Im new to the forum and i am in desperate need for rear quarter panels on both driver and passenger side on a 1986 300zx NT.

I have been looking around and have been unsucessful in finding anyone who will custom make them or has used rear quarter panels.

Does anybody have any suggestions on where i can get rear quarter panels at a affordable price?

 

Welcome to ZDriver!

Have you checked with Nissan? JCWhitney? Your local auto body supply warehouse? The local junk yards (www.car-parts.com)?

Is your Z31 a 2seater or 2+2?

 

its a 2 seater with T-tops.

I have called local junkyards and found a few places most probably cost 250$ a side--not too bad.

This one junk yard has 87 300zx rear panels. Does anybody know if the rear bodies are similar enough between the 86 and 87 ?

i have checked Nissan and JCwhitney--Nissan will cost a lot and JCwhitney would have to custom make it.

 

www.zcentre.co.uk is a U.K. company that sells z31 patch panels. I don't know if they still do.

 

Replacement rear quarter panels are NLA. 87-89 are slightly different that 84-86. The wheel opening flares are bigger. I have cut them out and they are a bitch due to the inner reinforcement structure. Insurance companies usually total our cars when rear quarter replacement is needed due to the extensive time and labor needed to replace them.

 

Hello there am also new to the forums...

was wondering if other from the sites mentioned above, is it also available on ebay for the parts?

 

Well, one sure way to find out would be to visit www.ebay.com It's kinda hard to tell you "yep... they're on ebay" as merchandise is always moving (coming and going) on ebay.
