Boaty Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 If people want it, they will pay for it. That's how it works. If you've got $20k into a full restoration, a $180 set of emblems would be a drop in the bucket. Your typical restomodder is going to scoff, but the people who are purists are not really going to care. They can get what they need, and the price is negligible. Link to comment
BenJammin Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 We're not supposed to be commenting on people's prices, but since it's not the Ebay seller's thread here goes ! Yeah, purists might go for prices like that but the biggest thing to remember here is that we are talking about DATSUNS ! ... not some vintage Benz, Merc, Jag, or whatever [insert elitist collector car name here] Want to see some more ridiculous prices? Try new-datsun-parts.com Sorry if the operator is a member here, but $137 for a 620 brake drum and $67 for rear brake shoes ? Really ? Link to comment

True story when I got pissed the fuck off at the outrageous prices of stuff for this car on Ebay, I hit up the dealership and everything was a solid 5-20$ cheaper. Link to comment
AZhitman Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 I'm a "purist", and a collector, and there's no way in hell I'd pay some of those prices. Realistically, there's not much in there for cars that are even on the road still... lots of those parts are '64 and older, not too many of us restoring those. He'll be sitting on that stuff for quite some time. Link to comment

Early 620 drums are at least $116 at dealers and this is the 2003 price. Link to comment

You'd fall on your ass if you saw what some parts sell for those cars sell for now a days! Makes our Datsun parts look CHEAP!! old car EQUALS expensive; That is the Reality of any old car no matter what it is! Link to comment
BenJammin Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Yes I understand the 'rarity' of certain NOS parts, but the reason I pointed out those particular items (drums & shoes) is because of the reality that I gave away perfectly good drums for free after trying to get $20 for a pair of them on Craigslist for over a month (funny how fast they go when they are free!). It also took multiple listings on Ebay to unload a new set of rear shoes, and I had to reduce the price to $12 to do it ! Again sorry to slam a possible Ratsun member's price, and maybe he moves a ton of them, but I just can't imagine a lot of people out there willing to pay that kind of money for those parts. And does it really matter if the shoes are "Made in Japan"? Like even a concourse judging show they aren't going to be taking off the drums to find that stamp are they? Link to comment
a320inMaine Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 I think the 'flipper' style interior door handles might be the same as on my '65 L320.... WOW, glad I got both of mine!:blink: Link to comment
Willdatsun Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 I would buy Japanese made brakes etc if they were not much more than alternatives, as there really are some dodgy cheap parts out there, just look at the difference between cheap and proper points , or oil filters for example.

ggzilla Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Don't recognize any of these parts. 312? 212? Datsun 312 and Datsun 212 I recognize they are early 60s Datsun sedans. Some of his prices are quite reasonable. You can't get them from Nissan any longer. Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 I've seen way worse. actually the prices aren't that bad. Anything with the old style red white and blue box is not going to be cheap no matter who's selling it including ratsun members. Besides when your the only one that has a certain piece on the market you can basically ask whatever you want. Also nomatter the stigma not all datsun owners or ratsun members are cheap. Especially with some of the really clean 521's that have been popping up this year that I'm jealous about. People will pay money for a new nos part like $300 for a uncracked 521 dash pad. nla 521 inner wheel bearings??? I tried to pay $90 a piece at the dealer and got refunded cause they just dont have them anymore and never will. But yeah. There is a guy parting out a b210 on ebay and the parts are rough and the prices are ridiculous. No I mead crazy ridiculous. http://www.ebay.com/sch/chevyss58/m.html?_nkw=b210&_sacat=0&_odkw=&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3911.c0.m270.l1313 Link to comment
