 Datsun 260Z motor

A remarkable effort to remove the engine while it was running and the vehicle being driven!

 

"Bargin very cheap, Datsun 260Z motor, removed running from vehicle which was being driven and was in good condition, comes with used extractors, no carburetors, ports in head look clean similar to low klms motor, unknown how many klms,"

A lot of it is sold. It took me weeks to get access to that FB Group.... I don't think the admins spend a lot of time on admin work.

I just spammed all the admins asking to be approved and im approved with in 2 minutes :)

 

Update. PM Mark Krug ( one of the admins ) they stopped accepting members due to the large number of spammers.

 

He will approve your request.

I'd suggest that if you are chasing 240Z parts you'd better be on every Datsun sales spot there is, including Datsun Classified, TradeMe and CraigsList.
Real hardcore searchers include Japanese auction sites too.
Most will allow a custom search to notify you.
To illustrate my point, a person on the forum here just bought 4x 240Z hubcaps in perfect condition and Topy steel wheels off CraigsList for silly money.

Are you talking about me?

Nah turns out it wasn't me. I haven't even started my Topy buying spree yet. Just a coincidence I bought a mint set of D Caps last week.

Chicken and Egg isn't it? There is only enough demand to drive the price of what's left up. But once reproductions exist prices will fall.

 

In the case of early Ashtray's you can reproduction lids, but not the outer surround. Prices have remained elevated as a result. There was a reproduction ashtray I saw, but the quality looked poor compared to OEM.

 

With regard to Rally Clock's it's much cheaper to buy and restore a clock with an oscillator box than to build an oscillator box to suit. We've just done it and it's more expensive.

 

Reproduction early Tail lamps also exist and look good, but the original KOITO stamped ones still fetch Premium prices.

 

I'm just glad that reproduction parts do exist.
