  1. She must have dented the fender by now, and is no longer a friend.
  2. The girl on the green car is top pic for me too with 10676 views. The radiator is second with 5000 views, and the Skyline is a close third at 4855. I agree with Site on a good choice, or maybe the reaction disc issue. Something useful at least.
  3. View Advert Dealership Paper Collectables I found these paper documents at the swap meet recently. I don't know if any of you collect these types of things. I have not found too many collectable posts on this forum. I thought they were cool unique items for a Datsun collector. $20 for the 4 pieces shipped, media mail (in the 48 US States), I have a few sets of them. I would ask for friends and family PayPal, as I should't be considered a scammer. If you want the protection of Goods and Services the price will be $22.

  4. It even says $19.95 was the old retail and slash reduced to $12.88. I bought two and still came out ahead. No sales tax either which is odd for a WA sale. (At first I had that same thought, Canadian dollars?)
  5. Odd, when I bring up the link it says these are $12.88. ??
  6. IIRC the 73 part was shorter, because of the EGR set up. Do you have the old one from the 73 to measure? I have two, one is 12.125" the other 12.5" overall.
  7. Sal has nice re-zinc'ed parts, but can be pricy. I have some raw loose linkage pieces but would need measurements to get you the right one. You would then need to clean it up to your liking.
  8. Cant lay it flat. I came up with this custom box.
  9. I have some wiper arms available as long as you aren't looking for show quality.
  10. Thanks for the mention, I don't think I have any loose ones that would be much better. These things are brittle. I have a set of complete lights, even they have a few chips.
  11. If I can figure out a box for it I'll send you a quote.
  12. The 90 degree one in the corner is the small radius bend which is the bend you are referring to. There is also a very large radius that is the curve of the window. These two side pieces will not lay flat like the two on the hatch. They are curved The longer top piece is also not flat it too has a curve.
  13. Two bends really, the arc across the front is also a large radius bend. You can see it in the pic. Makes them awkward to ship.🤥 I do have some though, @Wally if you're still looking.
  14. Terrapin Z replied to Wally's topic in Interior
    A task better best attempted in warm weather I expect. Perhaps a really warm garage. I rolled up some thin mylar and put that in from the front, to assist with getting past the dash inside lip.
  15. I was only guessing as those pic's had just recently been posting. Perhaps having your CL ad link on here will drum up some more business for you. Looks like you have quite the hoard. GLWS
  16. I am guessing Bob S is the Craigslist poster from Whidbey Is and has these two pic's of sensors. I am not sure if these are the same ones he is questioning about. I too am not downloading unknown files. These are copied from the CL ad. https://skagit.craigslist.org/pts/d/oak-harbor-datsun-280z-280zx-coolant/7581226710.html https://skagit.craigslist.org/search/sss?userpostingid=7581226710#search=1~gallery~0~0
  17. Interesting, That seller https://www.ebay.com/str/sparksurplus has over 110K items for sale, and over 2300 Datsun items that look pretty nice. Reasonably priced too. For all Datsuns. I do not know the seller at all or purchased anything. Just an observation. I think I have one of those ICM's too. Just not sure of the car it is from.
  18. I have always looked at the speaker holes. There is a noticeable flat spot between the bump and holes on the early and no gap on the later.
  19. I completely agree with this statement. I does look better than all the other candidates they have offered up. You can certainly expect there is a whole lot worse you can't see. And this is just classic.....sounds like they are selling a new car. ..."lighter with an ashtray" "sun visors" Amenities include air conditioning, driver-side mirror, manual-crank windows, analog clock, Hitachi vintage radio, center console, lighter with an ashtray, sun visors, glove compartment, and rear window louvers.
  20. I have a few of those brackets on my parts cars.
  21. I too have quite a hoard, not a ton of NOS but lots of UOS. I usually clean up some parts and post on eBay. I also answer parts wanted ad's when I find them. Lately I have seen a larger amount of parts for sale on CL and FB. People seem to be cleaning out their hoards and unfinished projects for the new year. I started with adding to my own spare parts collection and just kept finding well priced, whole rusted out cars. I even tried selling them as a whole but everyone that came to look just lowballed me or passed outright. So I decided to part them out. Keeping the better of any given part and offering the extras up as mentioned before. I do have one good shell. I am saving another full set of parts for it's build. I am sure I have enough parts to put it together, but like many not enough room or time right now. I do have some rear taillight panels that are NOS (not Nissan, from an old body shop) One for a 74-78 2+0 and the other is 74-78 2+2 With storage dirt and some surface rust.
  22. One issue with MSA's product, for $10 each set. $50 shipping Even a USPS small flat rate box is $42.00 to generic a Germany postal code. (I probably have some used bolts/nuts I could sell)
  23. I think I have that one, see pic. Your picture is a ? for me, so I can't compare. I parted an early 260 and I am pretty sure this is the grill off it. I should tag everything......🤭
  24. If you post pictures of the three you have and what your goal is perhaps we can assist further. @Zed Head detailed out a few of the needed changes that may be required. There is different gearing, different half shaft stubs and/or CV axles, different mounting, different snubbers (strap or RT style) Open / LSD etc......
