cracker

Not required for proper function, was an overflow really, and only featured on early models before a revised rack was used. Just plug it, unless you want originality, in which case its worth buying a repro item.

These wheels are designed for an era of car that is about 30 or 40 years after our cars were made, and if your goal is to appear even remotely period correct you should consider staying at 15 inches at largest, so that you can fit a fatter sidewall tyre, also in keeping with a look to match the car and period.

$1400 Brand new in box. Commonly used in Datsun 240z or 260z to improve suspension performance and adjustability, or are a direct fit in a 300zx. I currently use these in my 240z and they perform brilliantly, and there are multiple members on here using them successfully on road and race cars. Retail price is around $1700. Pick up Mile End (SA) or postage at buyers expense.

Keen on this one too please Lynton.

Hi Lynton, I'll take it please - will send you a msg. James

Many 1970 and 1971 cars also had door mirrors. Depending on the state they were delivered to, local rules prevented fender mirrors in some jurisdictions (or, so I reliably hear). Also, some owners asked dealers to remove the factory fender mirror/s and install a door mirror instead.

@K-MAC Re: Design breakthrough - are these different to the version you have been selling for some time? What is the price? How does one go about buying such a thing? Is there a link to more information?

Specifics are particularly relevant for a values discussion. There have been dozens of sales in the US of well restored oem spec cars over $100k USD. There have been more than a few RHD cars sold for over $100k AUD, a mix of oem and oem+ and highly modified. Every car is different, and will be worth a different amount of money to different people.

I'd be keen if in SA

Sorry, yes, poorly explained opinion on my part - the speedholes are a bit icky but the chrome section on yours stands out more than the speedholes, imo. I would spin it the other way and say... you have spent so much money on other elements of your car, why not spend a little extra to put mirrors there that look the business AND match the car? There is no performance gain by using knock offs in the same way you save weight with carbon seats or gain power with an RB. It's also your car so as long as you are happy that is all that matters! And if you let people like me talk you into changing things they'd all look the same

Thanks for the review Michael - surely helpful for others! Why didn't you consider the cheaper repro versions that look closer to original?

The first batch was sold out months ago I think - have they offered another allocation?

I like that you pretended to consider the neighbours

I have heard before "opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one" - and especially for the sake of values.. it's easier to simply ignore everyone unless you know for a fact that they are a buyer and going to contribute to the hard stats that one craves when assessing values. It's equally silly to isolate one sale of a car that you (perhaps) haven't seen in person and don't know the true condition of. Was it solid? Or quite the opposite? Did the owner understand market value or did they under-sell it? Data should be looked at collectively, otherwise it can tell you anything you want it to.

I might be able to find another one in my barn if you ask nicely
