Seeker > 620 KC Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 More from San Diego Ecology Auto Wreckers Another 620, pretty picked over An extended 620 I've never seen before And a 280 with a complete set of ST wheels that would clean up real nice. The center caps were gone, but the lugs were all there. Quote Link to comment

dhp123166 Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 I was there today. I got an entire front suspension (frame, all suspension, torsion bars, steering box) from an 85 720. The guy seems pretty cool to me. I pulled the bumper and front cab mounts, then he picked the whole truck up with his forklift & brought it over & did most of the work to cut everything off for me, and loaded it into my pickup. I might have overpaid at $200 for everything, but I didn't have to do any lifting, jacking, or crawl around in the dirt for any of it, so I was pretty happy. I had gone by on Friday and asked about the parts/quote, and it hadn't included the steering box, but when I showed back up today he was happy to give it to me for free. Seems like a reasonable guy. I was up there yesterday with my friend and my friend mentioned when I was asking about 280zx turbo parts the owner was making eyes at his son like "We are gonna take this gringo". He wanted $200 for a used turbo and $100 for the exhaust manifold. I said no and walked. The important thing to realize is that this is not a chain salvage yard with set prices, just a guy with some junked cars who will do whatever he feels like. 1 Quote Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 A 710 wagon I do believe that's a 210 circa '79 or early '80. 1 Quote Link to comment

I talked to him a bit about that. I think he just tries to throw out a high price and see what sticks. From what he told me, he wanted to sell the motor complete, hence the overly high price for the parts. I've bought other drivetrain parts from him before for reasonable prices...shrug 1 Quote Link to comment

We went over to some of the other yards in the area and ended up finding some goodies at decent prices so it was not a wasted trip. 1 Quote Link to comment

hobbes_the_cat Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Just was at Yank a Part in Poulsbo. They have a few pretty stripped 280z's. Also have a 1980 720 king cab. Complete L20b and 5-speed. Body is complete but looks like it was sitting for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment
hobbes_the_cat Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Btw they wrote on the hood of the 720: runs, fuel problems, no clutch. 1 Quote Link to comment

hobbes_the_cat Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 That's not a terrible price for zx struts these days. Quote Link to comment
captaingamez Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 From a junkyard for blown out shit thats a pretty bad price. Quote Link to comment

Yea i thought about it on the way home,i may go back and get them tomorrow.I already have a set on the 510,i just didnt want them to end up scrapped thats why i put in the effort to get them off.The cartridges were definitely shot along with the rotors and calipers.Unfortunately Ecology doesnt do 50% off sales ever.

hobbes_the_cat Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Check Pick n Pull prices, they list em all online. $55 each including the hub but no brakes. After tax and the ridiculous "environmental fees" you'll be at about $140. Stuff isn't getting cheaper. Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 San Diego, Chula Vista Ecology Auto Wreckers had quite the selection when I went this weekend. 810 Wagon with owners manual ( I always liked the spring loaded hood ornament on these!_ An orange 620 A 210 wagon I'm kinda late but did it that maxima wagon have a good center console brown maybe?

zrex Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 That use to be my prime yard for datsun parts. 15 years ago the first 6 rows were mostly z and zx cars.. Where they have the BMW's behind the office use to be row after row of datsun trucks.. I Sure miss the good old days of going to the yard and being 99% sure that you were going to find what you were there for. Now I don't even bring my tool bag in the yard with me.. 1 Quote Link to comment
Seeker > 620 KC Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Sorry gang, every 2-3 months I've barely got the time & energy to drive 100 miles (round-trip) to the yards & search and pull the parts I'm seeking. I try to informationally take pics of other Dats while I'm there and post for others when I get home. Unfortunately I don't always identify unfamiliar models correct or take note of what's left. It just isn't time or cost effective for me to go back for parts for myself or others. Thanks to those who keep me straight and point out other desirable parts left on them. If you are looking for something specific you can PM me your email address & a pic of the model with year, and I can email you if it's there when I go. FYI: I don't go often, and usually on the spur of the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment
