Brand new consoles

[Millerman]

Hey guys i just thought i would share my recent experience on my journey for a centre console for my 260z 2+2. 
i have the original from the car but it was warped, cracked and had speaker holes drilled into it from previous owner. I had searched gumtree, marketplace, ebay and forums for a good secondhand one with no luck or very expensive for something that was probably going to break after a few months when installed. 
i tried looking into sites like amayama to try and find out how much a new one was and if they were available. $570 but no availability. Found a lhd console part number and gave it to my local nissan dealer. Had to wait 12 weeks from japan but just over $400 and its here and looks great. Only difference i can see is that the console lid flips open from opposite side. 
 

Part number is in the second photo if others want to shortcut the journey haha

hope this can help someone out!

Think I went this route almost 10 years ago after the run-around from motorsport auto. 

Cheers for the reminder, Going to have to order one for the current Z. 

Thanks Mick.

LHD and RHD are the same only the lid opening which can be changed around. Thats the case with mine that I got from a Nissan dealer in the US a long time ago (2011) Page 7 of my build thread.

Remember get an aftermarket choke cable so you don't end up with a cracked console again.
