Congratulations, I bet if took awhile to find. How much did you pay for those bad boys. Your only missing the JDM grille now.

Came from the same guy in Thailand I bought the rear light panel from. Total was about $360 and shipping took 1.5 mo.

 

I'd say they are NOS but I'd have to pull up the listing to be sure. They don't ever appear to have been mounted and seem to just have the normal light scuffing, shelf wear, inner light rust, etc... you get with long term storage out of the package in an Asian warehouse. I have small license plate NOS rear bumpers that I bought still in the package when I was in Taiwan and the OEM chrome quality and other factors (they all get light surface rust in a few spots on the inside) leads me to believe they are NOS.

 

I actually know where to get repos of the JDM grille out of AUS the shipping is just killer. I'll get one some day.

Do not buy the repo grille from Australia. I bought one and it's a pos. You can have mine for free if you want.

That's good to know on the quality.

 

Damn, now I wish I was going to be in the Seattle area soon, 'cause I would totally pick it up anyways.

 

I'm curious what exactly is wrong with them? Poor mold quality or they don't fit?

Poor molding....and small bits of plastic they never trim off. I never try putting it on my b210 because I felt ashame and angry. It's look pretty good from far away but up close you can see the imperfection. It's nothing like datsunfreak grille though. I will take pictures tomorrow and post it later in the day. It's yours if you want it.

BrotherJO on facebook is where I've been getting my parts (Sakchai Phutrakul). Shipping is slow but cheap which is they way I would prefer. Prices are good and his description matches the product. I've been very happy with the stuff I've bought and would definitely recommend him.

Yours free, you pay for shipping etc if you want it. If you need more pictures let me know, can't really see the imperfections but it's there.

Just for documentation purposes. The 1974 front turn signal light connector is different from that of the 1975 (which otherwise looks identical) and all other years.

 

1974 (2 hot pins and a ground, one of the pins in this connector is a dummy)

1975 and later use this style on the front turn signal lights, same electrically though.
