If you are rebuilding a 2002 or e21 or any old Datsun you should already know Murray. He will most likely have what you need at a price. 

Trailing arms are the same as e34 

I'm going to be selling my one as a race car project soon. 

Where are you? 

There is a guy on old-school.co.nz doing a swap athe moment and has some good info. 

Go have a look in the other projects section 

Im not in a situation to buy but would snap it up if I could.

Good luck

what's the details on the motor? is it a pfl or fl motor also kms?

Air controls and mirrors say it's a facelift

So I brought a ute 18 months ago. 

It had a plate on it. 

I replaced the plate when I sold the ute as the plate was going to go on my e21 as it's kind of shark related. 

Do I not own the plate that was sold to me on the ute. Do I need to get the old owner to sign the form for the JP? 

The way I'm reading it I need to get them signed over. 

Thanks.

How much do you usually charge for a full set of Brembo calipers? 

About 125 for all four, but I'll say between 100 and 150. 

I'm waiting on parts to repair the  blasters pump from the UK at the moment, will be a couple of weeks before I can get any thing done. 

They look real good. I'm a big fan of proper paint on calipers. Seen tomany Rattle can jobs turn to s&#t. 

Just a FYI for next time. I could have valour blasted those calipers in about an hour. I have even worked out a way of cleaning up calipers complete sealing off the piston, seals and banjo holes so none of the blast media gets in and is not damaged in the processes. 

Hi Kris. 

they are a simple mechanical fuel pump on the side of the block in front of the distributor. My one had been removed and a simple facit pump mounted in the engine bay as a replacement. 

this one looks the same but you will  need to find out basic fuel requirements.

simple hook up, but they are noisy. 

also go and join the e21 nz Facebook page. 

and photos we like photos 

have you tried the 2002 Facebook page?

a guy on the 2002 nz page had a look at it a few days ago and posted up some pictures. sills are completely gone. interior is covered in mould, meaning it's been full of moisture, he was unable to open the boot and judging by the rest of the rust I would say most likely rusty as well. the firewall is rusty as is the inner guards. 

it will need a full blast and assess what needs to be done. 

a few bits of rust is an understatement. 

try the 2002 Facebook site. Brett Taylor is the creator.

How's your experience with Rockauto been? I have honestly never used them. They are very popular in the US, but I feel a weird loyalty to FCP Euro.

I have only usee them a couple of times and have been happy. 

I have mates that have rebuilt cars almost exclusively from rock auto. 

I also know of a brake and clutch shop that buys caliper rebuild kits for stock from there. 

have a look at rock auto. prices are good you can probably get the important parts through them. 

quick freight also. 

do you know if it's a tu motor?

I'm tempted to put my m52b28tu crank in it. 

is it a auto or manual motor. 

I have a dme  for a manual ish any one wants it. 

try the 2002 face book page also. 

as a last resort try murry  Fullerton down in papakura. 021 978 254. he has 5 ish 2002. everything's for sale but he knows what stuff is worth and charges accordingly. 

a guy in the e21 world brought a set of flares from him and scraped them due to the poor quality. 

grab something hard plastic, a screwdriver handle works well. or nilon. and run it over every corner and edge. if there are air bubbles in the glass they will most likely be in there. you will need to use good pressure as he may have used a thick layer of gel and you want to break this to expose the air pocket. you should not scratch it but if you do, it will be minor and you have to prep to paint any way.

A very good friend of mine specializes in rust repair and recertification. I can put you in touch if you'd like. 

i will be needing the help of a rust certification inspector for the e21. 

is he shore only or will he travel to teh dark south 

i think you already know what to do and answered your own question towards the end there  

I have a pair of headlights that were a failed attempt to retro fit. You can have both for 40 bucks. (must take both) +postage 

note- once i got them side by side it was very obvious that the retrofit would not work so they were never pulled apart. 

yes it will 

but it will most likely not last long 

Thanks for teh lights. 

Have yet to check but i do hope that i have not ended up with two RH projectors haha 

why has your 325 got a b20 in it. Would you not be wanting to put a b25 back in?  

or are you racing in the 2.0l BMW class ??
