Title: Off-the-Shelf Parts for the Diablo
Post by: BigPines on October 02, 2014, 06:30:17 PM: We all know Lamborghini used some standard off-the-shelf parts on the Diablo. This post is an attempt to document as fully as possible these parts and make it easier for us to find what we need. I really need everyone's help with this. Ideally, it would be a wiki and if someone wants to set one up, that would be great. I just figured instead of mentioning these parts in one thread here and one thread there, I would try to keep them all in one place. Other lists that may be of interest:

Off-the-Shelf Parts for the Countach (http://lamboclone.com/index.php?topic=2610)
Off-the-Shelf Parts for the Murcielago (http://lamboclone.com/index.php?topic=1516)
Off-the-Shelf Parts for the Aventador (http://lamboclone.com/index.php?topic=1768)

Again, feel free to post any information you have to this thread. I will continue to update this first post as we get additional details.

Title: Re: Off-the-Shelf Parts for the Diablo
Post by: BigPines on October 03, 2014, 01:40:25 PM: Jim, can you give me any further details on those side marker lights? What model of Nissan? Do you have a pic?

Are the 1996 Ford Thunderbird window channel strips exact OEM drop-in replacements or are they simply a part which can be easily made to work?

Thanks!

Title: Re: Off-the-Shelf Parts for the Diablo
Post by: BigPines on October 03, 2014, 05:56:39 PM: lambo_sam, could you clarify which Diablo years / models used the Hella Micro DE Fog Lamps? I have seem pictures of the SV which look like they don't use them but other pictures which look like they have them. See pics below.

Also, are you saying the center arm rest and dome light are both from the 2001-11 Alfa romeo 147, 2010 Fiat punto, punto evo, punto grande? Is this one part or two?
Title: Re: Off-the-Shelf Parts for the Diablo
Post by: BigPines on October 03, 2014, 06:20:32 PM: eddie, do you have more information on the LADA lights like a model number? It looks like they are not exact OEM drop-in replacements but they are a part being used in replicas so I have included them.

Is the airbag switch the same as the one used in the Murcielago? See pic below.

Post by: eddie on October 03, 2014, 07:18:38 PM: I must sold good 20 pairs over the years , got them from former USSR, they call it Lada 7
airbag switch should be same as Murcie

Post by: eddie on October 03, 2014, 07:42:58 PM: 90s VW 3rd brake light or 99 Audi wagon ,can be used on Murcie as well
Title: Re: Off-the-Shelf Parts for the Diablo
Post by: BigPines on October 03, 2014, 07:58:17 PM: Thanks eddie, great stuff and really helpful. I found the Audi A4 Wagon 3rd brake light right away and it looks very similar to the one on the Murcielago. If the Diablo and Murcielago lights are the same, that is probably the one you meant. However, I couldn't figure out which VW light you are talking about. Could you please send me a link to an eBay auction or give me some further details so I can figure it out?

Thanks again!

Post by: 01Lambiero on October 03, 2014, 08:21:57 PM: BigPines: I don't have pics of the Nissan Marker lights at present but the Thunderbird window channels come apart in the rear upper corner. You cut to fit and reglue as nessary.
Title: Re: Off-the-Shelf Parts for the Diablo
Post by: BigPines on October 03, 2014, 09:09:26 PM: Thanks for the clarification Jim. I assume those window channels would work equally well for any of the other replicas right?

Are these the right Side Markers? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nissan-300zx-Side-Marker-Lights-Front-Rear-1984-1986-NICE-/321372450162?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4ad34a6d72&vxp=mtr (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nissan-300zx-Side-Marker-Lights-Front-Rear-1984-1986-NICE-/321372450162?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4ad34a6d72&vxp=mtr) They look like it and the headlights came off the same car so I'm guessing they are correct.

The small round fog lights I mentioned with the link are for the 6.0 '01.

And to clarify the dome light for the center arm rest housing cover between driver and passenger for 6.0 comes from the alfa romeo and fiat
