siteunseen Posted November 7, 2019 Share #2857 Posted November 7, 2019 Don't get zipper locked like Levis jeans. Do they make button fly baggies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheee! Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share #2858 Posted November 7, 2019 Picked up a splash pan! Can’t believe I found one locally in great shape. A little dollying and media blasting and it is ready for powder coat. I’m thinking a nice satin silver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patcon Posted November 7, 2019 Share #2859 Posted November 7, 2019 That is in really good shape! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking forward to powder coating it soon and bolting it up. I did a test fit and even after all the frame and rad support work I did, the only bolt holes that don't line up are the ones on the 240Z front frame rails that I bought with pre-welded capture nuts. Maybe the 240 had a different bolt position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheee! Posted November 8, 2019 Author Share #2861 Posted November 8, 2019 Dug up a little Nissan OEM gold at the local dealer too. Found new wiper stalk boots for $3 each, new hood bumpers that bolt to the fender for $8 each, and two new OEM hood dampers that bolt in front of the cowl for $12 each! Canadian! Delivered! crazy... Apparently the Calgary parts distribution centre has some of the largest stock of old Datsun parts in North America. The problem is, the searchable database no longer includes the references for the S30 vehicles. The part number has to be manually input in order for them to search for parts. They can't look up the part under the year and model for our cars! Crazy. They really have no idea what they have there until someone enters a part number and searches for it. The warehouse is apparently the "size of four large American Walmarts"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramsesosirus Posted November 8, 2019 Share #2864 Posted November 8, 2019 Wow, do we have a list somewhere of part numbers and what they are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am working on a way to get Nissan Canada to download a spreadsheet of their part numbers without sensitive pricing data etc so I can sort it out based on part numbers for the S30 chassis. It may come down to being too sensitive of data for them to release; so other than getting a part-time job at Nissan.... I might be out of luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteunseen Posted November 8, 2019 Share #2866 Posted November 8, 2019 My local Nissan parts manager said he can go only to '93. I get the numbers and to our disbelief they are still available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered and received a new front drivers fender, fender badges ($35), sail pillar Z badges ($35), and lots of little things over the years that sell for stupid amounts on ebay etc as people believe them to be NLA. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
