    Hey Brad, I've had another confirmation of the types, and do believe these are "4 screw carb" only clamps - so appeared on 70-71 only. As Chassis254 has mentioned previously these are also stamped 1 & 2. I have the "2" clamp currently, which comprises a backing plate (one piece) and 2 separate "P" pieces, one slightly larger than the other. James

    No luck with the fb link Gav - what group is it in?

    Yes a royal pain in the ar*e to find! A drivers side door mirror went for over $400 on eBay recently and I haven't looked at fender mirrors for a while but I think even a second hand genuine pair will set you back $1000+

    Sorry, yes, the fender mirrors appeared on both sides, and were optional on 70-71 models in Australia. I was referring to the door mirrors, which only appeared on the drivers side, no matter the market ie. LHS only in US, RHS only in Aus/NZ/UK/etc

    I'll check what number mine is this afternoon and shoot you a PM. Cheers!

    Australian models (and all RHD models, I believe) only ever came with a drivers side door mirror, fyi. Your LHS mirrors will not fit/work correctly on the RHS but they'll get pretty close. These are photos I took when removing my factory door mounted mirror a while ago. Good luck

    Jeepers! Okay.. the plot thickens. Thanks

    Appears to be a 260z version. Sits lower under the car to allow for larger rad support frame, and doesn't have vent holes, as mentioned above.

    Looking like the best (only) option! P clamp. Cheers

    I'm sure they would do the job, but yes originality is key. Currently cable ties are actually doing the job nicely! Ha.. Thanks Justin, I'm actually not 100% on this! I'll do some research, or another member may be able to chime in with info. Cheers

    Hi All, On the hunt for one of these - pic attached. No idea what it would be worth but happy to pay of course.

    There's not really two different chassis numbers - 510 appears on the manufacturers ID plate and on the firewall so it's near certain that it's #510. Why did they attach an incorrect compliance plate? Who knows... it was done by the PO so will be lost in the annals of history. The compliance plate is riveted into the incorrect position also, so it's clearly just slapped on at some point quickly.

    A friend of mine had a look at this and decided to pass based on a poorly repaired floor section which indicated it had taken a fairly heavy hit at some point. He still thinks it's a good buy but just wasn't worth the effort for him. Otherwise it's very rust free and very original. Can't explain the incorrect compliance plate. I've uploaded all the pics to dropbox https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3wkx4tg4fnxkimm/AAAvGTwf5bgyUn-GoE-_dg-ja?dl=0

    I was hoping you'd expand on that a little further so I can ascertain whether or not my car is suitable for your needs.

    Wtb Early 240Z

    cracker replied to JDM-TOY's topic in Wanted

    Why are you interested in an early chassis but not matching numbers?
  16. cracker
    Very very very hard to say because it's linked to hours worked. I have heard around $40k from a high quality shop - more if it's really bad.

    I'm not super familiar with these wheels but they don't appear to be genuine - there shouldn't be a gap between all of the spokes? Gav or Alan may be able to confirm...

    I'll have to dig up some pics of both valve cover and alternator when I'm in front of my desktop. The in between covers are effectively the same as you imagine but with the o-ring seal like the 2400 version. Have been seeing some of the US auctions on valve covers - scary! Edit - alternator pic added - can't find valve cover pic that's appropriate though!
  19. cracker
    The valve cover I am after is from mid/late 71 so is "Nissan OHC" but has the o-ring oil cap seal. Appreciate head may be poor - but beggars can't be choosers! Lol re metal fan, but going for stock so hp is irrelevant. Those bonnets look very interesting! I'm sure one will be suitable ps. also looking for an early alternator. I'll stay tuned to the thread. edit: actually would be keen on a 2400 ohc valve cover for an early girl I'm trying to buy

    Think I may have registered interest on your other thread - but parts I'd be keen on pending unavailability locally: topy wheels (dated 2/71 or 7/71) bonnet E31 head + valve cover metal radiator fan

    Why do you want to replace it?

    If anyone is coming through Mildura en route to Adelaide... I have a gearbox in need of collection/delivery! Beer or cash for any volunteers. James

    I bought a pack of 50+ grommets of various sizes from ebay for $10 or so and there was one that fit, plus now I have a copious amount of spare grommets when required
  24. cracker
    I'll take it if Gav doesn't
  25. cracker
    I was bidding but dropped out at around $1800. That plus the road trip from Adelaide was a bit much! Seller will be pleased...
