Steve, I found it, tucked away as an option. "F471A used with 3.364 ratio
differential" !!\
Thanks for that.

My reply to Errol's post didn't come through for some reason, so....

>Funny but your right ,,I had a look too,I always thought for some reason
the

My factory parts S30 fiche, Powertrain section, shows the F4W71A
4speed GB as 'op' (ie optional) for Oz spec 240Z's...

>Well the Z is probley the only datsun pre 1970 that did have a 5 speed.

It is 'generally' accepted that 240Z's were not available in
Australia prior to 1970.  That is, there is really no such thing as a
1969 RHD Oz spec 240Z, even tho you see some advertised as such.
Certain individuals in the NDSOC spent a lot of time and effort
trying to prove that '1969' 240Z's made it to Australia, mainly so
that they could compete in certain race classes (Group Sb, I think).
In the end, it could not be proved that such RHD cars existed, even
tho there is no doubt that approx 500 LHD 240Z's made it to the US in
1969.  It didn't help the cause that RHD car #3 (or is it #2 ??)
which is in pristine condition here in Vic was actually first
registered in 1970....(or so I'm told).
