240z or 260z 2 seater prices

[zedevan]

yeah the only issue gav is i'm after black ones, i emailed him about postage and it was only around $20-30US anyways. i was considering buying some still and painting/powder coating them but seems like a waste...so then i thought leave them chrome and then if i dont like them then i could always paint htem...but i'm 99% sure i want black ones, u get my email about what numbers ur koni's r?

[gav240z]

I think I will buy a set of the fender mirrors off him. Since I'm after chrome ones and these are brand new .

 

I've seen a few black ones on Ebay from time to time, however second hand ones make me worry that you won't have all the neccessary hardware.

 

I got your email about the Koni's did you get my reply? I sent you the part numbers which from memory was the same as the ones you quoted in your email. If you like I'll send it again.

That's correct series 1 240z's ended at the end of 71.

 

My 240z is an early 72 and does not have them.

 

mines 2/72 and it didi seem wierd having the vent on the hatch. then again not minding them anyway i rang my guys at nissan to ask for the grills that go on top of the holes and yes u can get them for $40 each. than i asked them how come does 72 model have should be only up to 71.

 

they replied that their listing for this part ends till 3/73.so what tha??

 

y did some come with that and some dont? was it a factory option or something. it still has side vent by the way. i thought maybe in its youngerdays was smacked and tailgate replaced with older model but dont think its the case no evidence of rear damage at all on the car.

 

by the way u guys would be suprised what still available for the 240z from ur nissan

 

bonnet brand new $570 that aint bad for a car that over 36 yrs old and still have parts for it. got to love the nissans :twisted:

 

i have ordered heap of stuff for my 240z ,badges, mirrors (still availavble both sides but are pricey),new service manual for the 240z,and few other bits and pieces. pricing well some parts come close what sh ebay items go. but these are brand new and worth the xtra $10 to $20

 

i wonder if holden or ford have genuine parts for their 36yr olds. u be lucky to find parts for the 15yr olds.

I believe that you can still get parts for the Model-T Ford.

[PZG302]

Some bits are no longer avilable, or at least very hard to hard to get for Ford models as recent as the AU

yeah what part was it sump bolt or some washer?

 

i couldnt get 6 yrs ago a ford capri convertible 94 model front 1/4 glass.the car was only 6 yrs old. when i found the glass (which took 5months) the car was sold straight away.

 

ive also asked for some eb parts and not longer available and it was a center console vent. i love fords but they spare parts suck.

 

and someone also mention that some AU parts hard to find what tha thats car is previous model to the current shape.

 

still think nissan has best spare parts inventory and availability of any other manufacturer.and they also support import and overseas models.

 

i wonder if u can get some parts for the old mustang or thunderbird or even the new models from local ford.or corvette from holdens.

 

Nissan mate simply the best

I've been a Datsun/Nissan fan all my life (only non-nissan car I've owned is my wife's Mazda SP20). In my youth I spent some time in a vintage/veteran car club and was amazed that you could still get parts for those cars

 

I've already utilized the readily available parts for the Z (imported a bonnet and badges, etc). Just a shame that more things like lights, etc aren't available.

 

Whoa, just noticed that the conversation has gone from whole car pricing to parts availability Love the way conversations morph

hehehe i love defending nissans damn got carried away.

 

how did number 60 go with its 20k tag.

 

i got mine for 1.8k 72 #1860 and it has lot less rust than number 60.

good luck in sale though bring our cars up a fair bit.
