Is there a Z store or junk yard around here? I need like lot of stuff, but I dont have time to order what I need online. By the time the stuff gets here, I will be back in Tennessee.

I know that there are a few of you who live around here that I can get help from if needed and tools too, but right now all I need to know is if any of you have a bunch-o of parts.

Like I need a bunch of little stuff. All the big things need to wait for the interior because I need to get a vinyl interior kit, and I am going to do that before I put in my carpet kit and new seats put in.

Almost have finished cleaning the car out, getting the hatch window out and pulling out the old carpet kit (nasty!!!). A little rust inside, but nothing that cant be fixed. Getting a huge list put together for parts.

Tomorrow I think that I am going to be chucking in a battery and see how that goes. Hopefully the thing runs smoothly!

As far as I know there isn't anything like that in Santa Cruz proper. I believe there are a few places over the hill in the Bay Area but I haven't made my rounds to them yet. I don't have a lot of spare parts myself, only those that are earmarked for use in future conversions or additions. List what you need and I see if I can be of any help. I may be willing to part with something critical you need if I have it on hand and it can be easily replaced at a later date.

Also, there are a few junk yards in Moss Landing just south of us, and I have found parts there from time to time. A few months ago there Pick & Pull had a 74' 260Z with an N42 based L28 and flat tops, a 240Z that was mostly a stripped shell and a lost cause, a 73' 240Z that was 80% complete with a clean shell and complete running gear minus the carbs, however rumor is that it was crushed....animals. There were also numerous 300ZX's from 84-89 and an 81 280ZX 2+2 I yanked the motor, tranny and diff from.

Don't forget about Salinas, it's not too far away, and may have some goodies

There's Rod's discount datsun parts in south San Jose. He has both new and used parts available and is a nice guy also. I have bought stuff from him for over 20 years!

Never heard of him. Is this a recycling yard like Eric Nyerlin's place, www.zparts.com? Do you have a phone number or address?

Hey! What do you know about Salinas? I never even thought to look out there. Did you live out here in he past?

Here's Rod's website http://www.rodsdatsun.com He is more like a vendor than a junk yard, although he does have some used stuff. Stuff for all Datsuns too, not just Z's. I have found stuff in Salinas on rare occasion, but the San Jose yards are much better for selection, IMO.
