if ever i can get my hands on more than one set i will offer them up on sau for people to purchase. but until then. jast a waiting (and looking) game. im still looking for a left one also talking to importers but not getting far. im doing a tour o' the wreckers during the christmas hols, so im hoping that will prove to be fruitful. :)

i also know of someone who wont sell thiers. another wasted. they dont seem to understand how rare they are :D:)

Ok on my quest to find tail-lights i stopped in at a nissan dealer in croydon vic. and met a guy called clayton angel. he goes a bit out of his way (even tho he is paid to) to hunt down new old stock for old cars. his position is in the parts division. i talked to him today about finding tail-lights and bumper ends. bumper ends for a c210/c211 are $170 each new.

for the tail-lights i need to know the vin no. of a car that originally came off so i he can send back to japan requesting the correct part no. and then order the parts. as someone else said previously they're around $250 each and by the looks of things i think that sounds about right.

This is his work contact details for anyone who is hunting Most early nissan and datsun parts.

the email is to a toyota dealer but they sell toyota nissan and daihatsu.

Happy hunting :D

Cool. I was just at a Nissan dealer for some (bloody expensive) bushes... dont really need anything but if its NOS then it's worth having just to be all shiny and NEW. :) I will ask around in Japan for your enigmatic LHS tail light.

Take note that those are only the light units to replace stock JDM C210 lenses (no surround as shown on box). They appear to be aftermarket "tinted" lenses...

BTW, unfortunately I never heard a reply back from Yarra Valley.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
