Hey thanx, Well that makes 2 aftermarket parts that seem to be Japanese market only. Any clue how rare these wheels might be? They're stayin on the car, don't feel right to put anything else on. Also, did the japanese cars swap up the turn signals like they did in America? its a 77 and i'm wondering if it was modded to put the front spoiler on(the other jdm part i spoke of). Has "EVA DATSUN Z" molded in in reverse lettering across it. Only other time i've seen that spoiler is in a pic...i think Alan posted it in a previous post i had asking about it. Now I just need to know where to pick up a tail light assembly w/ the amber turn signal lens and identify what year bumpers those are and i'm in business.

meant to link this pic also http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=8877 sorry, new at this

Hey, I've got this old fairlady I'm restoring and was wondering if anyone could tell me what wheels these are. They're 14in. and came on the car when i got it. Thanxhttp://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=8875

Yeah, this stuff is expensive. I had an idea about get some amber material used for that stuff and just cutting to fit. Other than the turn signal lens the tailights are identical. Would that be completely stupid? Also was hoping to find someplace kinda local, or at least somewhere in the Southeast that could do a good job on the dash. I really got no problem with sending to Dashboard Restorations. it'd just be less hassle if i could get it done stateside ya know. Ah well, gotta pay ta play. Take it easy ppl, DAVIS

Hey thanks for the info guys. The whole deal with the "euro" lights came from i think zedd findings. They said they could get me one for like $275. Anyway, how much would it cost for Dashboard Restorations to do my dash? shipping where i'm fairly concerned, I live in NC on the east coast. Probably gonna have to send my console too. Alan, good to hear from the Z historian again. and YES, that is the airdam on my car. Glad to finally see that thing some where else (now just gotta find Pics of my wheels so i can figure what the hell they are). I really appreciate the input guys. Now, i just gotta get the hell outta Afganistan so i can actually lay into this thing. (not to mention i REALLY REALLY miss driving). But I'd say havin at least $9-10Gs to spend on the car makes up for all of it. Take it easy back there in civilization everyone, DAVIS

I am currently restoring a 77 Datsun Fairlady Z in North Carolina. This is a RHD 2+2 that has been heavily modified and apparently left for dead at a junk yard. The car has a turbo hood scoop grafted into the original hood, 240z front turn signals for the front air dam, both front and rear spoilers and N42 block and head w/ cam(unknown spec) triple mikunis and a 6-1 header with free flowing exhaust. I have 3 questions about the restoration. 1.)Are the Euro and Jap style taillights the same? the car was hit in rear and one light replaced with an all red light other side has amber turn signal. 2.) The dash on this car is cracked all to hell. Would I be better off Getting a dash imported somehow or just have it completely stripped down and repadded by an interior shop when i have the rest of the interior redone? 3.) Just out of curiosity, has anyone ever seen a 240 spoiler with words "EVA DATSUN Z" molded into it in reverse lettering(ambulance style)? I have this on the car but i have never seen it before. I would appreciate any help you guys could give me. thanx DAVIS

I'll post some pics as soon as i can find someone w/a digital camera. All i got these days is my trusty ol laptop. Need ya'll to help me identify the wheels on her anyway. Gray looking w/ a tapered x design into a dish along the inside. Haven't found em on the net yet, but haven't been looking to hard either. I guess i lucked up. There's a place about a 2 miles of post that deals exclusively w/ old imports. They're gonna fix that hiccup in the rear carb and give a crash course on tune mikunis. Also need to find a tranny. 2nd gear synchro gone on this one. I can upshift into gear, but i can't even double clutch or float it in on the downshift. Got a place that'll install a fully built one w/ long term garentee for 550. Think i should go w/ it or just find one myself and install it? I have swapped a coupla trannys on my Bird, so i can do it. Anywho, Its great to finally have the car. Gonna spend the next 6mo-1yr or so restoring the body and interior, probably gonna go through the suspension w/ poly and coilovers too. This is gonna be a good learning experience, plus i'm gonna have something to show for myself insteada pissin' all my money away junk. :classic: Nice little thick momo steering wheel in the car. 3 spoke w/ a sig. on the bottom one, can't tell the name though. God a good steering wheel makes a world of difference on a car.
