Wow nice find :shock:thanks! I still don't know how to search in yahoo JP.

But, as a Heath said, he got one for me. :thumbsup:

Now i´m looking for the rear side markers, badges, the hood release pull knob (I´ll try the 280ZX one), and the rheostat dimmer knob (I saw one in ebay intended for the B210, and it seems to be the same).

The hood release knob is the same as a 610 I believe. Probably matches some other stuff too but remember they often get swapped for universal ones or ones off other cars.

Mates today was a great day, Heath yesterday gave me a clue of a trim that I found a few days ago, so I did a better search at the Nissan dealer and found a complete 72 grill and headlights trim.

Looking at the microfiches, i found that this grill was produced until july '72 and the one that my car has was produced from august '72, but I don't care that is does'nt match, is complete and is going to be installed on my 230.

I also found a pair of 910 Bluebird powered fender mirrors, now i have two pairs, one for my 910 and the other for my 230, there was also a 330 fender mirror, right side.

As I found this grill, I'm gonna need the emblem, I have the emblem housing. I found these emblems at ebay, does anybody know if they fit, i was watching the Mark's 240C but the emblem does not look alike.

Full NOS grill. Lucky bastard!!!

Just looked through all my pictures looking for EXACTLY that grill (I cannot believe how many grills 230s came with). This is the best photo I found of the emblem.

Hi Camilo!

Those badges from ebay will work and yes they do look a little different to mine. You have the metal bucket, good, you'll need that.

A NOS 240C grille OMG, that's fantastic! :hail: Lucky boy!

(PS, don't let Mitch see this one! :lol: )

HAHAHA it's true i'm a lucky bastard... I know!! there's too many options, I also found this chromed trim, so I have another option, but the headlight and the assembly must be a pain in the ass to find them.

Hi Mark, I do have the metal bucket, in fact I have 2 of them, and at the Nissan dealer I saw at least 10 or 15 more.

:lol: :lol: I suppose Mitch is gonna see it at any time in Facebook, he is gonna have a heart attack.

What do you like the most? the red one badge or the black one?, my car is going to be ivory white and the interior is black...

I like the red one Camilo, I think it will stand out more, and you could carry the theme through the car, red leads on the engine, a thin red strip on the sidewall of the tyres, red stitching on the seats.....little bits like that maybe???

Either one will be excellent on that new front grill. :thumbsup:

I agree with you Mark the red one will stand out the most.

Mitch i'm pretty sure it will suit, but if it does not be sure you will be the chosen one hehe. Sadly there are no bumpers anymore.
