Locating Parts

[Darbji280z]

Has anyone ever been to blackdragonauto.com? I'm sure you have. How do they rate. Does anyone recommend using blackdragonauto as a supplied of new Datsun part? I've spent the better part of my evening flipping through their catalog and am just amazed at the vast selection of some what hard to find parts. I'm new to the Z cars but I thought it was pretty cool.

For actual Nissan parts, if you have part numbers, I'd go to nissanparts.cc. Their prices are better than Black Dragon. I have no problem with Black Dragon, I've bought parts from them in the past when they were called Victoria British but nothing that was still available from Nissan through nissanparts.cc.

I've bought plenty of parts through BD. All mostly good experiences so far, save one or two ocasions where I recieved the wrong part. Note that many of the parts are aftermarket reproductions, not OEM parts. This is not a bad thing, especially if OEM is NLA, just something to note if originality is important to you. As Stephen indicated, www.nissanparts.cc is good place for OEM parts that are still available, and www.courtesyparts.com is another.

Thanks. The crappy parts I get at work are no good. AutoZone is okay for my other cars but not this one.

No, AutoZone isn't going to carry old Z parts. Have a look at Motorsport Auto and run through this site's search function for other specialty dealers of parts. There are many of them.

Well, we have the parts but I'm just not sure they are good enough for my baby girl.
