The site doesn't mention Patrol parts be I am sure they are in there also.....this really really make me mad but I see no way to fix this problem.

grrrr....it will not link to the exact page so look at Nissan Parts Dump on their homesite.....

The truth is, very few Datsun people even know about the Patrol. I didnt even know about them until I started getting into the history of Nissan to see what other oddball vehicles they've made in the past.

Roadsters and 510s are big business to these places.. There were a lot of them made/imported and a lot of people are restoring them. The biggest draw to the 510 and roadster is that they had a very successful racing campaign here in the US.. Win on Sunday, sell on Monday.

The pic at the bottom right is a huge bag of VG30 lower intake manifolds! The transmissions look like mid 80s 300zx or VG30 truck transmissions. Almost looks like a transfer case sitting under one of them.

yea...I know this John but what makes me very POed is that they are crushing good parts....Patrol parts!

I know.. they need to sell the stuff at scrap prices to someone who will do the proper distribution.. SOMEONE needs these parts. They may have an abundance of VG30 parts right now, but the older Datsun parts are impossible to find now.

yep...and try to find parts for a Patrol...it is a hellish thing to do....letters to Japan, emails around the world and phone calls to anyone who will listen! I have tried it all cept showing up in my Patrol and demanding parts!! A faithful Patrol owner will pay alot more than wholesale for the parts....I know because I get emails for parts a lot and have sold some things at a decent mark up for retail prices....WHY THE HELL DO THEY CRUSH IT.....man what a waste

OMG that is SOOOO fuhked up!

They crush their test vehicles too. If only they'd part them out!
