The Silvia stuff is a bit Geortz centric, for me, missing the Japanese side of things. But overall site is a nice starting point covering the early Nissan range

And its sitting on Kobe Seiko "Z432" wheels.....

That is Stefan, met him whilst he was over here in England, nice chap. A very, very competitive car, running a Rebello 3.1 or 3.2 if I recall.

I tried finding them a few years ago, even using the part number, and no joy. Came across a NOS one, but I was too late. I ended up making my own by using the old one as a mould. Sorry can't help more than that.

For those of you interesting the first generation Nissan Silvia (CSP311), this is a website I am doing. Not finished yet, but slowly getting there. Yes its attempting to be bilingual, as nearly all the cars/owners are in Japan... http://csp311.net/

Have you tried Ron at Zclocks, he may have something.....

Why not use the 225mm flywheel? I have on my Rebello

Found this on our Uk ebay, thought you would to have a look.... Needs a lot of work.... Fairlady Z JDM S30 Right Hand Drive Project Dry State Import. L@@K INC VAT | eBay

A heat shield can be good way also of deflecting the small chance of a fuel leak away from your headers....

Kurbycar, And enjoy it when you get the engine up and running (I do with my Rebello 3.2l unit).... clutches, also may want to look at ACT. Fuel pump, there is also Holley.

I am not aware of any at the mo, though Alan may have a better idea if anything happening in Japan. The only thing similar is these (see below) which are copies of the Kobe Seiko rally wheel (though out of stock) but maybe worth enquiring if there is going to be another production run. Rally mag wheel reproduction - $999.00 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce Originals sometimes come up on Yahoo Japan if you want a set of Z432 Kobe's. I presume you are aware, the original Kobe Seikos for the Z432 came in (I think) 4.5 and 5J x14 size (or was it 5 and 5.5J).....so not very wide. Whatever you decide, they will be expensive.... Keep us post where you go with this. I do have a Kobe Seiko z432 wheel if you want to borrow to go down the long road of getting a set cast...... Does that help?

barts, your best bet of finding one is in the UK, as there are a lot of modded S30's gone with uprated gearboxes and thus the original one is taken out. Pretty easy to find over here. Koalia, only up to, I think, 1971 was the same '71A five speed 'box the same as the roadster, and then you will find the starter motor is on the other side.

I agree Koalia, they are a bit dear

Bryan There is two listed in the classifieds... Obviously been pointed to the correct info about the clock I posted, must have passed my little brain cell, thanks, you know who you are..

I am a great fan of the Rally and calendar clocks for the S30...but found this variation of Yahoo Japan.... have not seen that type of face design before....Google translate says later S30..? (The second image is what I am used to seeing). Main differences are font and saying Quartz.

Gents, Blimey $85 from Nissan US, I brought mine about 4 years ago for about £30 from Nissan UK, you can see them on Yahoo auctions for about $33 (just looked)...obviously shipping but at least you can get them, does that help? Obviously you would have to use a proxy bid site, but hey that is the price you have to pay. So if that what Nissan US want for them, repros look an option.

Kacrow, as far as I am aware there is no need to reproduce these, as you can still get them... RichieP, if the ZG headlight covers have the same rubber seal system as the standard headlight bowl covers, these stick onto the lens, and when you see an OEM set the rubber has sometimes come away leaving a hard glue mess on the lens. I have a pair of standard headlight covers on mine, and from asking Alan T, he pointed me to a closed foam strip (with a sticky side). Just peel off the backing strip and guide onto the lens. Or do you want to be exact and follow the OEM way? Just giving you an option that is easy. Cheers Ian

And only a few hours later I come across this post looking for the same part no. oh well.

Cheers Mike, I will dig out my tatty ones to measure.... attached is an image taken from a Yahoo auction.... Thinking about it, only the "i" would need "making", as the other letters for Nissan are in Datsun. Thanks for considering my slightly off piste request. Ta Ian

There is a market from my point of view.... I only asked if 9teen would consider it, and if so, what would the "production run" be? All it is is changing a few letters... Did I mention anything about Datsun 240z? If you don't ask....

9teen7t240z, Threshold plates have been mentioned, but could you change the lettering (in the same style) from Datsun to Nissan?

Could also try MSA, where I got mine, though it was a few years ago....

Or perhaps these (as you said similar). Expensive, but ready to buy! http://page7.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/g96942496 These have been on Yahoo auctions off and on now for a while..... Jdm-car-parts, have these, are replicas of the Works Rally wheel, but sold out. http://shop.jdm-car-parts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=37_26&products_id=78 Good luck and keep us posted in where you go on this. Cheers Ian

And for me, more to the point, it has a interview with Kazuo Kimura giving the facts on the design of the CSP311 (Nissan Silvia) and A550X project.
