240Z: Various stuff arrived, again

I’ve been traveling a lot recently, and been dealing with life, but I still managed to collect some cool stuff:

I got hands on this cool vintage NISMO enamel sign from Japan:

And this cool Poster, which shows a works GTS-II race car. The seller says he got it from a racing shop called Iwashita racing in Shizuoka, many years ago. According to Alan, it shows SCCN works car from the first round of 1972 Fuji Grand champion series on the 20th of March, with driver Kazuyoshi Hoshino.

I also found this Dutch 1971 Datsun Advertising magazine.

Usually I don’t collect documents from other countries (there’s just too many), but this one is special, because it shows an EU-spec prototype car. If you look closely, you will see the Fender-top mounted blinker / turn signals and the Rob Janssen homemade front spoiler, which led to the development of the OEM front spoiler for European cars by Nissan.

Then I got a reproduction of the MK-1520 ZC car radio manual and a correct Swiss 1972 service / Warranty booklet for my car.

After a bit of a search, I also managed to get this cool Nissan Oil Can:

With the Elephant oil logo from the 240Z oil filler cap:

I also got gifted a Center cap from a friend. Not the correct one for my car, but who am I to turn down freebies?

I also found a set of NOS OEM FS5C71A transmission “monkey motion” shifter bushings. The original ones of mine were worn out, and I had them replaced with some red aftermarket ones, but these will definitely look better.

Then I’m constantly on the hunt for the missing tools of the Datsun / Nissan tool boards, which I acquired recently. Luckily they pop up sometimes, and recently I got a bunch of missing ones:

There are still quite a few missing, but 2/5 tool boards are complete now, and the remaining ones are filling up quickly.

I’m currently awaiting more deliveries, so expect another update soon.
