    Car identification - S30 or not?

    Bit of a discussion over on Pistonheads about whether the car two up from the MkIV Cortina is an S30 ... Some say it is - and some say it ain't ... The thread in question: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=&t=1807882

    Anyone ordering from MSA?

    And having trouble doing it? I ordered some parts about 10 days ago - the usual kerfuffle. Then you get an acknowledgement by email while they work out your shipping price. Never received one. Nothing since. I have emailed them about three times, with screenshots of the order and their 'Thanks...

    Water cooled manifolds - '72 240z

    For those with US cars of this year that had the later design with the water-cooled manifolds, have you kept that system when working on the cars over here - or blocked off the pipework - probably all bunged up with sludge anyway - and bypassed it? I have also junked the smog unit and am...

    Interior panel pic needed

    One of the rear interior panels on my car has suffered some damage and I need someone with a similar panel to ideally take a pic of their intact one so I can work out how to repair it ... Car is a '72 US import ... RHD cars may be the same, I don't know. Thanks!

    I have a pair of these ... bought from MSA in the US last year and still in the bags. When I removed my headlamp bowls the rubber seals were nigh on perfect so not needed. Here's a link to the LH one ... http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/classic03a14/34-2234 Suitable for that full...

    Track rod ends, hacked off

    No, I haven't sawn them off, I'm the one hacked off. Most of the afternoon I've been out here to replace these, and I haven't even got ONE off yet! I think I have the originals on here both sides ... The boots had gone completely so they needed replacing. The bellows were superb and full of...

    240Z on BaT in the US

    This site always has one or two every few weeks so it seems ... http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1972-datsun-240z-12/ I love this site for interesting classics, all kinds, all prices. I think this one might make the regulation $15-16k they all seem to be doing over there for a decent...

    Busted choke lever - anyone got this part?

    I made the mistake of forcing the thing instead of taking it apart first and doing a lube job ... So this little bit marked in the pic below has broken in two. The pic is from a '73 set up although mine is a '72. I'm sure they're the same. It's the bit of black plastic that holds the...
