Field trip to Nissan Parts today.

Saw the 400Z (Z car) automatic pushing upper 50's with $3800 paint protection.  Gotta admit it's not too bad looking. 

Scratch my head - if you plug in the old Datsun part numbers you can pull up parts and order them.  

Nissan still can get you an air filter on a 52 year old car?  Kinda interesting Datsun fans.

You know the one thing they don't have, and nobody makes a decent one, is the white, probably asbestos, L series manifold gasket.

That's impressive, especially when you consider that I couldn't get a cap and rotor for a 1988 CRX Si from the Honda dealership ten years ago.

Can still get a windshield for a 68-70 Roadster. Key is order it at a dealer, if it arrives broken, not your problem.

that's reassuring. I remember an Octane magazine buyer's guide for the 240Z from the early 2000s saying most parts are still available, glad to see that's still the case.

Maybe they should advertise that fact like Mercedes does for their heritage department.

52 years from now that would be going across the block at Amelia Island, even in that condition...

Needed a filter - bought three @ $4.88 each + tax.  Crazy world.
