It also turns out that i have a complete fog lamp set up, it was all in a carrier bag that i thought was just full of wires lol, but its in bits and the brackets are bent out of shape so they'll need sorting out.

Lucky lucky find lol
You are the envy of everyone right now lol

Lucky lucky .... people pay some serious money for them ....

They do should we have a deal at £5

I can imagine, im definitely keeping them though and hope to fit them if i can put them back together tidy. I think they'll be a project in themselves lol.

Haha £5, add two zeros and ill think about it.

500 quid .... last time i saw a one come up on here was an auction bob did sure they made around 600 and that was a few years back .....

F**k me, im still keeping them though, they're cool as.

Last set I saw sold went for £300 or there abouts.
Didnt see them sell for £600 shit the bed lol

Did it include the main part of the grill?

Yer it came with the grille too but its cracked so that needs to looked at.

That's good, and looks a fairly easy fix.
Really like the look of the car with one of those on the front.

Yes the often sell for 500+ as I said before the last couple of sets from nisssn sold for £800

I think stu's pricing is from the 90's

Think they were more than that in the 90s lol
Probably 5 or so years ago.
I sold mine for £160
Havent seen any sell in recent years.
I was in a deal with someone selling one in Greece about 2 months ago but he couldn't sort shipping out and kept changing his mind on the price..

I paid £550 for mine years ago, people always give me a strange look when I tell them how much I paid.

Sometimes you have to pay over the odds ( or so it seems) but never go down in value in my eyes it's a investment. Can not remember but I got mine between £200-350 tops

These look soooooo good
THEY WILL look awsome on my freshly painted gtir

Any updates on your Car Danno? Found any more goodies?
Check inside the backs of your seats for jap history

Loads of those got binned and sold or swapped for very little back during mass import years, same as front bumper protector, no one wanted them or really valued extras like knee rests etc.
It just become the craze and a rarity liked when more standard cars and accessory collection kicked off.
They do look nice though, easy enough for creative types modify a spare grill to a similar concept.
to manufacture the plastics only would be super cheap, I done work via contract to plastic moldings factory here in bangkok that does contracts for honda and toyota parts, they could produce base plastic parts easily but doubt be interested unless an inside contact favour type job. If deal with them again or other likely moulders I will have a word, I got plastics of pod and that all need really as find lights to fit, cut and mod an under light trim to work (can buy them pattern part for n14) and wiring simple enough sort.

So after five months of trying to find a spare gearbox i gound two on ebay so i bought them both. Stripped one to find out how it all works/goes together only to find when i pulled mine apart knowing what to look for i found that it had been apart in the past and the reverse/5th selector rod was in the wrong way allowing the other rods to move hence why it was sticking in reverse and sometimes getting stuck in two gears.

Hopefully have it on the road next week now

All ready for the MOT next week

Awesome lift to have at your house

Glad it's sorted keep us posted

The mrs might not think so, but that ramp is the best thing i bought for the house so far

I probably would of sold the car if it weren't for the ramp, ive the engine and box out three times now

Its booked in tomorrow so will let you know how i get on.

Fingers crossed for tomorrow

It passed, couple of niggles to sort out, the handbrake is sticking ever so slightly and its idling at 1100rpm but apart from that im over the moon with it.

surprisingly though, its not much faster than my rx8.......yet
