Well a rather annoying twist in the tale. Installed the crank the other day after completing all pre assembly prep. Everything seemed ok bar a slight bit of clearancing needed on the girdle plate. Took everything off and found a whopper of a scratch on one of my main bearings. Annoyed doesn’t come close!
I know the block and crank were crystal clean so I can only assume that my old pot of assembly lube had become contaminated with a bit of grit or who knows what. What are the odds?!?
So, yet again, a thorough clean of block and crank before sealing away on clean bags while I await new bearings to arrive….. and a NEW bottle of assembly lube by @torcousa via @nimbusmotorsport

I've been having a look around to see if I can find any production figures for each model and year. So far I've found this link:
http://www.300zx.cl/ga/300zx/images/serial%20number%20Datsun%20Z%20Car.htm
Which im not sure if this just covers america (since it ends in 96) or if its sales figures, or production for all cars or just LHD or RHD etc.
So does anyone have any better figures?
Ive got Brian Longs book which states how many in total for each year but not at what percentage was for each model.
