Pretty sure this is it here - http://www.rarespares.net.au/rarespares/ProductPage.aspx?product=RRRS402A

Has anyone used one of these kits? I hear they are a bit hit and miss. I'm curious to know what they actually include and what fits correctly, other than the boot rubber. I'm specifically interested in the rubber that runs on the underside of the brightwork at the top of the door frame in the coupe. Is that included and does it fit nice?

The paint on the rear panels is **** though, it's acrylic and damages too easy. I'm going to repaint it so we'll have to colour match.

Oooh nice.

Yeah the badge isn't new so the chrome is missing, I've got this picture saved too Not quite sure how I'll do this yet.

Yeah agreed, I reckon it will come up ok. Might tackle it this weekend. Picked up some more bits from A A Vinney's (http://www.vinneys.com.au) this week. Still waiting on the polishing jobs to come back though, some parts were pretty bad. I got the mirror bases sorted, these go under the guards and hold them on. I also got the rest of my fuel filler back and the clips that hold the boot and bonnet chrome work on. The clips are somewhat decayed but they were doing a good job before I took them off so I'm sure they'll hold. Also the number plate lights. Also had some used and NOS parts arrive... A mint light cover, these are usually cracked and discolored Some black grab rails for the new black interior Some NOS switches for the dash And a NOS gear boot, choke cable and skyline badge for the dash. And new rubbers for the window divide and bonnet. I also fitted the Nissan logo to the gauges instead of the clock. Lots of GTR's came with a clock, some didn't. It would appear there many options, right down to the cigarette lighter and switches for lights etc. I've noted some GTR's that don't even have heater/air controls, talk about basic. I also picked up some power window mechanisms and switches. I'm missing a rear mech though. Not sure if I'll fit these yet or not, could be cool though.

I also need them, Kent and I have JUST been talking about this haha. We were wondering if the rear and front panels are the same color.

Nice! I've been wondering what do do with these parts. The front bumper mounts especially. Might have to give this a go!

Yeah the paint on this is junk as you can see. It's going to be tough to track down a paint code for this. I do have some really nice pictures though but dunno how much help they'll be. It's not the same paint color as the rear panel is it?

Being the glutton for punishment I am, and wanting to use as many original parts as possible, I decided to bring in a rust GTR grill I found in Japan. It was a lot cheaper that most I've seen going at around AUD $700 and considering a replica grill is close to AUD $600 I figured it was good value. I knew I was going to have to do some work on it but I wasn't sure just how much. I picked up the grill from Aaron at Import Monster (http://www.importmonster.com.au) last week and took a look at it over the weekend. It's rusty alright! The top and back aren't too bad.. But the bottom is worse than I feared and will need to be replaced.. I'm not too fussed, I'll drill the pop rivets, dismantle the entire grill and then send the salvageable parts away for acid dipping and zinc plating. I'll take the bottom piece into a metal fabricator and hopefully they can knock me something up. Fingers crossed!

I found another cover that was in much better condition. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/thread45660-4.html I'll still brush this old one though, eventually...

I've got one of these, they are awesome.

Nope, same here. There is a good reason so many are missing!

I don't like these at all, I reckon it's a good way to loose the chrome work. I'd prefer something fixed. I'd even go to the extend to fastening them to the eyebrow. I know Gerry (Kid-K) made sets.

Yeah it's a tough, but fair system.

Oh yeah, the blue is just so sexy....:paranoid: Yeah not much rust so far, but I know it's in the usual spots. I've been digging....just wait, the car has a few surprises in store yet.

Pulled the glass out over the weekend and the rest of the interior. The windscreen wasn't too bad, it obviously been replaced before because the sealant was still quite soft and workable. I used the heat gun and knife and managed to lift it out pretty easily in one piece, too bad it's chipped and needs to be replaced anyhow. The rear glass was a differennt story, the sealant was seriously hard and they heat gun didn't do much other than set it on fire My dad came up with the great idea of using his new Makita Mult-tool to cut though the sealant. It cut like a hot knife though butter, I would have been there for hours doing it by hand otherwise. We got the rear glass out with no scratches or cracks, I'm not sure if rear glass can be sourced? I still have to clean up around the windscreen but both the front and rear seem to be in pretty good shape with only some very minor rust at the rear. On the drivers side there is a few clip mounts missing and some pin holes that will need to be fixed. The inside looks pretty good too, some minor rust in the rear foot wells where water has sat around the drain holes and some surface on the sides but I'm pretty happy. Next will be the doors, and the dash which will be re-skinned.

What a cool find.

Will do, thanks Drew.

Hi guys, I'm looking for a set of wiper arms for my 240K with nuts. The pair on my car are odd, I reckon one is from a Zed and one from a K. I saw a set on YJ but the price is stupid. I've seen some new Datsun wipers on eBay from Bluebirds, Sunny's etc. Does anyone think they'd fit? http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b140749417 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Windshield-Wiper-ARMs-DATSUN-510-Bluebird-SSS-RH-and-LH-Pair-Nissan-Genuine-NEW-/221136357405?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item337cc1081d&_uhb=1#ht_1484wt_1163

I think we all will be, if we put out heads together I'm sure we'll be able to find something.

Aren't they all! I just had mine stripped and replated and they still look so-so. I've considered replacing them with other lights because the lenses are all shagged. I've seen some Nissan utes and other utes that have similar types of lights, I was going to try and track down some similar lights. I'm also going to try and mold some replacement lenses if I decide to use the existing housings. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks again

Man, I'm gonna be in your debt big time haha. Would be awesome if you did though, mine has see MUCH better days. I'm happy to remove if and post back the cap if you like? Yeah they came up super nice huh.
