After 38 years, we may all agree that the rear quarter plastic panels may not be as tight as new and squeaks may come from on the road. My car is original but it happened that I replaced some rivets with new repros sold by MSA but they don't feel to fit tight. Is there any remedy to the squeaks problem of the rear portion of the cabin. I have no problem at the front

Picked up a new rubber shift boot from MSA, it's actually a real Nissan part. Anyway, I have the metal ring that seals the boot to the transmission tunnel but no nuts or bolts. What type of hardware holds these parts together?

I have been tracking down and eliminating sources of gas odor in my 1973 240Z. I have replaced all of the vent hoses and the filler neck. The problem is 90% better but I can still smell a faint gas odor at times. I have been sniffing around and I think the source of the smell is from the gas cap area. I tried tightening the three bolts that lock the cap seat through the filler neck to the body to no effect. The cap looks fine and I tried bending the little tabs in to make it fit more snugly but it still smells. :disappoin Is this standard? It seems to me that the gas cap should seal pretty much 100% of the gas fumes. But before I lay out $55 for a new one I want…

I've recently bought a '73 240Z and I noticed that the speedometer has been acting strangely. The needle bobs up and down constantly and doesn't really stay still. Is there a fix?

Just got this carpet kit off of Ebay for my 76 280z. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390159139885 Having trouble figuring out where these two pieces go. Ones 22 by 8 and the other is 23 by 9 at their longest and widest parts. Also what's the part called that goes below the hatch and behind the seats. The part with the tool storage container on the other side of them. Looks like the seller forgot to include the carpet for them and I can't think of the what their called to describe it to the seller. Thanks everyone.

Hello all After months of procrastinating I finally forced myself to pull the old broken heater core out of my 280z. After removing the blower motor and it's housing I find that the hoses leading to and from the heater core are well a mess. I don't know which one goes where and how they are at all set up. I pulled everything out, cleaned and replaced. Now I'm at the moment where I need to pipe the system but I have no idea where what goes. The two manuals I have are little help but not really as specific as I would have hoped. Does anyone have any picture(s) of the plumbing down there? To and from the heater core, how they hoses go? Please its getting rather cold here in…

The '78 280Z came with a steering column cover that was twist wrapped because the screw holes were stripped out. I was able to find one on eBay and replaced it last night. I also found a new rearview mirror that was not all eaten up like the current one, but I haven't figured out how to mount it yet (haven't tried yet). The new weatherstripping goes on this week , along with some other new rubber bumpers, etc. It's coming along, but no new seats till I know it doesn't leak. The new struts and bushings are coming in this week as well . Excited Davey G

Hi, all. Not a problem, just a question. After a year of deteriorating performance, I decided to replace the turn signal assembly on my 1972 240Z. I had picked up an assembly more than a year ago from a junker simply because I figured it might wear out and would be expensive / difficult / impossible w/o trades involving first borns to replace when the time came. I'm pretty sure I pulled it out of a 1970 or 1971. I install it, the lever seems closer to the wheel than it was. Moved it back to where it "felt" right, wouldn't engage with the pins to flip off after the turn. Moved it back, which also seemed to engage a slot. It's possible I've misplaced my mind, but I s…

Hi all! My first time here! I have a '71 with seriously tired seats. I've done the seat cover kit myself, and I really need to do the foam. Are the Motorsport seat foam kits worth the $$ and effort? Is there anything I need to know before tackling them? I would appreciate any help I can get! Thanks.......

The previous owner replaced all the vinyl with carpeting in my 73 z. I am trying to go back to original with black vinyl diamond pattern. With no originals I don't even know what I need. Does anyone sell a complete kit? I know the shock towers and both sides under center console (trans tunnel)had it. Where else? Is there a list or diagram available? Was it just the vinyl or was there a backing that went with it (like a jute padding)? Is it just glued down? I did a search but didn't come up with anything for a complete kit. I did read that MSA? shock tower did not fit well? Thanks!

So while working on the heater I inadvertently grabbed onto the glove box door and broke most of it off. Does anyone know how to fix said broken door. The "Hing" is where it is broken its torn about 90%. Any advise would be great. Jan

How difficult is it to put a set of retractable seatbelts from a 1977 280Z into a series one 240Z? Are the mount points the same? I realize that the retractors will take up space, but I do not want to drill any new holes for mounting. Have any of you done this before? Thanks in advance.
