First,
there are at least a couple of dozen ways of doing a
webpage. It will look different on every one. Your
screen resolution, your operating system, the size of
your monitor, your available fonts (typestyles), how
big you like things to be easy to read; how big you
normally have the "pages" on your screen. We have
taken a middle of the road approach.
Your
browser will have an adjustment to make the type look
bigger or smaller. That is an easy adjustment you can
do to make this website look better to you. You may
find you like using your computer better with the
screen resolution changed as well. Manufacturers have
to set it at something; your computer will allow you
to adjust it to your liking.
If
you see something on the site that appears definitely
wrong or not working; PLEASE let me know.
Thanks!
It
may seem complicated at first but I set the website up
to be easy and people seem to like it as it is. We
update it quite often and I think it will become even
easier over time. I wish I could just stop the rest of
the work around here and go full time at finishing it.
Not like in 1981 when I could just skip a night's
sleep working on the catalog whenever I wanted.
The
most important aspect of roadster parts ordering is
knowing that the year you think your car is; that the
title says it is; can easily be WRONG.
Please
see "Year
Your Car Really Is";
otherwise you may get the wrong parts.
Anytime
you order parts; include your "vin" (vehicle
identification number) and engine number to guarantee
you get the parts your car would have had when it left
the factory. Please see "Identifying
Your Car"
if you need help finding those numbers. We will then
keep them on file in case you order again and are away
from your notes. Be sure to let us know if your car
changes or if you have more than one car.
This
still does not guarantee the parts will match any
"modifications" that have been done to your car to
"improve" it or to save the previous owner money. Many
roadsters have become "omelet cars". We only have the
knowledge of what your came with from Nissan. Reading
the "Year
Your Car Really Is"
page will provide a lot of information to figure out
some of the things that are wrong with what your car
is supposed to have. Be sure to let us know if you
know your car is modified.
There
is a NEW PARTS index; a USED PARTS index; and also an
"ODDS and ENDS" list of NEW parts that are unique in
some way; example: We might just have one of a set of
the part; the part may have a component missing; etc
etc. Blue Link Buttons to these three areas are on
most pages.
All
prices are "each" unless specified
otherwise.
If
it says "1 of 6" that means the price is for 1 of the
items but the car has a total of 6 of the item.
Click
on any underlined and/or
blue
part numbers to see picture and sometimes other
information.
Lack
of picture indicates LACK OF TIME not lack of
parts!
If you need a picture posted just email and we'll get
one up. If you are just plain having difficulty
finding a part; drop me an email. You may be able to
also call and get an answer; sometimes that is
possible sometime not. I usually check emails every
few hours most of my waking hours and on most
weekdays, weekends, even holidays. (That's often when
people have their cars apart!)
Pages
for one individual part will not have a price on it.
If you go to an individual part page first you have to
go back to the section page to get prices. (CLUTCH,
BRAKE etc)
Many
section pages (clutch, transmission etc) have a blue
link button for a SMALL PARTS page; there you will
find washers, bolts,clips etc for that
section.
All
descriptions and fit information is for a USA LEFT
HAND DRIVE CAR unless specified otherwise.
"LEFT"
and "RIGHT" This is determined by looking at the
part as if you were sitting in the driver's seat of a
USA (left hand drive) car.
USED
PARTS PICTURES
If
the used part has a part number that starts with DU
(DU17-4 for example); any picture or information given
will be for THAT specific part.
If
the used part has a "normal" number like 172-10; there
may be a picture of a few of the part or there may be
a suggestion that if you need to identify the part in
question to look up the NEW part and look at its
picture.
Unless
the part has a "DU" in front of it; the picture would
be of just any available SAMPLE of the part; which may
have been sold 15 years ago. Used parts like these are
usually just run of the mill used examples where
appearance probably isn't a factor. Where appearance
IS a factor we photograph each used part and give them
specific DUxxx-xx part numbers.
We
use a form of shorthand to describe different model
years of cars on some of the pages. It may seem
awkward at first, but you will probably find it makes
it easier to scan lists for things that fit your car.
This list is also shown on each parts category page.
Applies to TRUE YEAR of car not what may be on your
title. INFO
