Jay.

Thanks! Couldn't find this topic again? Some of the updates on the shipping can be found here: http://zclub.net/forum/showthread.php?t=28384 And subsequent updates are here (will keep posting updates on here): http://zclub.net/forum/showthread.php?t=28638

Link doesn't work either, I wonder if it's being taken down for some reason? The replica for $390+90 shipping? I think they'll be approx $700+ once landed here in the UK as they're from Japan.

Still searching

They look lovely! Couldn't stomach paying that much though!

As a temporary measure I could get away with doing something similar: http://www.doyouevenhoon.com/datsun-240z-gtr/convert-240z-us-lights-to-uk-spec.html

Many thanks! I had found the ebay ones, but not the other. Techno Tuning do a set but again they're more expensive than the actual JDM ones. I guess if the lenses aren't much cheaper than a whole set of lights then I may as well go for the whole set! Was hoping to find a set around the 200 mark as that's what the other two guys paid for theirs, so maybe I'll strike lucky!

I've heard that you can get replacement lenses which would make things easier, as I could then adapt my own lights. I've found a few JDM ones for sale but they're pretty expensive so hopefully someone comes through with a spare set

As title really. Need some JDM or Euro spec tail lights to make the Z legal over here. Willing to pay shipping

Thanks guys, I guess having some poorly fitting parts might be better than fabricating completely fresh. Hoping to have the car picked up by the end of next week, there's been some serious faff between the seller and the escrow company but that appears to be sorted out - seller wasn't happy letting the car go without funds cleared into his account but the escrow service wasn't happy to send funds without the car. Luckily that's all resolved!

Some great replies here. I hope you can take these for what they're worth (advice) rather than taking it personally! There has been plenty of successful fuel cells installed, and if that's genuinely the way you want to go then it can be done. Lots of examples over on hybridz if you need new ideas (which I suggest you do) I'd have to err towards the old boys, there's no real need to swap the fuel tank out for a cell. If yours was rusty then a replacement would have been easier and cheaper. However, as you've said you've got the cell now and if you want to use it then it's your project.. Just take some time and consider how you're going to put it in, you've got quite a lot of time to play with right now by the sounds of things. Out of interest, who's helping you with the build?

Would tabco still be the best to go for? I've noticed quite a few companies offer panels, but tabco seems to be the biggest?.. I'll have a read of that when it comes to it! I guess that's just part of owning an old car Donor metals over here are rare, so I guess I'll look at fabricating some myself. If that fails then I'll try for some replacement parts. The money's been sent to the escrow, who will be conducting an inspection and then buying assuming it passes. Hoping that the car will be here in the next 6 weeks!

Just finished reading your thread, thank you again for your help on mine. What a fantastic write up and amazing commitment. I don't feel experienced enough to comment or advise, so I'll just sit here in awe

That's a great idea. My dad learnt to weld when we were doing up an old Miata, so I'm sure he'd be keen to give me some tips too. As for POR15, having a read and it appears you're right, best for rusting areas as opposed to rust-free. I'll look at some other products. Is it worth just using normal sheet metal or opting to get some replacement panels instead? .. I guess it saves fabrication and bending, but also costs more. I did have a MIG welder, or rather my Dad did, but it got stolen about 3 months ago! Insurance money popped through so I'll convince him to replace it Would you opt to do that on the underside too? I guess the benefit of a decent underseal is it applys pretty easily anywhere. Did you get some pics of that? .. It appears the soundmat is one of the causes for the rust, as it's trapped in the moisture! Although I guess the 'root' cause would be a leak somewhere

I certainly hope so! My goal would definitely be to get all the rust sorted, but it would be nice to have a bit of driving time before putting it into the workshop Originally I had thought of getting it professionally done, however I might get a welder and learn as and appears to be a bit of a recurring theme! Is POR15 still the way to go to get it undersealed?

Ah yeh I'm sort of bracing myself to find more of It, but as you mentioned I'd like to drive it around a bit to enjoy the car which will motivate me to strip it down when the weather starts to turn At what point did you decide it was too much? Any parts in particular? The only concern for passing an MOT will be the rear dogleg as that's probably going to he deemed structural. I'll be able to see that better in person. There's also a few changes to the lights, signals and minor things that will need to be done before it's legal over here too.. I'll document those for people in the future too
