They are discontinued from Nissan here. I have 30 of them in stock......All new. http://jdm-car-parts.com/item-for-sale/license-plate-lamp-assembly-for-240z/ Esprist

I know we have talked about this many times, but just in case.... http://jdm-car-parts.com/datsun-240z-original-detail/truth-about-d-hubcaps-on-early-240z-cars/ Esprist

I have a used set of arms. $55 shippined as is or $135 restored.(arms only)(all the joints taken aparts & cleaned with new bushings) (see link for detail) You can do it too, it takes several hours) http://jdm-car-parts.com/restoration/wiper-motor-regulator-restoration/ Esprist www.jdm-car-parts.com

I used to have a business (www.autoinspector.org) and had contract with Auto Nation (about 80th biggest comapny in Fortune 500). We were certifying cars for their auction as well as doing arbitration for sold vehicles. I also did bunch of pre-purchase inspection for retail customer, and did bunch of professional witness at courts. Some days, I inspected over 200 a day ( used to get up at 4:30AM, and went to my office at 5AM)believe it or not. Some cars faild in a matter of a few seconds, some others take a lot more time. (I have been an ASE certified tech as well as N.A.A.A. (National Auto Auction Accociation) Certified frame/structual examiner) Esprist www.jdm-car-parts.com

It appears little rough in pictures on Ebay, for a 1 owner car with 38K miles.... If any of you are really buying this, I can give you some advise. I have been a professional car inspector in L.A. (Used to inspect 15000 cars annually for frame/structural/mechanical/computer diagnosis, etc..) Esprist www.jdm-car-parts.com

Have you replaced little bushing at the top of rear insulator? ON 240Z cars, front ones are the same as back ones. Front ones take bearings at the top, and back ones have spacer-kind'a bushing. MSA has Urethane ones available, by the way. The strut insulator is basically a rubber bushing. If you want to achieve a perfect even height, yes, you do need to replace all of them. Most Z cars are sagging in back because of them. FYI, on 260Z and 280Z cars, back ones are much higher, and can be used in back to raise your back. Esprist jdm-car-parts.com

17236-E4601 I can still get 6 NOS ones from Japan at $155 each at your cost. (Nissan retail price from years ago was 13,800 Yen (about$145)'My cost is about 125 plus shipping) 　I can have them in a week or two. Deposit required for this one. Esprist www.jdm-car-parts.com

I agree with sblake's idea of taking the core to the radoator shop. New one, from venders(Nissan parts) are basically the core for pick ups in Mexico, and are slightly larger than original. You have hard time sqeeze it into the box. Esprist www.jdm-car-parts.com

These are Series 2 2/1971 240Z, 260Z, 280Z 1975&76 hub caps. How is the back? Are they rusty? Esprist

OK I have some photo of the trans rebulding. The pictures are 280ZX trans. you are talking about. You will need hand-press and big table(bench). You need to order trans rebuilt kit that has bearings, bushings, and seals. Also syscros for all the gears to avoid feature problem. Esprist

There are 2 seals for your speedo cog sleeve. Outer one, you can get at any at auto store. Inner one is still available from Nissan. MSA has both of them at very cheap price. These 2 should take care of the problems. Please see the pictures here......... Esprist

Most radiator shops can repair, boil it, seal, and paint in black it around $200. At least in L.A. Esprist

I would like to introduce another high quality new reproduction part from Japan. It is for 1969-1973 Emergency brake cable assembly. It even come with pins at the end. They are NLA from Nissan. I own few NOS ones, but these look just like original ones, and made by named brake company for a shop in Japan. It cost about $250 each. Esprist

I managed to get 3 more sets if anyone is interested in. $875 plus shipping $15? Esprist

Do you have picture of the trans? (RH side would be better) If you have neutral switch (green head) with 2 yellow wire, it is 5 speed trans made 80s'. Esprist

Cool!!!!! Mine was used at least 1 time, though. Your have air from 40 years ago! Your wheel also should have same production date at the rim. It should be 1/1971, or 2/1971 as the rest of wheels on the car. Esprist

Normally problem is at the contact points inside the sockets If not try bypassing soldered wires covered with black rubber tube. Even though they look fine, there might not bb no current flow. Very common problems. Esprist

I just bought a pair for $120 Plus shipping from http://www.new-datsun-parts.com/datsun-240Z-parts-exterior2.html They were new. Esprist

I have NOS cable assembly with knob and grommet....... It is for 1971 1/2-1973 Esprist

Good to hear from him. I am glad your parts are on the way, too. Mine is still pending......Wrong light cover....... By the way, I did not know he was out of the country, because I just talked to him on his cell phone and home phone last month........ Esprist

I have noticed that listing on Yahoo Auction. Please have a look at difference with these pictures. 1st. picture is a Genuine Nissan one. 2nd one is replica alloy one made by Rose Auto in Japan in early 90s. (360000 Yen for a set of 5! back then) 3rd one is Maglloy wheel, and 4th one is Rally wheel replica made in Japan in early 90s' in Japan as well. Only 5.5J Ones that were optional for Z432 had center cap mouting ears. Esprist

So far, I sold 2 sets. I still have 3 sets here. Esprist

Just so you know, MSA offers original Genuine Nissan hatch gasket around $130 or so. It is your choice. MSA has been the greatest leader in our Z community, and always being helpful for us. For my car, I have spent over $20000 in parts from MSA alone. Whenever there we issues, they always solved them out with me. Very professional service. Please remember that there will always be issues with 35+year old car. You are not the only one tring to make car look nice. I am answering your question with respect here. Esprist

After paint the rear light panels, You might be able to use 600-800 Grid water paper to get just the black paint off the original paint to maintain your original paint! If you need color matching referece for your rear panels, I will let you borrow my new lensence plate light to match the gray color. Esprist
