240Z: Cool Datsun / NISMO and 240Z parts & documents arrived

Recently, I collected a lot of cool, rare or needed Datsun / Nissan parts and documents again. Let’s have a look:

First, i got gifted this lovely 510 / bluebird Die cast model from my Lovely lady Myrtha. Big thanks again!

She also brought me one of those famous green Datsun Switzerland folders. This one has all the spec-sheets of all Datsuns sold in Switzerland at that time.

The specification goes quite deep. These folders were given to dealerships and were in the HQ for a quick check and comparison of technical specifications of all cars:

So far I only had copies of the single Z-specific sheets, but now, finally, I have the missing folder in my collection. Very cool. And big thanks gain to Myrtha!

Additionally, I got various random bits and pieces from Alibaba, thanks to some tips from my man Urs.
Two different sized rubber plugs for the drum brakes (It seems that not all drums have the same hole-diameters?)

And various Nylon washers. I will try to see if one of those fits the rear hatch strut damper. Since my original washers are either broken or damaged:

My man Stefan also gave me a box of what appears to be Brass synchro gear wheels. We still have to figure out if they’d fit the Z, as they all came without part numbers or description, included in a big Datsun Parts lot.

From my Man Dan at Japanese Allstars, I got this starroad Poster. Dan is an official starroad dealer in Switzerland, and he got this during his last visit. Although I’m not a huge fan of the Starroad creations, these days, I really like the photo on this large one-page calendar:

After Months of searching, I finally found this 1994 NISMO 10th anniversary parts catalogue.

I will put it on display with my NISMO 10th anniversary collection of Accessory catalogue, sticker, steering wheel and shift knob 🙂

The cool thing is, this catalogue came with an invitation flyer o the NISMO 1995 New year’s garage sale at Nissan KN’s factory:

And even better, a two-page flyer invitation to the founding of the NISMO “club Le Mans”. You can read more about that on the official NISMO page.

And last but not least, I found this original printed Datsun 240-Z one-page flyer from Datsun Italy. Something very rare, which I’ve never seen before. Generally, 240Z information from Italy is very sparse, so I had to get it, when it came up for sale:

I had some physical work done on some Z-parts too, so I will post another update of a little project soon, too.
