Hi, I'm 21 and have recently bought a z from chch and planning on building up as a gift for my dad (as he rebuilt one years ago so any help would be greatly appreciated). It has a few things I'm not too sure about -
Hand throttle control cable,
Rally clock.
Can any one tell me about these parts and what they're used for/rareness of parts.
Cheers

Welcome. It sounds like an interesting car. Put up some pictures if you have some. Cheers, TC

This is Stumpy's old car. Earlier model Z's had a hand throttle as mentionned. I'm pretty sure this car is a Fairlady rather than a 240/260 but if it has a hand throttle then I am assuming it is a fairly early car. I believe the early clocks were called a Rally Clock - not sure if there was different names on later versions? NZEDER?
I'm frequently in Palmerston North and would be happy to call in and help identify any parts you are not sure of. Having now rebuilt 2 early model Z's I'm pretty familiar with what parts belong where. I've also got a stack of spare parts if you need anything.
You are welcome to join in any of our Wellington area events even before you get the car on the road.
