I was thinking the same thin but needed to hear what others thought. I guess I will have to find someone that is more resonable on price.

Does it add $5000 to the bottomline asking price of the car or am just wasting money?

What a bargin. Too good to pass up for those in that part of the country.

I agree; I had a conversation with my painter last Thursday. He said materials alone will be $800, then 40 hours in prep at his cheap $35 per hour rate, $1000 to tape out and shoot the the car, then another $400 to shoot the clear and another 40 hours to buff out. There it is $4600 to paint a completely empty shell of a car. Then I will have to pay someone to put in the front windshield and rear window. Add it all up and it is well over $5K. Now I ask you; Does this make the car worth $5K more? The car is a 71 with a ton of new parts, new cad, 920 paint code with a black interior.

The Akira car.

We comissioned a set of molds to be made for this "Works" kit. The guy who has the molds is an long time replica car manufacturer. Hit me up if you are serious about getting a kit, it includes 4 fender flares and a 3 piece tail spoiler.

Can you send in a set of cores to be "restored" and pay just $279? I like the way they look and I really like what I am reading. For those who are doing factory original cars would he do them in a factory color?

Where to find one brand new in the bag? Would you know Carl? How much did those covers sell for? Someone here would have paid more.

Jay you are an amazing guy, I will order a few sets.

It is what I use; they are awesome especially the one at MCRD in San Diego.

Rack bushing and steering coupler bushing would fix the things you feel on the wheel. Both are simple and easy installs. Ball joints are a simple test but I don't think they are your problem. T/C bushing? Maybe another easy fix. Shocks? maybe another easy fix, thank you Tokico. Remember this about cars: "They are only original once" original cars with low mileage like that are not easy to find and work keeping as original as possible. Also if you modify keep the parts you take off for later reinstall if necessary. What carbs are you running? Beautiful original colored car. Don't forget to get it on the Z Registry.

We are watching, and appreciate the updates.

Just have a muffler shop add at glasspack and it will be fixed. I had Ed Hanson do my exhaust on my 73, drove it away, hated how loud it so I took it back the next day added the glasspack and I have been happy ever since.

I was going to take my 67 Roadster but did not have time to fix the starter so I will be going to Coronado as just an observer. I too am blowing off Sunday at Motorsport, I will be going on Saturday for the garage sale.

I might have that part laying around. I need time to check.

That car looked pretty solid coming in. One wonders why it would not be sold whole.

I have one like this in my collection of parts. I was not sure if others had done this. I have no real use for the part so if anyone wants it I will sell it.

Turnout was awesome, it was great meeting John Morton there as well. Well worth the drive from San Diego. Z Club of San Diego represented well.

Who is in? Got a small group from San Diego going up tomorrow, stay the night then hit Cars and Coffee Saturday morning.

New fenders are still available from Nissan, I picked up one last year at MSA garage sale for $25 because it was bend on the tip that goes near the cowl. Headlight cases on the other hand usually can be found.

I would not waste my time and money on Ebay with this car. I would Craigslist it, then have the Craigslist add picked up by Bringatrailer.com. That will give you all the exposure you need. Ebay will take too much of the profit. Also make sure to bring it by the Z Club of San Diego meeting on the 2nd of April at Denny's Resturant on Clairmount Mesa BLVD. Come early around 6PM there will be some guys there that just might be interested in serparating you from that fine car. Also Automatics can be desirable because they usually are not raced or beat. I know certain buyers of quality survivors like this car always take out the automatics but I would not. Email me at Montezuma50@gmail.com if you need more directions for times and places of the Z Club Meeting.

Datsun Roadster parts and Datsun L320 truck parts, that is what I am on the look out for.

The blue air cleaner boxes were sold by the dealerships. I was at a parts hoard a few months ago and there were 2 of them still in the dealership bags, brand new. I have also heard that they came on the replacement motors that were shipped from Japan.

I will be there; bringing the 67 Roadster....I hope Les can have my interior in by then.

I saw an episode of "Wheeler Dealers" where Edd China used it in a TR6 that Edd and Mike were fixing up. He looked interesting and was thinking of putting it in the Z.
