   So I sat in my passenger side seat, pulled the lap belt across and now it does not retract. Anyone know how to fix this? It was working fine before. I did unbolt the contraption to hide some wires, and then I bolted it back in. Did I mess something up? Thanks, Wilson

   I saw a couple of old posts on this, but nothing real definitive. Does anyone know how much surgery is required to install ZX seats into a 240? Thanks.

   How to clean the console 1 2

   So I have been reading for an hour and trying to find a thread on someone cleaning their center console...No luck. I have a nice console but it is looking a little tired. I'm thinking the sun has faded it a little and it looks dirty even though I washed it with mild soap and water. Has anyone successfully cleaned their console, making it look good again? or is the secret to spray it with trim paint? I appreciate any feedback I can get. Cheers, Chris

   I could be totally wrong on this one, but this looks to be a compe steering wheel from a sport package on a j-spec Z or it could be a 73 240 steering wheel. If anyone could help me on this one I would appreciate it. That would be so awesome if it was the compe. -Ben

   How to straighten bended door panel etc.

   I got door panels that are now in quite good condition BUT passenger side panel has bended from front so its hard to install. I was thinkin that heat might have done that, cause the vinyl is ok. So is there any nice way to bend it back? re-heat vinyl or something? I'll add pictures asap. I'll also need good advices how to remake those brushes () that are in top of the door panels.

   240z Dash Cover

   http://www.thezstore.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=DC As we all know, the older Z dashes were prone to cracking. So, we either cover it up, or refurbish it. I came across this in the Z Store, and I was actually quite interested. Has anyone seen a Z with one of these on? Or have personal experience with one? If it could be possible, it'd be great to see more pictures of the dash with one on. Thanks everyone!

    kick plate refurbish

    Hello again. You guys will know the best way to do this I'm sure:). I have removed the kick plates (aluminum with Datsun stamped on them) from the rocker panels. I have washed them with soap and fine steel wool. They are coming clean but still need help. Also I have not been able to get the little grooves cleaned. I have tried a buffing wheel on my dremel and that just left a black streak. What is the best way to refurbish this part?? Harry Original owner 72 240z

    1979 280zx Headliner

    My tan headliner dropped. How do you re-glue it. It has this foam powder on the back - like it was foam rubber at one time? and disintegrated to powder??? I would assume I would have to brush it all off the hardboard and the vinyl before using contact cement? But then I wouldn't have that supple look -- with nothing between the hardboard and the vinyl... What would I use for the inbetween layer? Anyone have any ideas about using a nicer looking vinyl? or must I use the old vinyl because it is form fitted...

    My brother has a 2004 WV GLI which has great recaro seats stock. I measured his seats, and amazingly they are within 1/2 inch in every dimension that matters. Brand new seat pairs have shown up on ebay for a pretty good price: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/VW-2004-2005-Golf-Jetta-GLI-Recaro-seats-NEW-w-airbags_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem45e9bef9b8QQitemZ300274350520QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_500wt_942 Has anyone tried fitting these or similar recaro seats? (my brother tells me that some sport version of the Chevy Cobalt used the same seat.) Geof
