240Z: Rarities from Japan and other stuff

So, I collected and got gifted a lot of cool stuff again over the recent weeks, and I have more updates coming in the next days …

First, I finally got a set of good reproduction Carb insulators for the Mikuni 44 PHH’s thanks to my man Glenn who helped me with those!

He was also kind enough to put a few nice freebies, like the 2026 JCCS calendar and a BRE fan into the box. Thanks mate!

I also got an original admission ticket from the 1969 Tokyo Motor show, where the S30 was shown first. This will go nicely into a frame next to the S30.world museum opening ticket:

From my man Ian, I got a very nice Kobe Sieko sticker reproduction, based on an original Sticker design. Thanks a lot, buddy – I love it!

I recently got laid off and my former employees were kind enough to give me a few thoughtful gifts for goodbye, including a Rally car die-cast, a Datsun flag and this beautiful card which one of my former team-members drew.

From my man Stefan, I got some cool NOS bits in exchange for some other items: a few relays, gaskets, steering coupler and drum brake parts:

This also included a set of Mystery relays which have a Su-I-Su (= Suisse = Switzerland) Stamp on it. We’re both very keen to figure out what it is for. Most probably not S30 related but cool nonetheless!

Now to the stuff from Japan: I Sourced some cool vintage stickers, magnets and a Checkman horn button:

And a bit of a special Clay model, which I’ve been tracking and hunting since 2019. I will post about this tomorrow in a separate story.

And the probably rarest item: an original, NOS Group 4 racing overfender:

The former owner in Japan was a trustworthy source and the price was more than fair, so I had to get it.

Alan confirmed that the Fabric and Part-number writing look correct for a factory part, so it seems to be a legit item.
I had to put it on my car just for fun’s sake:

You might have realized that I’ve put it the wrong way around and on the wrong side of the car, as it first didn’t make a lot of sense to me the other way around, but the FIA Homologation clearly showed me that I was wrong, and that cutout was for the G-nose front bumper.
