    Get your Z clock working for $3.88

    by chaseincats

    https://www.walmart.com/ip/SHARP-Quartz-Analog-Alarm-Clock-in-Black/20554638 Rip the motor and battery casing out (will require brief plastic sawing for the battery casing) and cram it in behind the original faceplate (it will fit in the can with a little finagling). Just did it and looks awesome.

    240Z Evap tank mount locations

    by Maritimer

    Not too sure if this is a body issue or an interior question but it's a little of both. Anyone got measurements and or pictures of the mounting brackets on the inner quarter panel for the evap canister? Helping a buddy out and can't seem to get the interior panels to line up, worried the evap canister be a bit crooked from some earlier repairs. Not to sure how to go about getting this measurement, maybe the height off the floor or depth from the quarter. Even some pics of a properly mounted canister from a car that's not all the way together would be nice. Got a bazillion pics from my rebuild but none of the great smelly can.?

    1978 280Z aluminum door sills

    by One Way

    I know there are new ones available but being budget minded, I would like to refurbish the ones that came with the car originally. Both are in decent shape after a good cleaning with some Scotchbrite and small brush. Just the expected slight pitting in a few spots but I would like to improve their looks. Can they be painted? Not sure about buffing them out to get some of the shine back. Suggestions appreciated. Thanks, John-Lugoff, SC.

    Butterscotch Door Panels

    by JT70

    After being absent for many years, I am rejoining the Z community. I had some work issues and then some serious health issues that halted my progress on getting my 70 240 back in shape. Before I parked it, I had the mechanicals in pretty good shape and was getting ready to start on the interior. My Z has the Racing Green exterior with the butterscotch interior. A previous owner had the door panels and seats reupholsted in a tan\cloth combo that may have looked good at the time, but (no surprise) it did not wear very well and I would like to go back to the butterscotch door panels and seats covers. I have had good luck with sourcing everything but the door panels. Se…

    78 Interior relay cover

    by AZDatsun

    I thought this was going to be stupidly simple and it probably is but where does this go. I am looking at the relays in the passenger footwell but I don’t understand how it attaches can someone take a picture of one that’s put together. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    260z original seats? How to reinforce fabric

    by Jeff Berk

    I had a pair of old seats in my 260z that I'm replacing with what I think is a pair of OEM 260z seats that were removed after minimal use. They lack the vent holes so I'm not sure if they are in fact OEM. Can anyone tell me if the 260s' seats came without vent holes? The more important issue is that the driver seat has a few separations in the vinyl fabric.These are not rips but I'm concerned that they may turn into rips because the vinyl is so old. Should I take the seat somewhere to get reinforcement for this spot? I'm assuming I can switch driver and passenger seats to even out the wear and that may help. Jeff

    Seats: what's considered restored vs redone? 1 2

    by Dadsun

    First 3 pics - This is my current interior. 4th pic: What I think a restored interior would look like. 5th pic: Two seat cover options on eBay, add in New seat foams from California Datsun, etc. But, what's considered properly restored? Take the seats I have to an upholstery shop and have them match the console cover? It is faded. I think I would be better off to get the seats sorted out first, then look for someone to dye/color the rest of the interior red to match. Also have to sort out a redo of the door and window quarter panels.

    Series 1 Steering and horn question?

    by 70z4fun

    Howdy, I was playing with cleaning up my steering wheel, and when I removed it, I noticed that there was no screws going from the horn insulator to the steering wheel. There was a spring under the insulator, and the horn works, so I am wondering if the two screws are needed? I assume it is correct that the spring goes under the insulator then the washer and then the nut? i IF I need to replace those screws, what is the size? I looked at the reproduction part that motorsport has, it has the two screws, spring and insulator. If you screw the insulator to the wheel, does it still have spring feel to it? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks Bo…

    Mounting new old seats, bolt holes don't match up.

    by Jeff Berk

    I'm in the process of putting my 260's interior back together with seats I purchased from someone that said that they came out of a 260. The rear bolts line up but the seats have a tab that tilts down at 60 degrees in the front that doesn't line up with anything. I'm likely going to just bend a steel bar and drill a couple of holes in it to make it fit. Is there a part missing or is this just a variation in seat design?

    options for transmission hump covering

    by Jeff Berk

    I'm taking my car's interior back to the way it was in 1974. It was update to red shag carpeting in the early 1980's. The carpet was installed wall to wall, or actually sill to sill. That being the case, when I installed the new carpet, I have a bare transmission hump, 1/2 wall behind the seats, and along the sills. I know I can purchase pre-cut vinyl or leather to recover these areas, but due to my combination of wanting to do as much as I can myself and being short on cash (I'm furloughed), I'd like to DIY if possible. It seems that all that is needed is some upholstery vinyl at $20 per yard or am I missing something? Jeff

    what is this interior 1 2

    by Jet

    Found an old 77 on a lot and it has this interior that I cant quite seem to figure out. The pattern was on the doors and the center console. I wanna say that I saw one similar on 'Barn find Hunter' or whatever on You Tube. Also- what about this rear bumper?

    Help Identifying a Radio

    by zKars

    Ok gang, I need a hand identifying an un-marked radio. The ID tag is missing and buttons are un-marked with AM or FM. The wiring, antenna switch, case style etc sure look like a Z radio. Thoughts? Make model Year range? Any one want it? At least for the RF Choke and fuse assembly?
