Hiroshima Screama

[RB30X]

So what type if damage are you talking here? Panel damage or paint damage?

[Stivva]

Finally got it all sorted out. Its going in for the respray now and I want to buy a few parts before it does.

 

Now, are the TOPSTAGE flares all that and a bag of potato chips? Because I need to replace my flares and I don't want shit ones.

Should I colour code the flares and spoiler?

Should I keep it Stain or go Gloss???

 

Three questions I need a good answer for.

[Rat1314]

Keep the paint the same, your car pulls it off so well. As for the other two questions I have no idea

[Stivva]

Also, does anyone with quality Black carpet want to trade for my beige colour carpet?

Its a great contrast and looks great but, I want to revert to stock interior.

[Brabham]

My vote goes to gloss paint

[Agno]

Id say gloss... Purely because you probably don't want to have to get it painted again should you acquire some new "parallel pinstripes"

[DreamZproject]

Hey Stivva, can you give me any more information about the colour of paint

you have? I've gone in to nissan to ask about the colour, and they are about

as helpful as a one legged man in an ass kicking contest....

[Retro Z]

Its 40th anniversary Gunmetal Grey (KAV) off Nissan 370z with satin clearcoat. And gloss black for accents.

 

Quoted on page 11 of this very thread

[DreamZproject]

yeah, thats what i told them, but they still had no idea... they said

that its probably called a different colour here in Australia... I dont

know, maybe they just couldn't be farked...

[Retro Z]

Dont bother going to Nissan for paint..they wont be interested.

 

Just go to any decent paint shop and they will mix up the (KAV) for you and then purchase a satin clearcoat or a flattening agent you can add to regular clear. Some paint shops can also mix up paint as a single stage 'straight out of the gun' satin.but i wouldnt recommend it

[Stivva]

Things I bought today!

 

Genuine New 280z console with lid

Genuine New Gear boot

Genuine New Gear Knob

Topstage Flares

 

Does anybody know where I can get new Diamond Vinyl for the trans tunnel, I just want raw material, I can cut the shape myself.

[saxon]

Thezstore has it already cut. I bought the 240z cut cause of the diamond shape, even though I have a 260. Was close enough.

[saxon]

If I was to do it again, I'd get real stitching and foam backing to make it pop, something like this....

I might actually switch over at some point.

Genuine New 280z console with lid

 

 

Mines buggered, mine sharing where you found yours??!!!

Whittie, check the link above. $200 delivered.

 

Thanks for that link Saxon, thats exactly what I need.

[handsandwhich]

Cheap freight for such a large fragile item.

 

I assume the lid opens the 'wrong' way and you need to re-hinge it the 'right' way?

[saxon]

No worries Stivva.

 

I got one too that hinges this way. Would hardly be worth rehinging it. There are oem ones for RHD that hinge the right way I've seen but at more than double the cost. Not worth it I thought.

[Stivva]

Yeah, apparently Aus Post have been kicking up a stink because they are fielding the extra postage costs from America/Australia's international parcels.

So If US Post costs $30 to cover US to Delivery but it costs AUS post an extra $30 from the airport to the address, Aus Post have to pay the difference. We might see a change of operations soon for large international parcels.

 

As for the hinge, I will leave it, unless its a straight swap. It doesn't bother me which way it opens.

[Stivva]

I agree Saxon, I only want it for the neatness really, not to use.

[Whittie]

Just satisfied my daily shopping urge, thanks for the link

 

Not fussed about the hinge. I use the console for a pen and wallet/phone, but the lid is not all that tall so I don't really mind, it's just to look better than my horrendously cracked and butchered copy.

[Stivva]

I agree wholeheartedly. I also have some other links for those wishing to improve their consoles and interiors.

He combines postage too. The two items were $80 including postage.

 

 

Now if only I could find some unbutchered door trims.

[Stivva]

Anyone know anything about these?

Looks very 90's Toyota  Camry. I have seen one that looks more retro and has all the USB stuff

[Stivva]

I was under the impression that perhaps I could remove the faceplate?

They look great though, what one is closest to original?
