After several months of searching I finally came across a set of 4 (only) L14 rods. Alot of people are unfamiliar with these rods, mainly because they were only available in selected markets around the world. Some of these markets are the UK (United Kingdom), South Africa and New Zealand.

L14 Conrods to suit LD28 and L28 Crankshaft

Valve / Rocker / Cam Cover Polishing

For the longest time I’ve always admired a mirror like shine that comes from a valve cover. I have seen many on ebay and every so often one will pop-up. The only problem is that it is quite a large item to ship from overseas and I often hear that people needs to spend time maintaining the shine.

Gavin's 1972 Datsun 240z Story So Far
I've owned this car for the past 5 years. I picked it up as the 3rd official owner. The last two owners were father and son for 27 years they had the vehicle but never changed owner names.
Its been great fun and very reliable, I've enjoyed the compliments it receives and had lots of fun in it. I plan to do a full bare metal restoration in the future, but for now I'm travelling and enjoying the joy that is youth.
These cars are becoming so rare now that I find it kind of sad to see so little on our roads anymore. They are so much fun even in stock form and they look superb styling wise.
