Wanted: rubber gear stick dust excluder thingy.

[speedyblue]

I am chasing the rubber boot/dust excluder that goes over the gearstick and screws to the gearbox tunnel to keep dirt and water out of the car.

It is for a 73 240z so I am after the ovalish one for the later 240Z's and the 260Z's, not the early 240Z ones which were rectangular.

Brisbane or Gold coast area would be a bonus.

Thanks

Scott

It is called a "Gear Boot Oil Cover". I have a 73 240. Paid $60 AUS brand new from Nissan Dealer.

Yep that's my car in the Avitar thingy. Very slowly being fixed up to get it back on the road. The G-nose is only recent and hasn't seen the road yet in this car.

It is now back to the driveable stage with all the lights working properly, but there are a few little rust issues to fix.

It took me to uni for 3 years and to work for about a year and a half, then sat in the garage for another year and a half. But soon to be back in action.

I'll try get some piccies uploaded this weekend of various stages.

Nissan quoted me $65 for a new boot, and the Zcar shop quoted me $80. I guy had one in the trading post, like new and wanted $5 but it was the early rectangular type. I baulked at paying $65 and was just wondering if anyone had a spare sitting about.

In the manual it is referred to as a dust excluder, which is also one name they called it at Nissan.

These show up frequently on eBay. There are currently 3 listed at $10.50, $10.95, and $22 (all USD). These are possibly reproduction parts but are covered up completely by the outer shift boot anyhow. These guys specifically claim that they ship down under:
