Containment

[RIP260Z]

No, not the current virus restrictions, but the original, genuine, Nissan boxes and assorted packaging, our new, now NOS parts came in. I haven't seen a thread on this, so..

I love obtaining new parts, in there original boxes, something special. And the more age to a part, some of mine are probably going back to the mid 1960's, the better. And, the changes and different way Nissan wrote down the part number and item description. I have no idea how the different types of packaging, labels and fonts fit into any kind or historical "pathway" of development, I just like them! I don't think this should just stay within the era of the S30, as the packaging of parts spans a wider time.

Some , may think its "weird", but its not the same getting a reproduction part just in a plastic bag. The original box can add value to the part.

My favouite, the red white and blue Nissan boxes. Not mine, but the boxes are in very good condition. A variant, I only spotted of the red white and blue;

Notice, only red on the ends of the packaging.

An earlier example of a parts label, notice it is in kanji, rather than english, and the label is a different design.

 

Enjoy!

(Admin, feel free to move, but I didn't know how to catagorize this...)

Not weird at all. Here is a 11720-E4615 Fan belt that I purchased as a spare and have kept in the car since 1979. I even have the invoice.

Thanks CanTechZ, I bet you don't really want to use that fan belt if you get stuck. That is part of the problem, once they are used, they are gone.

A couple of examples of "soft" Nissan packaging. The sturdy paper bag one, hand written, and without parts description. And a Datsun plastic bag.

Hi Ian,

Great thread idea! 

Attached are a few examples of "containment", including one from "Pardat", who sold authorized Nissan parts through UK dealerships.  I like the red, white and blue boxes the most.

Another, these are my not needed MK63 pads packaging, tatty but still containing.

Yes, I'm definitely won't be using that fan belt. Also here is a picture of two 74932-E4100 scuff plates that I have, one is from 1984 and the other from 2016. I found it interesting that the description changed so much. In 1984 it was "PLATE-SCUF" as is in the parts book, the part from 2016 reads "HOOK ASSY-ROPE"
