March 29, 200817 yr Author comment_242293 Thanks to Babalouie, here are pictures from the 2008 Shizuoka Nostalgic Car Festival in Shizuoka, Japan! There was a man who set up shop at the rear of the show who had a TON of NOS 240z parts. He had oem nissan fender mirrors, zg flares, and ONE set of the headlight covers which I am going to attempt to pick up next weekend at his shop in Tokyo! In addition to patch panels, wiring harnesses, aftermarket zg front bumper, you name it..http://public.fotki.com/Shizuoka-Nostalgic-Car-Festival/2008-shizuoka-nosta/I am also attending the D1 Grand Prix tomorrow at Ebisu Circuit!
