85' 300ZX Louvers
 

Hey, I'm new to the forums, but I'm looking for all the louvers for an 85' 2-seater Z31. I'm looking for the rear hatch, side windows and front light louvers. If anyone has any of these they'd like to sell, feel free to contact me through email at pumpkinsfan401@yahoo.com. paypal is waiting, thanks, JT

hmm.. while i dont have these i have to respond... you from chicago by chance? or just a hug smashing pumpkins fan? they are coming back yah know.. started touring in europe... Bastards not starting out in their chi-town home town.... GRR!!!

oh god yes i'm a huge pumpkins fan. And i'm well aware of the reunion, I actually had the privelage of seeing them at their last show back in 2000. Funny thing is I live in NH, and we traveled out to Chicago in my counsin's 280Z. So when I was old enough, I got into the Z cars by buying an 86' turbo that I've since rebuilt, and now I'm looking for all the louvers to put on my 85' I recently purchased.

i went to the first of their 2 in a row farewell concerts... so i guess it wasnt the last show.. but w/e

We actually planned on going to that one, but we ran into a guy who traded us his 2 to the last show for our 2 to the united center show on 11/29/00 plus 200 bucks. Was well worth it.

Sorry .. don't have any (louvres) for sale either ..

I've seen the rear louvres on eBay (metal ones) quite often infact.

Headlight louvres .. check MotorSport Auto (MSA) at www.zcarparts.com

or BlackDragon (formerly Victoria British) .. I think the url is www.blackdragonauto.com ??

Thank you for the links, and yes, the rear window louver has been popping up on ebay more frequently, the light ones not so much, and I've only seen the side panel ones on ebay once that I can recall. They look beautiful on your car though (assuming that picture is your car).

i dont have any louvers myself and if i did i would sell them to you. you already have a link to MSA but its different than the one i use. the one i use is thezstore.com , i just rechecked there and they have all the louvers that you are looking for. here is the prices they have listed.

headlight louvers-$49.95 (ABS plastic)
Rear window-$249.95 (alluminum, same price for the 2+2 if you have that)
side window-$139.95 (doesnt say wehter ABS plastic or alluminum same price for the 2+2)

MSA can be more expensive than others but the Z31 doesnt have much rescourses or the respect it deserves. sometimes there is no choice but to go to MSA unless you want to spend tons of time looking all over the place for parts. i hope this helps you out.

I appreciate everyones help and links to sites to purchase these things, and i've got all of them saved. I'm going to keep searching for the louvers 2nd hand, and come march if i don't find them, then i'll just resort to buying them for full price from one of these sites. Thank you to everyone for your help and advice. Still looking if anyone has them though.

Yes it's my Z ..

I recommend the metal louvres over the plastic ones ..

Whats up man I'm from NH too! Where are you at?

I'm currently living in Pittsfield, about 25 minutes away from Concord. Currently have an 85 & an 86' Z. What are you driving?

280ZX, I live roughly 50 minutes away from you. I live kinda near manchester (30 minutes) which is where my Z is in my dads shop for the winter.
