Sparky Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 I cannot believe what I just heard. I have been searching for some parts for a gentleman in japan who asked me to help him out. I finally get a break and think i found a company in NJ that has three of what im lookiing for. I call and i call....never getting a call back, then today, somebody answers: Hello? ummm...yes i was referred to you by company X that you might have some parts for my datsun. HA HA ha ha....(silence) umm..whats so funny? We scrapped all of our datsun inventory. so your looking in the wrong place. but company X told me...(interupted) company X sees inventory we dont have. nissan (!!) told us to trash all of our datsun parts. and thats what we did. oh..thats odd, Do you know where they went? Can i buy all your surplus? NO you CANT, its sitting in a pile in some junk yard im sure. oh, ok...thanks i guess... (click!) W T F ? that is just plain stupid, Why would a company with a suposed care for heritage scrap all datsun parts? this is pissing me off to no end! Im just not understanding. Not only does it piss me off, but now i look like a jackass to my JP friend because i told him I found his parts! now what do i tell him, He has helped me many times when i need something....and now i just cant come through. Excuse my rant....but this is pure B.S. !!!!!! BAH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudge Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 That is strange... Scrapped is the correct spelling, I wasn't sure was scraped was What were you looking for exactly? I know the half shafts are like gold, and alot of other things are tough to come by as well, like hydraulic lifters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inZane 240 Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 Maybe it has something to do with the introduction of NISMO? I'm probably shootin blanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudge Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 Geez, simple little item too. They aren't willing to go to a round top setup? If that helps(?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bang847 Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 you might wanna check ebay. The flat top carbs are not a popular item. I have see a complete set with manifold sell for under 30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
