So I order the 50-5220 White Face Gauge kit from MSA. Today, I instal the kit on the temp/oil gauge, followed by the Amp/Fuel gauge, then I get to the Usual NON-working clock. I go to the local Value Village and buy 2) AA battery operated small clocks. I tear the smaller of the 2 down and build a battery operated clock into the Z's clock. Looks and works beautiful, battery sits back behind the fusebox area. So I tear the Tach out, dissasemble it, paint the back of the face with chrome paint, go to put the Vinyl sticker on and find it's off a smidge. So I line up the mounting holes and tweek it just enought that 0 to 1000 RPM's is dead on. The rest is off a little b…

I have completed the body work and paint, have had the engine rebuilt, and am in process of having new suspension parts (struts, springs, bushings, etc) installed this week. Also, replaced the 4 speed and R180 with a 5 speed and R200 diff. Next, much to do on the interior ... I feel pretty good about sourcing everything but the door panels. The PO put in speakers and trashed a lot of the remaining door panel hardboard. I am trying to figure out my best options. I was hoping to find some used panels with poor skins but good hardboard and just recover them. I was also looking to see if anyone made new repros, but the only option was an Ebay provider and I am not sur…

My 76 280Z's carpet was getting soaked after a long rain.I got the quarter panel all new rubber from motorsport and water is still getting in somewhere. The only thing bad about it is you can spray it with a water hose all day and it won't leak! Only when it rains. Any ideas? Also did the new rubber on the doors, body and windows. :sick:

I was going to start installing the new vinyl today, and did a quick dry fit of all the pieces. Where should I start? Should the trans tunnel diamond go on first or the piece behind it. Also, and yes I'm thinking easy......but in the rear on the strut area and wheel wells can the new vinyl go over the old?? I was going to pull it off unless it doesnt matter, I was thinking it might provide more noise buffer but didn't know if it would adhere very well....what do you think. In looking at this project I was thinking it wouldn't be that difficult, but now I'm worried I may screw up the new vinyl...any tips..... Thanks guys, Randy

I have a 1977 280Z with brown carpet. The exact color name is unknown to me. The rear is a little faded, has anyone ever had luck recoloring the brown carpet before to reflect the original color? If so what did you use (product) and the exact color you used, also any tips will be appreciated on the best process with 30 year old carpet. Thanks, Jim

I have redone (repainted and waxed) all the tire tools etc., The one thing I don't know is exactly how are items placed in the trunk. For instance I know the tire bar and the two piece red jack handles go in the bag along, but where are the wheel chocks supposed to be kept in the trunk, because all the stuff will not fit in the bag? If anyone has a picture of where everything is to be placed for a 1977 280Z I would be most appreciative> Thanks!

Does anyone have a line on a pair of the chrome door handle finishing trim pieces that attach to the door panel at the top of the interior door handles? Do they have a specific name? It seems that some of these would be floating around somewhere but I haven't seen any. Thanks! Michael
