Draker Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Datsunlandsocal (not great quality..) Thailand rubber on ebay.. quality to be determined.. Vintage rubber With that... you can do some research and see what is best for you. 1 Quote Link to comment

Stewiefied Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 I have Datsunlandsocal.... it's ok at best but not the worse I've seen 2 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Sunpha is an OEM nissan supplier. They are thailand seals.. but they are OEM. Not sure if they are the same as say... what was for the USDM market. I have some in my garage. They aren't installed.., but they seem like they are of decent quality. And they are cheap. We are talking under $300 shipped from thailand for a 4 door dime. 1 Quote Link to comment
67_1600 Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Datsport in Australia too. I got my stuff from Datsunlandsocal, but I've heard good things about the Datsport stuff. Just be sure and get a shipping quote before placing an order :thumbup: http://www.datsport.com/rubber-menu.html 1 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Kind of hard to tell from this picture... but does that label look familiar? It's the same as seen on OEM nissam products. Had the part number too.. 1 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 I've only heard good things about Datsport. 2 Quote Link to comment
paradime Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 I got mine at Rod's Discount Datsun Parts in San Jose Ca. I got the California (no stainless trim) window seals and in the first year the corners split on the rear window. From what I've heard, Datspot Au has a much better product. 2 Quote Link to comment

Colbino Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Datsport or Nissan is the best way to go if you don't want to have to deal with replacing seals ever again. You can also get some here: http://www.new-datsun-parts.com/datsun-510-parts-rubber.html- but he's a little pricey. Chances are though if he has inventory then you can probably still source them from Nissan on you own. A lot are NLA, so it's best to call a Datsun friendly parts dealer (Courtesy Nissan in Tx.) and some others which more peeps on here are privy too. fender You can also hit up http://www.carpartsmanual.com/#ManualsMenuand get the PN to try and order them on-line from here: http://nissanparts.cc/parts/?action=oePartSearch&siteid=218242&make=Nissan - Not very accurate though as the site leads you to believe the part is available only to get an email later stating it's NLA. Yes, stay away from Datsunlandsocal unless you absolutely need a part you cannot source anywhere else: i.e. fender to body seals. Keep an out on the Datsun site's classifieds - Here, 510realm, NWD and also ebay and CL. Happy hunting. Quote Link to comment
qwik510 Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Datsport or hold out until you find NOS Datsun seals. They are expensive but they show up from time to time. Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 The ones you need to be absolute quality are the front and rear glass. They see the most weather and will be damaged the quickest. Door seals.. and all that.. if they fit, they should be just fine. NOS seals if you can find them will run you $1000+, unless you get them from the dealer(good luck). That's madness.

Jesse C. Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 I traded an OEM rear seal to a friend of mine and it still split on him. So, OEM is not fool proof 1 Quote Link to comment
toylet Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 The smooth rear window seal is less prone to split. 1 Quote Link to comment

Draker Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 He had heart attack and died Fuck.. Sorry to hear that. I mean, some of the stuff he sold was total crap. But he also sold some stuff you just can't get anywhere else. That loss will be felt in the community.. RIP Quote Link to comment

Had the part number too.. Hey draker, I just brought the "eBay" 4 door set. I've been researching this for a few months now an it seems like everyone is getting them from Thailand.??? I might be mistaken but..... The packageing, markings and label looks identical to what I Recieved. Hope they work out! 1 Quote Link to comment

The packageing, markings and label looks identical to what I Recieved. Hope they work out! Sunpha is an OEM rubber supplier. I haven't installed yet, but they seem quality. Plus they are door seals, they won't see much sunlight. Quote Link to comment
Z23T Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 I saw this pinch weld weather stripping on The Realm the other day and thought it was a cool option. Scroll to the bottom of the page to see them. http://www.the510realm.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=26269&p=257511&hilit=1120A111#p257511 Quote Link to comment
