Thanks Tom and it would be nice to see one with a number plate on it. There is very little on the internet about these plates.

 

Yeh would be good to see one lit up, I'll have to look in the boot see if the other parts for it are there.

    Anyone have an idea what these go for? I know these are rare, but would £500 be a reasonable price?

     

    Well they're currently at £300 with six days remaining, having only been listed today I think...

    Interesting to see it's actually stamped by Nissan. Is Navan not independent?

     

    They are, but had a partnership with supplying dealers in Japan with 'dealer fit' accessories.

     

    It looks like a stamp they put on it purely for identity reasons and nothing else as it's not actually an official Nissan stamp.

    Not 100% sure how relevant this actually is, but I've been mooching about the internet trying to find a targa shade locking lug thing as one of mine seems to have fallen orf. The round plastic wodjit stuck to the glass...

    Anyway, I was in Nissan Rowstock pricing up some other bits and bobs and lo and behold, the lugs are on the system and marked as available. So I ordered one for two pounds eighty.

    Hasn't arrived yet as it's got to come from Japan/'Dam, but just goes to show that sometimes the best place to go is back to they who made it in the first place.

    Got some bushes for the shifter for a couple of quid each too, and confirmation that they can get key blanks in both plastic and 'fashion' styles. (whatever 'fashion' is).

    Whether they can cut me a new master key from the VIN is another matter, as I've only got what I suspect to be a valet key.

     

    TL;DR, Nissan still have some difficult to find bits tucked away.

     

    Edit: I suspect 'fashion' key to be the titanium/pretty stainless ones. Can't confirm.

    Hi, where can I buy these sills

  • Quote

    Just a thought

    I am newbie and I used to love going to junk yards, started in begining when I couldn't afford new oem parts, my son hated it,,snakes and such..

    Well, years ago I restored (2) Opel GT's , this was very first new car I ever bought, I subscribed to Opel clubs and soon I came to learn that were some parts that were impossible to get anymore. So I started writting them down with pic's if possible and always carried my notebook whenever I went to junkyards, only ones I really liked were the ones that let you out in yard.

    Well anyway I continued restoring the first Opel,,and I went to a junk yard that had a few of them (5) cars..One of the rare parts was passengers front side turn signal lens. At this junk yard that had (5) cars,,(3) of them had this lens and in good shape. I bought all (3),,total cost was $7.50, Took them home, polished them up and sold them for considerable profit. Do Z cars have any parts that enthusiasts seek? Or have sought previously? I am going to be junkyard cruising again perhaps when I buy a 300zx I will have to. While I am there it would be no problem to look for extremely rare parts..Pic's would really help on these rare parts. I have had my best results from old junkyards, especially ones that are not hooked up to internet or way in the country. My brother restored a 56 T bird,,and had looked far and wide for powered seats. I was out driving one sunday, I like back roads (all the curves) and I came upon old junkyard that had a T bird on the roof as a sort of advertizement back in its day, Well I stopped n talked to current owner and he really did not know what was in the T bird, we got a ladder out and up I went. It had powered seats!, down I came got tool box, and back up I went..It was electric screw driven and actually only kinda moved back of seat. I took it all, if part even looked close to this powered seat I took it. Sprayed liquid wrench on it,,tapped it a few times,,smoked a cigarette, and then unbolted it. When finished I came down with all parts and one heck of a good sunburn. Guy didn't charge me anything,,said it fun just watching this big guy on roof,,lol ..I shipped parts to brother and he got it rebuilt and installed it, was really rare part back then. He then asked me if the bird had a Paxton supercharger, I told him they were only on 57 "f" model birds and he said I was right,,but after market had made kit to install it on 56 birds also.

    I told him next time he visits I'll take him there and he can climb ladder and look. lol,,We never went back.

    So are there any parts for 300ZX or 240Z that are impossible to get? It never hurt to look if I pass one by in junkyard..Pic's would be good..I think you all junk yards = breakers,,why?
