Weather stripping, NEED YOUR HELP!, send your spare parts in

Well I talked to Mike H for a good while.
And it isn't good news that some of you were hoping.

First off, he explained that tooling for them will be expensive. How expensive? the sum of $100,000. He mentioned that the pieces are not cheap to make tooling for.

He told me that he had a few hours of research into this project. There is injection molding among of other things to make them.

Talking business wise he mentioned that he can't just go into this, put up time, money and resources into making the tooling and making a few pieces. He would need a huge buy to make it happen. Realistically this is true, he can't spend all this money and sell 25-50 a year for 15 years to get a return of investment.

I understood this, which is true. He made mention of maybe a specialty Z shop like Ultimate z OR MSA to hold a group buy, put money up[ front and then they can do it.

Other alternative is he directed me to another company in washington state, they have dealt with Datsun/Nissan and he mentioned they have outsourcing to overseas which will make the product less expensive in the end.

He told me that he is sorry and that at this time it is not a wise business move to spend $100k and such a low demand product, the other thing is that his wholesalers are all domestic muscle car distributors.

The people who sent them seals will get them back. I am going to contact The other place and tell them Mike H. sent me.

I will keep this posted as this has been long time running. But I got some good inside business info and leads so all is well. Mike mentioned "we are not the only sharks in the water".

He was very helpful even though he couldn't meet our demands currently.

Next place is Precision Replacement Parts. ::tilt

Its cool your are doing this, keep up the good work!

I am already in contact with the company that Mike H. from Metro Moulded Parts directed me to.

hey idk exactly but i ran across this site and it is a lil expensive but they have alot of parts and amazing diagrams http://www.courtesyparts.com/300zx-part … _2318.html

Any chance for slicktop door seals?

I would definitely be interested in a set. It sucks driving in the rain and getting rained on = not bad it just be nice if it was completely dry lol

Sorry guys, the demand wasn't there.. got word that for the time this has been going on they had about 25 or so inquiries....
