R30 hatchback

[Dougy]

Hi car people. I was lucky enough to buy my Grandfather's 85 ti R30 hatchback. It has been sitting in a shed for years wrapped up in blankets. It is in Amazing condition inside and out. I have been slowly fixing little things and cleaning it.

I need to buy a drivers side headlight protector, the long front mudflats and a manual gear stick cover, mine has a rip in it from reverse. Dose anyone know where I may be Abel to get these parts. With these parts the car will be floorless except for the small patch on the passenger floor, you know.

Not sure what to do with it once its back no the road? I know its rare, manual with all electrics. Is it worth keeping? Making it a show car? Is there any money that could be made? Cheers Dougy.

Congrats on getting a nice car with family history, etc etc.  But, mid-80s Nissans are nothing to get carried away about, either as collector's items or show cars.  You will be the belle of the ball at the Nissan Wierd Beards' annual meeting, but that's about it.  None of them have more than $2.50 to spend on a car, so will expect to get yours and your stock of new-old stock spares for $1.25.

The car is so old that getting odd body/trim/internal cosmetic parts for it will likely be a ball ache.  Headlight protector?  You talking about some aftermarket thing put on by old people?  If so, piss off the other one and live happy.  Mud flaps.....?  The likelihood of ever seeing one that was specifically manufactured to suit that car is going to be zero.  The manufacturers gave up on mid 80s cars about 20 years ago!  Gear shift boot?  You could try Nissan direct.  Other than that you are looking at Amayama or the various other stockists of old new-old spares.  If it were me, I would take it off and give it to a motor trimmer to reproduce.  Take an afternoon at most.

Thanks GTSBoy. I'll try Amayama. I did find one mud flap for the drivers side, need the passenger side. I'll keep searching and waiting.

Hell'z Year'z. With the chances of ZERO!!! I scored a BRAND NEW pair of front long mudflaps. Now I'm after both headlight protectors (new), mine have small cracks in them ? and I'm still after a brown boot - gear stick cover. Cheers.
