d3c0y Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hey there guys, Anyone have a 5 piece g-nose they are willing to part with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators gav240z Posted October 21, 2014 Administrators Share Posted October 21, 2014 I see these on Yahoo! Auctions from time to time (Genuine OEM ones) but they are expensive and not always in great shape. 200,000 YEN + That's if you're looking for genuine. Otherwise I think there is a chap in Japan who replicates these for owners of original HS30-H cars - because Nissan hasn't made them or provided NOS for years. More good info in this thread. http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php/topic,12491.15.html As HS30-H has mentioned: Marugen Shokai in Hokkaido, Japan make the best replica's. Fun fact of the day: The original was made by a company called: Kotobuki which were the same people who made the center consoles in the early S30z's Of course if you're going to stick it on a race car, then any old aftermarket part will do I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3c0y Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Getting one from Japan is extremely expensive, the post is a killer. I wouldn't want a genuine one because they are way too expensive and 40 years old now and too heavy. Thanks for the thread i have read it previously. I was hoping someone had one lying around they weren't going to use. Car is currently in the panel shop so now is the time to make the commitment!

Riceburner Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Otomoto has them for sale in Sydney. They are very nice quality and come with all the mounting hardware which will make installation much easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I believe Freddy at topstage has one left he wants to get rid of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3c0y Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 I haven't heard a positive review of the top stage g-nose to date to be honest and it has that 240z badge molded into it so I don't really consider it an option. I was looking at the Otomoto one and at this stage is the best option, its just so damn expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators gav240z Posted October 22, 2014 Administrators Share Posted October 22, 2014 I wonder if that burgundy car is actually sporting that Aerodesu 240ZG nose? http://www.otomoto.com.au/p/4612851/aerodesu-datsun-240z-g-nose-5-piece.html It does look the goods. To be honest I think that is actually a good price. Will you run the flares and headlight chrome covers with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3c0y Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Aero-desu is Restored brand from Japan. Yes i'm looking at doing a full HS-30H replica kit complete with headlight covers if i get it. Reproduction headlight covers are pretty gnarly at $800 a pair by the time you get them delivered!! I just want to do something a little different to the usual flares, wats and kameari front by throwing in the G-nose and a type B lip.

I like that look, the Gnose when done right looks superb especially with the type B lip on there. I've been contemplating fitted the ZG kit to my red 240z in Melbourne but still don't think I can hack the guards up for the flares. Perhaps I need a 3rd S30z ? Have you decided on a colour? Looking forward to updates if you go this route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3c0y Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 So you aren't going to read my updates if i don't do it? Silver / Orange / Maroon are the candidates so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
