I was about to pull my hair out trying to find the 9mm wide wipers 18" long.  On my way to Walmart I stopped at O'Reilly's.  After looking at EVERY 18" they had a young man ask if I needed any help.  I explained how I'd have to buy the "dumbed down" wiper assembly and remove the rubber to keep my original look.  He went behind the counter and came back with the exact size refills only.  Trico 44-180, $6.99 for both!  Don't understand why they are hidden but I don't care now that I know.  O'Reilly's also has the clear plastic fuel filter for $3.49.  They are 240Z friendly. 

 

 

Monday I was about to order the K&N air filter for my 240, $55 at amazon.com.  On a whim I called my Nissan parts buddy.  This morning he called and said I had an OE filter waiting on me, $15.

nice!

it always surprises me when the bits we need are available in the most obvious places... been trained to scour exotic resources for "rare" parts when the parts counter should be the first place to look!

Sweet!

Super deal on the air filter!

I carry him a grilled cheese with a couple of chicken fingers on it all the time, our restaurant is right next door and I'm a suck arse. 

good news with the wipers. do you know which other car uses the same complete wiper assembly ?

My '77 280 does too.
