Sourcing Parts
The best source of most Datsun parts is your local wreckers yard.
Datsun parts are fairly common and cheap.
In Perth, if your local wreckers yard doesn't have the Datsun part that
you need, try JapWreck
(they wreck and import Japanese cars, incuding Datsuns):
Jap Wreck
27 William Street
Beckenham 6107 Western Australia
phone: (08) 9451 6711
Adelaide-based Mad Dat Motorsport are a great source
of parts for modifying your Datsun.
I've made mention that Leyland P76 calipers can be used (see Angus'
Ford brake conversion). Adrian Spencer emailed me
to say that getting hold of P76 parts can be easier if you contact
your local Leyland P76 car club.
Ben Cameron says that the guys at OZ Developments
need a mention here. They make everything to place just about any engine
into a Datsun: twin cam, EFI, turbo, rotary, etc. They can supply engine
mounts, gearbox mounts, modify transmission tunnels, etc.
They are located
in Sydney:
2/ 9 Field Cl
Moorebank 2170 New South Wales
phone: (02) 9601 2656.
In the United States, there is a performance shop in Southeast Portland, called
USA Performance Auto,
who specialise in Datsun and Nissan performance upgrades.
Classic Datsun Motorsports are in
California, and specialise in providing parts and a restoration service for
Datsun Roadsters, 1600s (510), and 240Z.
