I dont know what you guys think of hood mirrors but I think they look pretty cool. I was looking for them but I never found hood mirrors for a S130. Anyone know where I can get hood mirrors for my 280zx?!?

 

You talking about mirrors on the underside to reflect? I don't think it would be very useful since the 280zx hood goes almost vertical when open... it wouldn't do it's job of reflecting the image of the engine.

 

Are you talking about mirrors for the underside of the hood? I hope not. Those are for show ONLY. Those wouldn't last long under the hood of the daily driver.

Or are you talking about FENDER mirrors like the Z's had over in Japan? In that case I think they look alright. I prefer the look of the door mounted mirrors though.

 

Dude are you F-ing kidding me?!? Of course Im talking about the japanese version mirrors of the Fairlady Z. The japanese model 280zx aka as the Fairlady 280Z in japan has mirrors mounted on the hood or the fender (whichever) I want to know if I can get these anywhere or if anyone can direct me to some Japanese Z parts site or something.

 

Gotta be more specific homie.... hood mirrors are mucho different than Fairlady fender mirrors I thought you might be talking about Fairlady mirrors, but you said *hood*

Sometimes you can find some Fairlady mirrors on ebay... or you can adjust the stock ones to sit on the fenders. Wa-La!

 

You can get some fender mirrors from this site:

http://www.nissanparts.cc/catalog/?section=414

 

Nice find on that site. I didn't think you could find those anymore.

 

Oh apparently that was already in my favorites I dont remember ever putting that in my favorites though

 

eeeeeeeexpensive

 

81 bones? Thas cheaper than OEM door mirrors from MSA.

 

$81 each. Nice find though. They have the 432 grill too.

 

yes but that grill is not 432 only. That is a Fairlady Z only grill. My S30 Fairlady z has that grill.

 

True. It was used on all home market S30s. Probably because of advertising most people here in the States know it as the 432 grille. Looks good regardless.

 

Yeah those are the good ol' JDM fairlady Z mirrors alright! But I noticed it said they were for the 240z to 280z but the car on the picture was a 280zx! So what? they dont carry the 280zx ones anymore? Oh yeah and theyre expensive as hell! I think ill chop my current ones off and glue them to my fenders!

 

thats Mike's (ratedZ's 280ZX in that pic. hes a member here on z driver too but he hasnt been active since he moved to hawaii.... heres his car domian site...

Dam those Enkei's on his Z are so nice! Are those enkei 92s? Does anyone know where I can get those?

 

Hmmmm I know there is this guy living in Japan...now who was that.

Oh yeah...me! I did find a great deal on one recently for someone else on zcar for cheaper than $81 each. If you are interested then contact me for JDM parts and I can locate (or at least do my best scouting) and set you up. japanz32@yahoo.com

 

Ok, thanks for the offer man ive been having toruble looking for JDM parts, Ill let you know whenever I need a part!

 

What is different from the usdm version and the jdm version?? Of course the mirrors and the rhd and lhd thing. Body panels, and interior

 

Different Badging too.

 

Yeah, no Datsun280zx badges, instead Fairlady 280Z!

 

also bumpers on the 79 to 81 bumpers they didnt have that extra nub on thier bumpers.....

 

And that looks so much better too without those on the bumpers. Much cleaner.

 

There were also 2.0 Liter cars in Japan too. Got the L20 I believe. badged 200ZX

 

An L20?? Seems like I've heard that, but all I've seen is the RB20... like this one Z31 on ebay:
