Namerow Posted January 30 Share #685 Posted January 30 Perforated interior soft trim finishes were one of the defining features of 1950's German autos (Porsche 356's, Benz SL's, etc). I don't think anybody else did this (Alfa Romeos, maybe?) and it eventually transitioned from being 'quirky' to full-blown 'iconic'. I always liked the fact that Nissan's interior stylists picked up on this when they were laying out the Z's interior design back in the late 1960's. Save those headliners! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for providing a picture of the Banzai headliner. It does look nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post inline6 Posted January 31 Author Popular Post Share #689 Posted January 31 (edited) Today, I received some items I won from auctions in Japan. I use a third party, Jauce.com, to assist with the logistics. They handle receiving items... holding them until all are ready to export, and then packaging and sending them to me. There are many fees. There are bank fees when depositing funds. There are auction fees when you win. There are tax fees. There is shipping from the seller to the Jauce warehouse. There is the cost of shipping to the US. With all the fees and shipping, it can be difficult to determine whether what you paid was a good price. I thought it would be interesting to share a bit about my experience with purchasing and importing these items. The steering wheel is a "Nissan competition replica" - this one is wood vs. others available which are vinyl. I also got several genuine Nissan parts including a front set of front bumper rubber strips (the horizontal ones), a set of matching rear bumper strips, an ignition switch, a couple of window cranks, a horn pad for the steering wheel, and a clutch slave cylinder reservoir. Apparently someone made a batch of these replica steering wheels a while back, and you can still find them available in a few places. Generally speaking, without the horn button, you're looking at a minimum of $389 here in the US. Pair of genuine Nissan front bumper rubber strips are discontinued and no longer available - $200.84 with free shipping from eBay Pair of genuine Nissan rear rubber strips (the horizontal ones) $145 and $17 shipping from eBay and $66.51 plus shipping each from NissanPartsDeal.com Original Kanto Seiki ignition switch is available on eBay for $398 plus $19 shipping Set of two genuine Nissan window cranks $46.85 ($93.70 for two) currently, though they go on sale for about 15% off from time to time) plus shipping from NissanPartsDeal.com A genuine Nissan horn pad for a stock steering wheel - $310 on eBay and $269 plus shipping from NissanPartsDeal.com (but not currently available) A genuine Nissan clutch slave cylinder reservoir (old type) which is discontinued and no longer available Adding in all the fees and allocating the final shipping to the US. proportionately per item with the final auction price with fees included, here is what I actually paid: Replica steering wheel - $320.69 Pair of genuine Nissan front bumper rubber strips (NLA) - $96.46 Pair of genuine Nissan rear rubber strips - $109.77 Original Kanto Seiki ignition switch - $145.93 Set of two genuine Nissan window cranks - $63.16 A genuine Nissan horn pad for a stock steering wheel - $193.49 A genuine Nissan clutch slave cylinder reservoir - $21.30 A dollar buys a lot of yen these days, historically speaking, as can be seen from the graph below. The exchange rate is pretty much what it was back in about 1987. Something to consider! Edited January 31 by inline6 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emccallum Posted February 1 Share #690 Posted February 1 This car may have your left door glass if he is willing to part it out for you. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1588085648594964/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_top_picks&referral_story_type=top_picks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patcon Posted February 1 Share #691 Posted February 1 That's not a bad price... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emccallum Posted February 1 Share #692 Posted February 1 I see $400 worth of parts easy. Go grab it! I am walking away from that cheese, but my parts car has been invaluable for all kinds of little bits and pieces. I just thought of @inline6 as it isnt too far from him.

inline6 Posted February 1 Author Share #694 Posted February 1 VIN HLS30-60325 is much later than my car, so no chance on the driver window. But if you see any other candidates, don't hesitate to let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrapin Z Posted February 1 Share #695 Posted February 1 I don't even see a drivers door in any of the pictures. 12/71 would be too late for your request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the description says the door is in the car. Just trying to help 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
