I am looking for a pair of 4” speakers for the spot below the quarter panel windows on the 78 280z anyone have a suggestion for what they have or like for that spot. I am not sure how deep it is and also looks like I can’t have a tweeter that extends past flush or it would hit the panel cover

Anyone know of a vendor for the edge trim that lines the two tool boxes to prevent rattling. I could make some basic trim edge work I suppose. Mine has been missing since Z was purchased. Thanks.

Has anyone ever seen someone make a new glove box insert out of fiberglass? The OEM unit is simply "cardboard" that is stapled and glued together with a lot of right angles and "sharp" corners. I figure that if I make a plug of the inside of the box using expanding polyurethane foam in a polyethylene film bag I could then fabricate a decent and more robust box from that. In fact, if I wished to, I could then continue to shape the plug so I could make modifications that would allow for an even deeper and perhaps compartmentalized box that would still accommodate my Vintage Air A/C lines.

The dash in my 1980 280ZX is cracked in a number of places. Do any of the overlays fit properly? What options under 2K are available?

Good evening All, All these years of working to turn three dilapidated 240s into one good cruiser has come with a lot of expense I'm sure that everyone on this forum knows what I'm talking about. But this evening I'm delighted to share with you that I have taken the first step towards recovering my investment. I had in my garage two trash-grade seats. The idea was to take them apart so the seat cushions and backrests would fit into my garbage bin. On two of them, I made a profit. Jammed between the seat cushion and the metal arm linking it to the backrest, I found money! A 1974 nickel and a 1981 dime are now safely in my possession! Finally, a return on my invest…

I have an early 77, production date is 11/76. Mine has the weird slopped rear hatch area, which I don’t like. I’m assuming this changes corresponded with the fuel tank and spare tire changes they made in 77. Nissan abandoned this slopped deck in late 77 probably because they thought it sucked too. I’d like to change mine to the flat deck but wasn’t sure how difficult that is. Does someone have a pic of the deck area on a later 77 or 78? Also my car doesn’t have the compartment doors on the little storage areas behind the seats in the rear deck. Did they stop putting those in after 76 and if so will the early 280z doors fit . Mine has the mounting holes just …

Would appreciate some help regarding the mounting of the odometer reset switch. The car is a 1973 240z. The dash has been replaced and one of the last two things to find a home is the odometer reset. It is a long shaft without threads and there are some grooves on the shaft that make me think there must have been some sort of a pressure clip. The grooves are set back from where a knob might be attached. Here is a picture of what I have. If you could take a snapshot of the mechanical fastener, or know what it is called It would be a big help. Thanks .

I have pulled my dash out of my '75 280Z to replace the heater control valves and heater core. Before doing so I tried to get a better idea of which wires that needed to be undone before removal. I have the Factory service manual and have watched several YouTube videos but none do a very good job of identifying exactly what the wires look like and where or how that can be gotten to (is it under the dash or after the dash is pulled out a little). I realize that this may be a little basic for all those who have already pulled their dashes and pretty much know what and where to find these wires. The bolts are pretty much no brainers. The speedo cable was located in an area …

Please help me identify the bottom spare tire hold down in the attached photos. (I believe the top spare tire hold down is for the 240Z.) Thanks, Keith

I removed my door latch mechanism and cleaned it up. When I reinstalled it, I realized that it wasn’t functioning smoothly. I pulled it out again and realized that the ball crank bushing was too small. After comparing it to a spare I have, I discovered that the hole in the ball crank (metal cam with hole in the middle) is larger than in the other car. I could install the spare, but it has issues of its own. Does anyone know if the mechanism changed between model years? The pic shows the spare with the smaller hole. I’ll post a comparison photo tomorrow.. If it did change, does anyone know where I can find a larger bushing? Does anyone know where I c…

Found out over the weekend that my wife's newly inherited 72 240 originally had white interior. The rear plastic panels had been covered with black cloth, the diamond vinyl and door panels have been sprayed black and the seats recovered with incorrect black covers. I think putting it back to white would be cool but after a little research it appears that white interior pieces are tough to get. Thoughts ,experiences?
