I think the head light cover will be the most curious thing for most of you, let's see how it goes.All these items will end Friday night 26th Sep. For more details of the head light cover,here is a link

Plastic lens was dirty and had many scratches,I cleaned them really hard.Now Looks O.K. but still some very small visible scratches.

Chrome trim ring is NOS, but not so good shape.There are some really small gaps between ring and light case.I do not why.I have another set ring they are perfect and kept for my Z432.

However as you can see it in the picture,they are nice as a cheap auction item!

I am not trying to advertised these here,I do not accept/expect bidding from outside of Japan. Just want to show what is happening on Zcar community in Japan.

This is not listed on the auction yet, but I am thinking.The hand throttle knobs and the mechanism.

This mechanism is very old/used from Japanese Z but function-able without problems.

Please see the picture,the right side steel lever(for the throttle) had cut away little bit from the top.I do not know why.What were the P.O. trying to do for it??? However installing the throttle knob is no-problem.

And the plastic grommet,this is a decent shape,not perfect but still usable.

There are two type of knobs are available, NOS early round knobs and NOS later square knobs.

I am thinking about Ebay too:rambo:

Kats, why is it that hardly any Yahoo Japan auctions sell to anyone outside of Japan? It seems odd when many eBay sellers will sell internationally.

Hello Filipe,I sent a PM to you

Hello Mike,

When you sell 1969 fuel door knob,please let me know!

And the auction, Japanese people (me too) have just no idea to deal with people world-wide.Yes we know everybody around the world can view Japanese web auction, but hardly ever think to sell/ship abroad.

One biggest matter is Communication/Language "English" I think.

In my case,I have an U.S. 240Z so I need to buy parts from the U.S. or other countries.I need to get used to Ebay and Paypal.

But my friends,they do not buy parts from other countries.Just do not need to ? I have been introducing Ebay to my friends but no one seems to give it a try.

Yeah ebay tried to start up in Japan, but failed to get any share of the market due to yahoo auctions being the market leader in that area in Japan, and just gave up.

Kats, if you find any ZG headlight covers let me know
