RHD defroster vents (Preferably new, alternatively used and undamaged/unrepaired) Check
Pair of GTO snake eye assemblies (not the “fake” ones without the light)
Black handbrake handle in good condition (just the handle itself, not the entire mechanism) Check
Z15A steering rack (RHD 2WS)
Please comment with a picture if you have any of the above, parts would need to be shipped as I´m based in Sweden. Will also only make payments through PayPal.
Somewhat open to any factory GTO options, JDM/US -99 front bumper and JDM 6-speed transmission. Depending on price/condition of the parts and if shipping can be arranged.
The defroster vents are a nightmare to deal with, as these cars are all on 20+ years and the dashboard on most of them have warped somewhat causing those vents to break… It can be repaired, but it is a dashboard out job, so just be prepared for that
Thanks for the heads up
I’m aware the dashboard needs to come out, which I don’t mind since the car is pretty much completely torn apart anyway.
I’ve had the dash out a few times before and also changed the vents on one of my old cars, but that was a LHD and those vents seem easier to get. I know 3SX has the aluminium option for both but having seen those in person on yet another of my old cars, I’m not really a fan of the look.
I’d prefer just to put new ones in and if they break they break, problem seem to be even finding a set though despite looking in Japan. But I have a plastic welder to repair the existing ones so that will be plan B if I can’t find any
Hi Martin
I have new RHD dashboard vents. The snake eye lenses without lights are not fake but were fitted to North American Market. I have new lenses but not complete light assembly. The handbrake handle comes as part of the complete assembly and I don’t know of any way to remove it. Only the gaiter sleeve is removable.
I have videos on my YouTube channel that show how to remove and repair the dashboard. Also there is a video on how to replace the lenses.
Hi Joe, thank you for commenting
I´m already a fan of your channel actually and subbed since a while back, your video showing how to get the door windows aligned were really helpful after I replaced the regulators a couple of years ago!
(I´ve been with the platform since 2011, so I´m no stranger working on these, just not that active on the various forums. Currently have a -92 gto tt and a -94 gto mr that I´m doing quite some work on.)
I know the snake eyes without the light are not really fake, I just call them “fake” since the gto’s had the light up version.
The handbrake handle can be pulled off if twitching it back and forth a little while giving a firmer pull Was going to attach a couple of pictures showing it’s possible but seems I´m not able to do so.
Either way, I’d be interested in buying the vents if you please could send me a pm with price etc, and a few photos if that can be attached. The lenses could be of interest too considering being new parts
Assuming you refer to the handbrake handle. I wasn´t able to attach pictures earlier, guessing it might have something to do with me not having done enough posts on the forum, I don’t know - but I’m able to attach them now so here’s a couple of pictures for reference.
Taken today of my own cars:
1st is my MR which had an aftermarket handle fitted, 2nd is the handle from my other GTO which I pulled off just for the picture.
