A couple of years ago I purchased about 300 Datsun /  Nissan brochures and press photos that were collected by an enthusiast who had passed away.  I am now starting to catalog the items and will add photos to my flickr account (https://www.flickr.com/photos/53116286@N07/albums/72157720218217481).

The collection appears to start in the early 1960's and end in the early 1990's.  There are many items of JDM models and models sold exclusively in Europe and Australia.

Models include:

Cedric

Fairlady

Fairlady Z

Silvia

Skyline

Sunny

Please visit the flickr site occasionally for new additions.  I will sell the items and pricing is negotiable.  (I have no sentimental attachment and want the  brochures and press photos to go to people who have the car or have an interest in a specific car.)

Thanks for looking.

Among my spare parts are tailgate chains.  One pair (left) have a hole in one hook and long links. One pair (right) have no hole and short links.

Does anyone know the model year(s) the variations were applicable to?

Thanks,

Keith

1966 and early 1967 520s had the 4 fuse fuseboxes, then the 520/521 harness changed to include rear backup lights, different turn signal and several other “advances”.

Grannyknot,

Do you have a similar list for the 240Z?

Thanks,

Keith

Correct size is important…correct markings on the bolt heads is important for a restoration.

Also, a copy of the Nissan Catalog may help:

Once you tear down the engine and determine what you need, please post a list.  Some forum members has parts stashes or have resources that can help you.

I rebuilt my J13 with a combination of Nissan Forklift parts and BMC B-Series parts.

Use spark plug covers and a little RTV.

Great suggestion. Thanks.

Has anyone found an aftermarket replacement for the Hand Brake Cable Dust Shields (shown in diagram below)?

Thanks,

So another question, what goes in the square cutout on top of the dash? Also what do the 4 knobs do that are around the stereo cutout?

I was wondering if the 1966 520 ever came in long bed option, or any of the 520's in general? Sorry if it's a dumb question, just curious 🙂

I have not seen any  Datsun/Nissan issued 1966 520 brochure, service manual, parts manual, owner's manual, or technical document which identifies, illustrates or depicts a long bed.  (Note, a long bed would have different parts, including tailpipe, bed side panels and electrical wiring to accommodate the increased length.

Keith

To my knowledge, all US bound 520s had the chrome grill.  Some owners painted their grill to

hide damage. (The cost of chrome game a grill currently exceeds $200, not including damage repair.)

The grill badge is missing on many 1966 and 1967 520s. To my knowledge, Datsun/Nissan did not provide a production /VIN cutoff for adding the grill badge.
