Yep there are lots of places to get parts. Prices will vary. EEE- bay is a good resource too.

www.thezstore.com
www.blackdragonauto.com

And some forum specific sites include:

Zcar.org

Hybridz.org



There are tons of sites, and if you were looking for parts, I'd definitely scour the buy/sell/trade sections of the above mentioned forums. They usually carry the best deals.

If you're looking for higher end performance parts check out


technotoytuning.com

arizonazcar.com

otherwise everything else is either custom made, or OEM Nissan, for the most part. But when it doubt, definitely stick to Nissan stuff.

If you were down to do this, I'd definitely help you in any ways I can.

Okay. Got to work on the car for a day this weekend.

Made some progress. With projects like this, you have to take it one panel at a time. It's easy to become discouraged when one looks at the project as a whole.

So I started off deleting the OEM air cleaner, and added the intake that I used on my 240 when it was N/A. It'll work for now.

I swapped wheels and tires.

Then I started working on the tail light panel. Cut out the rust, and welded in some patches, thus beginning the adventure. I'll try to complete a section every time I return home.


Total Work Days: 2

Money spent on parts: $13 (silicone coupler for my intake)

Total cost of project thus far: $663





Here are some pictures. (uploaded in sets of 3x, continued in the next post)

OEM cold air intake






Wheels





It's a start....More to come.
