Spoony Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Hi, im in the LA/Las Vegas area for 10 days in the beginning of November. I´ve seen the Z-Store is not that far from LA, are there any other shops i can visit? As we have only a few 260Z (maybe 5-10) in Germany, its hard to get the parts without big shipping costs. I bought a 1977 Caddy Eldorado and will ship it to Germany after my vacation, so i have some space in the car for my Datsun parts. I need parts for my suspention, brakes and interior stuff. Im droping a RB26 in my Datsun, so if you have any more shops for me it would be really helpfull. Are there any RB of V8 swap Datsun drivers in the LA area?

raven12 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I believe McKinney Motorsports is located in Murrieta. Which isn't all that far from LA. They have a lot of RB into S-chassis parts avaialable. Might want to stop by and check it out. McKinney Motorsports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianZortiz Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 you could visit beta motorsports it in La Habra, CA. Like 20-30mins outside downtown LA, I think he might have some suspension parts to sell you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluDestiny Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Definitely visit beta motorsports, John would know the places to go and they are 15 min from MSA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 Datsun Parts LLC is also close to LA. Any more ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 SpoonyThe shops mentioned are all very close if you stay in the Anaheim or Anaheim Hills area of Orange County.Datsun Parts LLC and McKinney are " inland empire" area, and you can visit both in a day.Beta Motorsports and Motorsport Auto are very near Anaheim, maybe 15 minutes either way. If you have Viber or Whatsapp, send me a PM, and I can talk. I get sick photos from my buddy near Oberhausen regularly that way.I will likely be in the Philippines at that time, otherwise you could stay at my place and store your hoarde of parts till time to ship! If you get a list, anything you could want is here for your automobile. You just have to drive around a bit to get it! It is not like driving in Germany...

Spoony Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 sounds good! will contact you anyways, need some good bars/clubs to go out in the evenings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I can help with that in Bangkok, Pattaya, Chonburi, Ban Chang, Lat Phrao, Manila, Lucena, Angeles City, Olongapo, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Okinawa, Taipei, Kaoshung, Tao Yuan, Saigon, Johor Bahru, Malacca, Singapore, Sydney, East Morrisset, Shanghai, Gebeng, Amsterdam, Utrecht, Milan, Merseyside, Liverpool, Manchester, Holyoke MA, Buffalo Ny, or even Champaign IL... BUT IRONICALLY NOT WHERE I I HAVE A HOUSE! That may change now... But where taxis flourish I can drink. Taxis don't like to take a big drunk guy out into the countryside for some reason...

clutchdust Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 What suspension parts are you looking for? I happen to be in Las Vegas with a complete 280 suspension if you're interested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Las Vegas is about a 3-4 hour one-way drive from the Orange County area... Depending on when in November you arrive, there may be a Land Speed Racing Event going on at ElMirage. It's on the way to Vegas (coming and going)!

Spoony Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 We will arive on the 1st of november, i think its a Thursday. Will go to Las Vegas until Sunday, then back to LA untill Saturday. Can i use the 280ZX suspention on my 260Z? Can you post some pictures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I don't think he has a 280ZX suspension, remember we got a 260Z with an L28, and called it a 280Z!It was around from 75-78, and the introduction of the 280ZX. You in Europe only got the 260Z from 74-78, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
