24Ozed Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Howdy all, Looking to see if anyone has a fairlady grille they will part ways with. The mesh style front grille to suit the 240z . Inbox me if you can ! Cheers Travis Quote
dat240z Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 I think you will struggle as they are fairly rare and appealing... I saw one (432 style) on Ebay USA and in Japan Yahoo auctions Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted July 11, 2013 Administrators Posted July 11, 2013 How much are you looking to spend on 1? I might be able to help source 1 for you, but it's not cheap we're talking $500+ Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted July 11, 2013 Administrators Posted July 11, 2013 The 1 on eBay is a good price. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/DATSUN-FAIRLADY-Z-240Z-260Z-280Z-FRONT-GRILLE-GRILL-OEM-JDM-/161062212891 Quote
NZeder Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 The 1 on eBay is a good price. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/DATSUN-FAIRLADY-Z-240Z-260Z-280Z-FRONT-GRILLE-GRILL-OEM-JDM-/161062212891 I have purchased from that seller before - no issues at all. I have seen many of these here in NZ - I have one in the race car. A lot of the JDM imported 2L powered Fairlady ZL that were imported into NZ have them. Quote
24Ozed Posted July 11, 2013 Author Posted July 11, 2013 Thanks guys, Gav - I've seen this fella on EBay sell them before. I wondered how he gets so many of them.. I was hoping to get one a bit cheaper, but it sounds like thats a good price. If anyone else has one let me know, otherwise i'll have to decide on this one pretty quickly Cheers Quote
24Ozed Posted July 11, 2013 Author Posted July 11, 2013 oh yeah.. just realised i bought my fender mirrors off this guy. Had no problems then, so no issues with seller. Quote
Scoota G Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 It doesn't look like a hard grille to reproduce. I made something similar for my V8 Zed, only took a few hours. Quote
thriller Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 I've been talking to a shop in Japan who've got one lying around. I'm bringing in a few parts for my 260 through them, so will be buying all that in about a month. They have one for 8,000Y, but it's pretty beat up. Here's a photo. Could probably source a better one for about $150. But obviously that's before shipping,. The $250 one on eBay is a decent price for that condition once you factor in shipping cost and waiting time, as you'd have to wait a few months for one from Japan. http://oi44.tinypic.com/2rcnyqa.jpg Quote
Retro Z Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 I'll have to dig up the link, but there was a guy on HybridZ forum who reproduced and sold to the public very high quality almost exact replicas for like $200. Quote

24Ozed Posted July 13, 2013 Author Posted July 13, 2013 Looks like i only just missed out on the last one available from Hybrid Z. Thanks for your help guys ! Quote
