Title: Who is japanese or has japanese connections?
Post by: Geroximo on Fri, 02 February 2018, 10:31:13

Hello guys,

I need parts for my car, which were only available in Japan.
I need taillights for a 1970 Nissan Fairlady Z.
I'm not talking Datsun 240z taillights with red indicator lights, I need original JDM taillights with orange indicator lights.

Is somebody in this community japanese or has japanese connections and can source me a set of taillights?

Nice looking car :thumb:

The only Japanese member I know of is hasu (https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3412), no idea if he knows anything about classic cars though.

These? I could proxy them to you but it might be a bit expensive since I'm Stateside.

Current bid is at $261.40 USD. Buy it now price is $637.97 USD.

For shipping from Japan you're probably looking at another $50-100.

Oh wow, that's ridicolous money.
I'll probably have to talk to the guys from the DMV again and try to get a special permission for the red indicator lights. Thanks anyways!
