If anyone knows of any parts car or if anyone has a 84-86 Z31 Passenger Side Rear Tail Light, I'm looking to buy. I'm not sure if its the proper name, but I believe my "bezel" is cracked. Thanks.

Justin, just remembered you're in Enfield...we're going to have to get together sometime! I can easily pass by for the lights too, as soon as I get back from school.

LOL. I figured you might be able to help Paul. 1 is plenty. No need to be greedy. However if it's between selling them to a member or trashing them, I might take more than one.

If you have crack-proof center ones, I'd look into getting one of those as well.. what's the best way to get them from RI to CT?

Take a trip in your new Z!!!
That way you get to let Paul look it over. I guarantee you'll learn something unexpected about your car from him. :wink:

Whoa Paul, you have a stockpile of these? Do you happen to have an excess of turbo tail lights (smoked)?

I have a turbo....does that mean I need smoked ones? At what point did they start smoking them? '

This can't be good for anyone's health... :twisted:

Yup they should be smoked. 84-86 turbos were smoked and nonturbos were just red. The centerbars are different too (turbo ones say "turbo" and were either gray or smoked red).

** 85-86T were smoked... whoops! Thanks Filipe!

WELL then, this is weird. My VIN tells me it's a genuine Turbo, but my tail lights don't appear to be smoked...

Ahh, it's what I suspected. 84 didn't have the smoked option. Just 85/6.

Z bible to the rescue, yet again.

I've seen smoked on top and all clears on the bottom. I think it would look great on the black...or it would look borderline ricer...Opinions? Not to mention the clears are near impossible to locate now a days.

Ahh my bad. I had thought 84T's got the smoked tails too.

I think they look good. Greg C.'s got them on his car:

Yea, that does look pretty bad***. Guess we will just have to wait for Paul's reply. You've got first dibs on smoked ones, no doubt.

I wonder how hard it is to paint 'em? I'm sure someone has done it.

No way you take dibs on the smoked ones... you actually have the turbo. I'm just a wannabe :P
