Does anyone by chance have a key blank "gun" that cuts the OEM oval key by dialing in the OEM key number stamped on the OEM key? The local dealer here no longer has theirs.

Ok i need help installing choke lever on center console. Solution must be simple but i just couldnt figure it out. So there is 2 places for screws in choke assembly but i couldnt figure out their place in center console. Previous owner had drilled hole trough center console and there was long screw holding it (barely) in place (see picture) Every time i use choke, i can feel the center console snapping because of the screw. I think that is not correct way. Also center console has been cracked near that area ( i got that fixed but it'll barely last) Thanks already

Hey everyone, I recently ordered reproduction plastic panels that are part of the interior. The set that includes the speaker panels by the wheel wells, the dome light, the quarter windows and the rear brake light cover. I just got them today and was unpleasantly surprised to find that the butterscotch color that I ordered was nowhere close to the original. The butterscotch vinyl parts that I ordered were the original orangeish color but the plastic panels were beige to tan in color. It is obvious that the color is painted on as the back sides are black. I got them from Datsun Spirit and they were great to deal with but this is not acceptable. I have several questi…

seat restoration 1 2

I am in the process of restoring my 73 240 seats. I purchased new covers and foam. My seats had been apart before and some fabric stitched into the center sections. I have two quick questions: 1) Is the 1/4" foam glued to the seat back original? 2) Does anyone have any suggestions what to use in place of the sisal/hardboard that protects the foam from the springs on the seat? Mine has broken down into a nest of fibers. Thanks; Ted.

I was given a 260Z seat yesterday that matches the patina of my very good original passenger set. My drivers seat is in real bad shape. My "new" seat is a passenger seat that I believe I can switch to my drivers seat's rails. I have some "dents" in the seat of my "new" seat from something sitting on top of it for awhile. Has anyone been able to "fluff" up the foam to get the covering looking good. Or, will time and warmth make the vinyl and foam spring back? I have it inside the house right now and it looks like it might spring back - maybe wishful thinking!

Hello all. I am trying to find the name of a specific piece i am missing. It is the part right under the glovebox. i can tell i'm missing something there because i see where the screws would theoretically go in should i have that completed panel. once again its the part that would go under the glovegbox but above the passenger legs (of course). Thanks

In my 78 I was digging around under the rear deck compartment a while back and found an old breaker bar and the original tool bag up behind the seats sticking out of one of the tool box openings behind the passenger seat, but there is no cut out for a hatch in the deck or in the carpet. Ive been looking for confirmation that Datsun quit installing the boxes in later z's but I can't find any help. Is this the norm? And does anyone know where I could get a kit to install the boxes? In my old 75 280 back home it has the metal lids and everything so i was confused when there werent any on this 78.

Ok guys, before you guys start using that "search" word hear me out. I bought my 72 240 a while back and it is missing the right side door panel completely so I was searching around trying to find one and getting really discouraged when I couldn't find any new replacements (when I say new I mean manufactured in the past few years not NOS) that didn't cost as much as the car. So I got to thinking (I am an engineer after all) of ways to make new ones. I thought of fiberglass, fiberboard and various other materials. Making them in this manner would be fairly economical for making one but that doesn't help out the Z crowd... My thought is to have some thermoformed (plasti…

In a 72 240Z can the headliner be installed without removing the windshield and side header parts? My headliner has to be replaced, but my headers are in good shape and I want to avoid destroying them to get them off the car. Thanks Miles
