly corroded, damaged or wrong. This happens with most of the cars when many people do a lot of things with them over the years. No Problem, but i thought it would be a good thing to rectify things. So i got my original japanese parts manuals out, which a bought a while ago: I love those japanese manuals. even though i don’t understand a word, it’s super easy to find the correct page and number: I contacted my Honda dealer and the next they they…

WORKSHOP: Lighting upgrade
When planning my workshop, i made a little mistake and put the light tubes in the middle of the room. This would of course cast a shadow of yourself on the workbench when standing in front of it. So basically i never really liked workin on the workbench, because that meant you work more or less in a relatively dark area. Well time to fix that 🙂 I got myself the latest version of the already installed Thorn PopPack LED Tubes (52W 6400lm 4000K 1500mm each): So up with the housings: Drilling some holes in the housings for the wiring and doing the wiring itself: And done! A little comparison.…

OTHER: Swiss 240Z in the 1995 Classic Z register Magazine
When flipping through one of the many magazines from the lot which i’ve acquired recentently recently, i stumbled upon a swiss 240Z on the cover of the 1995 Classic Z register Magazine (of UK) christmas edition: They published the story of the swiss owner Reto Tachella, who got this 1971 240Z in the 80ies very bad condition and which additionally got an electrical short circuit and cought fire only a week after purchase. he rebuilt the car and painted it in GM “middle green” (Similar to Datsun British racing green). It seems to be a bit of a strange mix of US and EU parts with the bumper overriders, the…
