For the Nissan-geeks- Nissan Parts Packaging

[Rev_D21]

Who misses the old school red/white/blue boxes Nissan used to use for parts? Everything I buy from the dealer these days comes in that drab gray box with the Nissan hamburger on it, it's not classy it's ugly. I miss the red/white/blue logo'd boxes of yesterday. Anyone else feel like this?

The parts I get from OEM Surplus still have the old-style boxes...

Yes some OEM still comes in those old boxes, I recently purchased some rubber bumpers for the rear roll pan on my 95, those came in the old school boxes and made me think of how boring the new boxes are.

I rarely ever get parts with the old R/W/B labeling. Its all Grey and "hamburger" designed. I'll look around the whole parts dept and see what I find though, I'm curious

Love 'em.

I have a couple old OEM parts boxes from the lat e 60's (from suppliers prior to the R/W/B boxes) in my Datsun display collection.

I need a few of the R/W/B ones tho.

Most of the parts I have ordered from courtesy for my 240 come in either brown boxes or bags with the part number sticker on them. I did buy a thermostat though and it came in the old box:



Honestly, it doesn't matter to me how the part comes packaged, I throw the package away once I have confirmed everything worked properly anyway..
