240Z: NISMO fuel pump + Japanese Service bulletin arrived
Recently i went shopping a bit in japan again and the first delivery arrived today: It consists of two pieces: the first one is a NISMO generic purpose electric fuel pump: I’m not sure if this will end up in the Z, but since i stumbled over it while shopping i thought i better secure one of those, as long as they’re still available: Here are some specs from the NISMO racing parts catalogue: The second interesting thing i found was a Japanese “change of service provedure” manual. In my opinion it’s basically the japanese version of the “technical bulletins” that were vailable in all kind of variants both as…

EK9: Spare Seat & Japanese EK9 recaro repair shop found
Recently a Friend of mine pointed me towards a facebook ad for an EK9 recaro seat in switzerland with a fair price. I was a bit sceptic and probably wouldn’t have checked out after a 3hour drive only. Luckily i was in that area anyway and thought i’d give it a look. and long story short. I have a Spare EK9 OEM recaro. As you would expect it has several wear and tear problems, the common problems with the OEM Recaros, but otherwise it’s in good shape: And aside from the seat rail and the missing bottom net (which i have NOS spare’s in stock) it’s complete: I’m not sure…

240Z / HISTORY: Datsun Switzerland & Jeff turner memorabilia
A while ago i got in contact with an super friendly elderly lady who used to own a Body- and Paint shop on the Premises of Datsun (Suisse) SA in Urdorf. The company was not related to DSSA, but they worked closely together. She handled warranty repairs for DSSA and worked on special cases for them. For example did she install the first 240Z spoilers and mirror after the cars arrived from Japan. She also got invited to some of their company events and therefore has loads of stories and memorabilia. We talk every now and then, and out of the blue i got a box in my mail yesterday.…

240Z: OEM Competition Adjustable suspension & Rollbar
Today i got a long-awaited delivery from Japan. it constisted of three parts: 1) An OEM Adjustable factory competition suspension by KYB. I still need to investigate a bit. I’m not even 100% sure if this was intended for this specific version of car, and i know there were many different versions of adjustable suspension around. Especially this part (I assume it’s to adjust the push / pull pressure rate?), ius not seen on all of these adjustable suspensions. As you can see it’s not in the best, but restorable condition and one spring is missing, so i got it quite cheap. that’s the reason i bought it. Mainly to…

EVENT: Cars & Coffee Gossau
This weekend my Wife was off so i decided to enjoy the ending summer by taking out my EK9 for a spirited drive. However i wanted to have some sort of goal in mind to not just drive around pointlessly, so when the “Cars and coffee” event in Gossau popped up in facebook, i thought that makes a nice one-hour ride each way and i chose a slightly longer route through the countryside rather than boring Autobahn. I arrived at roughly one o’ clock in the afternoon, when it was already in full swing, so i got to park slightly off-site of the main grouping of cars, but i didn’t…
