What a great build, such attention to detail. Congratulations to you and your dad.

OEM is still available on occasion. Found these on eBay.

A few more pieces on the way. Some vintage Nismo items to continue the theme of the steering wheel. Shift knob, horn, and oil filler cap, as well as a dead pedal cover in aluminum to complement a new OEM set of R34 V-Spec II Nur pedals.

Yeah, the potential for that occurred to me after I had bought the other unit. So while I've looked at what pieces might be missing, I decided it was better to wait and see what might be hiding in the car before buying any more replacement parts for the unit(s). So no further ordering on that as yet. With winter here in the States now, in Houston that means one day you need the air con, the next you need the heater. So I need it working!

One item I forgot ... been assembling pieces to restore the console hardware. For some reason the car doesn't come with an A/C control unit, an audio head unit or any of the mounting hardware. I found this used A/C control unit on eBay and have it in hand now.

Thanks! I like the look, so been on a Nismo kick this week.

Update The car is finally in the western hemisphere and making its way down the pacific coast of the US to Panama. It should be here in Houston January 17th, if all goes well. in the meantime, I've been collecting some items I know I'll need. All shipping in over the next two or three weeks. NEW Nismo Omori Factory Spec LMGT4 18x9J and wheel nuts USED Nismo intercooler which needs a little fin-love and a good cleaning, but otherwise looks to be in good condition. Will pressure test after it arrives. (also I will secure the new Nismo piping later) USED Vintage style Nismo wheel, which has been re-trimmed (needs a new hub) NEW Compression test kit and a few other new tools. NEW NGK Iridium spark plugs NEW various fluids and filters (Nismo S-Tune panel air filter, aftermarket fuel filter), as well as Redline oil and fluids for a full fluid change including transfer case and ATESSA. Also, Justin at JDM Friends in Houston (helping me with the import) received a package in the mail from the broker with heaps of maintenance records and install manuals for several after-market items on the car, including: Ohlins coilovers Nismo suspension parts (control arm, etc.) Trust/Greddy exhaust I didn't know it came with the suspension pieces and coilovers, so that was a great surprise! I'll get the actual docs from him when I return home this weekend, and see if more detail can be gleaned without translation. More later. Looking forward to the arrival and a chance to look more closely under the hood. I'm hoping to find other happy surprises like coil packs and other small refresh items. The suspension and maintenance records are a good sign.

I like that red one, djr81. Will think about it.

It's that very American naive optimism, you know. It's in my blood.

djr81, I'll think about the red, thanks. Got a specific color code suggestion? My first 240sx was that wine red color that came stock on the R32 as well.

Burger - thinking that exact color with LP2 and either silver or bronze wheels. It was an "R" and I debated on it for a long while, looked at several, but the price is good it was a single owner and comes with a stack of maintenance records. Only real risk is frame damage, and we'll find out soon enough. Given the prices these days I wanted to make the bet.
