Administrators gav240z Posted January 3, 2016 Administrators Posted January 3, 2016 There have been a couple of limited production projects to fully replicate some of the MACH and CHECKMAN steering wheels, and the product was pretty damned good. Prices were - ahem - 'reassuringly expensive'. For some reason the figure of 200,000 JPY or so comes to mind, but I'd have to check. I have photos somewhere too... Hi Alan, Just found this website. http://www.rsmach.net/steering/steering01.html It seems like they sell good looking replica MACH wheels. Is this the company you were referring to earlier? The only thing they seem to be missing is genuine patina. Once you add up all the components it looks like it will still cost over $1000 AU. Quote

Administrators gav240z Posted January 3, 2016 Administrators Posted January 3, 2016 Are these the same type? http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/cloverdale/other-parts-accessories/-rare-opportunity-vintage-retro-gt-bucket-seats-pair-/1099278518 Since I've been looking at CHECKMAN steering wheels, and 432-R stuff I found a couple of links you may like. You can see Ikeda Bussan seats in this PS30-SB. http://www.classiczcars.com/topic/34335-what-about-the-z432-r/?do=findComment&comment=306321 Along with the MACH steering wheel. You can also see this 240ZR has the same seats. (I'm guessing it's a CHECKMAN style steering wheel). http://www.classiczcars.com/gallery/image/2485-240zr-replica-interior/?browse=1 Here you can see another 240ZR with the Datsun Bucket seat and what appears to be a CHECKMAN or MACH style wheel. http://www.classiczcars.com/gallery/image/2486-works-240zr-dash/?browse=1 Guess who took those photos by the way? Enjoy. Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted January 11, 2016 Administrators Posted January 11, 2016 So this appeared on Yahoo! Auctions and was subsequently removed just as quick as it appeared. I was watching it, it had 1 bid at 100,000 yen but was ended. After missing out on the replica I was kind of disappointed and thought the legit/original item would be a good score, especially with a bit of patina to it. http://page5.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/e176815775 Attached photos for future reference.

gilltech Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Ouch! As if anyone is going to know what it is anyway. Maybe if you had the rest of one of his cars... Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted January 22, 2016 Administrators Posted January 22, 2016 If you look at the negative feedback for that seller you'll see it was for a make an offer on that valve cover that was apparently accepted then rejected. It doesn't say the price. The US Bob Sharp is a big deal.. Quote
manya3084 Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Rebuild the whole motor with change....or by a rocker cover.... Quote
Moderators PB260Z Posted January 24, 2016 Moderators Posted January 24, 2016 Rebuild the whole motor with change....or by a rocker cover.... May seem crazy but I suppose it all comes down to budget and priorities. Some would say having $20,000 or more tied up in project or weekend car is also crazy. To each their own. Quote

d3c0y Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Have you tried genuine under 280Z from the states? Quote
Moderators PB260Z Posted January 30, 2016 Moderators Posted January 30, 2016 Have you tried genuine under 280Z from the states? Yeah, I tied MSA. They could only supply 2 seater 1/4 panel badges. I ended up tidying up and using silicone to attached the ones I had. Would be interested in new 2+2 if you know a supplier. Cheers PB Quote

Can't imagine there would be enough demand for this part to justify making replicas. Quote
