Datsun mirror Part No riddle?

[Webmanic70]

Hi guys.

I have some Nissan boxes with 96301-N3400 and 96302-N3400 and am wanting to know what was in them.

They were mirrors but which type?

Also I need to kmow what the part No is for the chrome bullet type fender mirrors used on the Datsun's. Thanks

In addition. Is there a way of verifying that fender mirrors are genuine Nissan and not simply fakes?

Craig,

My part books show the E4100 subscript for what is illustrated as the bullet type of mirror. I don't have a listing for the N3400. Your mirrors look genuine, however. Nice looking car!

Don't know if this is worth mentioning but I bought two Nissan driver's side mirrors for my car and have noticed since I installed them that the driver's mirror is fine but the passenger side is wavy enough to be obvious though it is still usable. Both came in boxes that looked the same that said Nissan all over them.

Hi Craig

Joseph here. I did a little research into mirrors fitted to "Australian" spec cars a few years ago. The mirrors you currently have fitted to your car are correct for the very early cars sent to Australia. I believe that they may have been fitted either on the dock or by dealerships; the cars may have been shipped with the holes drilled in the fenders and rubber/plastic blanking plugs fitted.

The black bullet type mirrors were original/correct for the later cars till about 72 when the standard door fitted chrome mirror was used through 72/73.

The black bullet type mirrors are now NLA from Nissan.

The chrome bullet mirrors you see on ebay etc are for a 1600 and not for a Z. While they could be fitted they are not the same height as the original black version.

Hope this helps.
