During the 1980's there was a very large market in Australia for used parts for Japanese cars, but not enough wrecks in the yards to supply the demand, so importers were placing orders with Japanese wreckers for large quantities of parts.

The suppliers in Japan had ontly the JDM cars to supply from, so they simply filled up containers with stuff.
Of course, some of the parts were the same as ours, & some were not. I was gifted half a 1200 coupe grille for the asking when I bought a quantity of stuff somewhere. I wanted it for the GX 5 speed badge on it & since I was running a GX with 5 speed in my 1000, I put it on the grille.
It's still there. [I can't get it off]

Bits like this were turning up in these containers all the time & that's how my 5 speed came into the country, along with my 1200 GX induction.

On many occasions the Australian sellers did not fully understand what they had & a lot of stuff, like these bonnets, were sold off at the same price as standard bonnets. [sometimes not] I don't know what my GX 5 badge is worth today, but back then, it was not a standard emblem, so it was almost unsaleable, which is why he gave it to me for the asking.

My B10 'S' emblem was on an imported grille & was also mine for the asking as it wasn't a standard 'D' emblem, so nobody wanted it.

This same situation applied to all the Jap makes, but Datsuns seem to have benefited more than the others.

That is so sexy. Awesome job mate, i am loving the colour

Im getting new bump stops from Nissan, so it should align better, just got an old crappy one in there atm.
