I did a complete restoration of my '70 240Z from October 2006 to June 2008 and used many sources to obtain parts for the job. In no particular order of preference, here is my 2 centz:

MOTORSPORT AUTO: Great inventory, knowledgeable reps, very helpful with information, many Nissan genuine parts, good prices. They do not have everything in stock at times and backorders can be slow, standard 10% Z club discount, fast shipping. Great at returns/exchanges. Good customer service. Never had a problem with them.

BLACK DRAGON: Easy to reference catalogue, good supply of most commonly used items, good selection of aftermarket items, not so knowledgeable staff (they merely take your order), no Z club discount, fast shipping.

Z CAR CREATIONS: Great product (Stainless steel fastener kits specific to Z Cars), personal customer service, decent price.

NISSAN DEALER: I obtained many genuine Nissan parts directly from my local dealer's parts department. You'd be surprised what is still available from the factory.

ZEDD FINDINGS: Charlie Osbourne makes the best replacement floor pans and frame rails out there, PERIOD. Friendly service, extremely fast shipping. www.datsunzparts.com

COURTESY NISSAN: Still has many parts for older Zs, hit and miss with supply, fast shipping, knowledgeable staff.

ROCKAUTO.COM : A auto parts clearing house on the web. Great selection of aftermarket parts. Great source for common mechanical replacement parts, lightning fast shipping, click and it's at your door in three days or less.

BANZAI MOTORWORKS: Mike McGuiness has some of the best reproduction rare Z parts around. If you want a spot on restoration, you need to see this guys website! www.zzxdatsun.com

CLASSIC TUBE: The best on pre-bent all stainless steel fuel and brake lines. Yes, they have kits for z cars! Wonderful product, well worth the money. www.classictube.com

SEATZ: The main supplier of Z Car upholstery/carpet/headliner kits to retailers. Great quality, wonderful fitment. www.seatzmfg.com

DANNY'S DATSUNS: Danny is in the Pacific Northwest and has tons of parts and many early Z parts cars to choose from. Good source for rust free body parts, drivetrain parts, etc. Danny was planning on retiring soon so check to see if he has what you need.

EBAY: LOTS to find here, both new and used Z parts. Buyer beware however!

There are many other sources for parts out there on the internet however the ones above are those that I dealt with in my restoration. I did deal with a couple others that were NOT good to deal with or were blantant rip-offs, but I won't go into that here.

Another source is great forums such as this and networking with your area Z club. The parts are out there, you just have to know where to look!

Glad I could help! I can only say that I had great experience using the vendors I listed, I'm sure there are others who would offer other opinions. For me, it was money and time well spent.

Good luck!
