Summer before last I replaced my series one dash with a nice un-cracked one. I was delighted, until a small crack developed dead center at the windshield and began its slow march outward. I was not pleased. I was envisioning slow disaster. I noticed that when it was cool in the morning that the crack was wider and as it warmed up the crack would close. So I waited til it was warm but not completely closed and used some super glue gel on it and let the warmth close it the rest of the way. It has been 2 1/2 months and the little monster seems to have stopped and the glue is hardly discernable. This is of no use to the large established gashes but seems to have cured thi…

Hi, Took my '70 240 for a spin last night, and cool air came out the center vent, while the heater was on! I assume there is a adjustment on one of the cables, as the heat came out both the defroster and lower heat vents, but as I drove on the hwy, the cool air came through the center vent. Any ideas where I should look first? Thanks in advance! Bob:squareeye

I just got out-bid on EBay on a set of "original 70-71 240z" floor mats. They are tweed, with the word DATSUN on the drivers' side mat. I have seen the rubber ones with 240Z and just DATSUN on them, but never these. Were these original early mats? Pics attached. Maybe 26th knows... thank you in advance

Hey, I am considering having my interior redone. I am in the process of removing the tar from my interior and fix minor rust spots and then have it paint with por-15 before I take it to a shop to have the custom carpet kit install. I am planning on having the interior installation done at Z car garage in San Jose, CA. My current question is that I had a quote over the phone for around 1k and the fellow said that for that price the work includes: tar removal (which I am doing so I can get it painted with por-15), sound deadening installation on all the panels including doors, and then laying the carpet kit over it (price varies depending on which kit, however the one I…

Dash Removal Help 1 2

Anyone done this? I removed the trim piece near the windshield (5 phillips screws), the 6 10mm bolts at the front of the dash, the 2 10mm bolts into the console area. Both vent handle mounts and the steering column bolts. Don't think these really matter, just did them in case. Seems like somethings still holding the dash in, any ideas? Thanks in advance............

Well this afternoon I picked up used Recaro seats and this evening I pulled out one stock datsun seat to do a test fit. As you can see the pictures they are similiar in size to the stock seats, just a tad wider and a tad taller not to mention a helluva lot more side bolster and the fit... well honestly not that bad at all... i'll need to fab a new bracket but fit is pretty close all in all it doesn't hit on the door or on the console but I do have a rollbar that it sits up against if I recline it a lot. My wife has given the passanger side her approval so I figure I'll fab up what I need this weekend if I get the time.

I saw Tomohawk's thread on 280z replacement seats, but I have searched for advice on comfortable replacement seats for the 240z with mixed results. Thought I would ask the question in a specific thread. I am aware of Miata and Acura seats as options, are there other options (other than racing seats) that would work? I am looking for better comfort and support than the standard 240z seat. Thanks, Stephen

I just bought a pair of 98 Integra GSR black leather seats for $240 and installed them. They fit perfectly, look like they belong on the car, and the stock seat belts are still usable without modification. Removing the GSR seat rails was a bit of a pain due to the many spot welds that I had to drill out. Once I got the seat rails off I installed two pieces of steel flat stock 1/8" x 4"W 18"L across where the GSR seat rails used to attach at the front and rear of the seat. Then I bolted the Z sliders to the flat stock after a test fit in the car. The GSR seats are much more supportive especially in the lumbar area. Miles

I had a half-broken dove tail on my door when I got my car and took it off, the passenger side never had one. My doors close well and never seem to have any problems ... so why are they part of the door? I'm putting together a list of things that need replacing on the car and want to know if these are something to drop 20 bucks each on? Thanks for the help.

I found a lot of information about door seals (weatherstripping) that can be purchased at jcwhitney, but what about the inner and outer hatch seals ( 72 240z). Has anyone found anything that works from jcwhitney? Oh, and the outer rubber window seals (the ones that keep the water from entering the inside of the door itself). Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks
