Gav240z Posted May 12, 2003 Share #1 Posted May 12, 2003 I need the plastic bit that goes around the map reader light. It needs to be in uncracked condition. Willing to pay good price preferably buy it off someone who lives in AUS but will make exceptions depending on price. It's for a 240z I should mention, and I can't pay by credit car either.

That Ozzy Guy Posted May 12, 2003 Share #2 Posted May 12, 2003 Hey Gavin.Wish I could help you but I'm in the same boat as you. I would like one too but the whole light & in new condition.Anyone know where they sell them brand new? Price not an issue.Cheers Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/6120-i-need-a-map-reader-light-surrounding/#findComment-37076 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Pugh Posted May 12, 2003 Share #3 Posted May 12, 2003 Is the map reading light in the 260 the same? The dash facia panel is different but I don't know if they changed the light.If it's the same i've got one that has a crack through the mounting tab at the back but otherwise in good condition.Alan.

Gav240z Posted May 12, 2003 Author Share #4 Posted May 12, 2003 Unfortunately the 260z one is different as you actually flick the 260z one down and the whole thing moves. The 240z one is a push button operated one.Nissan haven't made them for years so I'm hoping someone here has one spare. Money for me is also not a big issue but there's still such thing as reasonable price.Mine has the typical cracks due to overtightening. If worse comes to worse I could get ahold of a fibreglass company or plastics place.But I really wanna get that nice and neat. And while were on the topic anyone know where to get the little stickers that tell you what the heater controls do Ie: the ones that say heater / vent etc.. I was thinking of getting a labelling company to make up some.oh and if it's absolutely neccessary I'll use a credit card.

Alan Pugh Posted May 12, 2003 Share #5 Posted May 12, 2003 Gavin you sound like your as manic as myself when it comes to the finer details that a lot of people don't notice or it just gets too hard.Alan.

Victor Laury Posted May 12, 2003 Share #6 Posted May 12, 2003 Mine has the typical cracks due to overtightening. Wazzamatta Gav? SuperGlue is not good enough for you? Mine is glued and I used heavy AL tape on the back for reinforcement. I didn't even know the light had this face plate untill I found one in a JY. Whattayaknow!

Gav240z Posted May 12, 2003 Author Share #7 Posted May 12, 2003 Lucky for you boys I have a sense of humor . Yeah superglue = big no no sorry but I do admit I'm a bit of a perfectionist. What can I say I love my 240z and it's not that other people won't notice it's that I will. mperdue I'm stumped I have no come back but I'll post one when i think of one to match you . SHould never say money is no object cause I is broke :stupid: . Anyway im still in need of that piece of plastic. Cheers.

Alfadog Posted May 12, 2003 Share #8 Posted May 12, 2003 Perfectionist + Z is not a good combo... I learned that the hard way :dead: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/6120-i-need-a-map-reader-light-surrounding/#findComment-37136 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedrally Posted May 13, 2003 Share #9 Posted May 13, 2003 Oh well Gav, take heart, at least you've got one. My poor 240 hasn't at all.Personally, if it performs anything like the 260 version, then it's as useless as...you know the rest.On the other hand if it's a functioning light you'r after then add an adjustable rally light.
