dutchzcarguy Posted January 3, 2023 Share #1 Posted January 3, 2023 (edited) I have searched for the old topic i ones made but can't find it anymore.. So made a new topic and i do have a set of 3 rare (same) parts.. for sale but it aint a cheap.... Here some ultra rare EURO rare licenceplate lighting units... in more or less good condition.. one is without the glass incerts.. sold them many years ago for a few euro.. 1 polished and 2 are in grease.. the polished one is on the rest of the pic's. Those "rings" on the last one is not rust but just a sort of dirt that comes off easely.. ( They , the 2 unpolished ones have a bit of rust on the inside.)

Namerow Posted January 3, 2023 Share #2 Posted January 3, 2023 Very nice. Was there a specific regulation that led to the requirement for this double-lamp fixture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there a specific regulation that led to the requirement for this double-lamp fixture? Maybe it is because the European license plates are 3 feet wide? (OK, I jest, they aren’t 3 feet wide, but are a good bit wider than the US plates.) Edited January 3, 2023 by Racer X 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good question.. the strange thing is that the lighting bar (with also 2 lamps on USA version) above the licenseplate was also there just no lamps in them! (For as far i can remember.. please tell me if i'm wrong!) I see that the English and Japanese versions also have these "on the bumper" chromed bar. Personally i like them but often these chrome bars are totally rusted away. I got no idea why they differ, i do think that the american (top) lights make the licenseplate better visable in the dark then the orig. Japanese (and euro) lighting. I never bothered to install some euro bumpers on my car (with 2 big holes in them for this special lighting fixture!) Also 3 ! in my collection. 😮 ( I noticed that the top one in this pic is also a extra light one! (makes a lot of difference in weight..) If someone needs a bumper... i got 9 at the moment.. (front 5 and rear 4 incl the side/end parts) and some coat hangers for on them as well haha.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And those are black with white letters, the normal NL. yellow plates are even a bit wider! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post emccallum Posted January 3, 2023 Popular Post Share #6 Posted January 3, 2023 I have never seen those license plate lamps, very cool! These were removed at the dealer when the customer wanted mags on his new z. The customer gave them to me in the early 80's when he was cleaning out his attic. 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteunseen Posted January 3, 2023 Share #7 Posted January 3, 2023 (edited) I bought some from a guy that found them in the attic of a house he bought. They look like they've been stored since new too. $125 I think I paid. Lucky life we live! Edited January 3, 2023 by siteunseen 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, they are rare as most have rotten away.. (btw, that brownish stuff inside the fixture is not rust but some kind of grease.) So guys, come on! Who has even more rare parts on his attic? I like to see pics of the rarest parts, for sale or not! 🐔🦷(see what i've done here?) Edited January 4, 2023 by dutchzcarguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emccallum Posted January 4, 2023 Share #11 Posted January 4, 2023 Found this going through a box when I started my restoration. I think I bought it as a spare many years ago when my wheel cylinder seized. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchzcarguy Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share #12 Posted January 4, 2023 So, finally time to make some pic's of something in my cellar.. I think this is a special part to run a 4 barrel carb of american cars on a 240z? can someone tell me what the round thing is?? (Does that fit ON the carb and go's to the airfilter???) It's all new parts and was part of a complete datsun z sale long ago.. Lookes like it will fit directly to the inlet manyfold normally used for the hitachi carb's. A question would be.. where are those 4 big threaded holes in the square block for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
