    Tips to remove center console switches

    by AZDatsun

    What is the easiest way to remove these from the center console. I have 78 280z and want to take them all out to clean them and service them. I seems like they are stuck in there pretty good and I don’t want to break any plastic. I am referring to the row that contains the hazard switch/rear defroster Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    MSA 3 point retractable seatbelts installed on my 1972 240z

    by Johnny wick

    Just installed the pair of Msa 3 point retractable seatbelts in my 1972 240z. There are okay and rub a little bit on the neck. I will keep the original ones as i would like to restore them. I did opened a hole in the carpet and jute as the gear look better over the carpet. Any recommendations?

    Missing or wrong bolts

    by Johnny wick

    Yesterday the window of my driver door in my 240z got shifted due to slamming the door to hard. I had to remove the window crank and panel and discovered that some bolts were missing. The original window regulator works fine but some bolts should be replaced. Are they available? Who sells the hardware?

    Just Did The Honda Blower Motor Swap 1 2 3

    by rossiz

    after reading a few posts on this (most recently the great write-up by hardway) i decided to go for it. my fan has been making some pretty horrible noises - whining, screeching etc. and the output was weak. picked up a honda fan assembly for $30 on fleabay, gave it a quick clean and got myself geared up for the job. i won't go into all the details, as this has been posted before, but i will whole-heartedly validate the improvement. the new fan is quiet and blows like crazy. couldn't believe how much more efficient it is at moving air. the design is basically the same, but the honda fan has a lot more vanes, which are smaller and it's a slightly larger diameter - about …

    Unknown interior parts 1 2

    by mdbrandy

    I was looking at the pics for 240Z #476 that is on e-bay right now, and came across the attached pic of the passenger interior. Two questions: What is that big box under the dash? Something for air conditioning, like the evaporator maybe? And second, there seems to be a vinyl covering over wiring just at the end of the console - you can see three snaps on it in the picture. Is this something standard? My car doesn't have either the under-dash box or the vinyl cover. I may have to look for one of the vinyl covers if it is normally there... Thanks.

    Internal rivets 1 2

    by z8987

    I'm sure this method has been used before, but this is the first time I've removed these rivets. Looks like whoever removed this rivet lost the center, so they replaced it with a piece of wire. possibly 18 gauge pretty cool. When I removed the panel I found the plastic centers they lost years ago.

    Dealer Installed Seat Covers

    by RDHULL

    Recently pulled my latest 240Z out of a side yard in Phoenix AZ. From the info in the glove compartment it is obvious that this car was sold new from Morrie Sage's Universal City Datsun in N. Hollywood, CA. I bought it from the second or third owner. It is very original except for the seat covers. My suspicion is that these covers were installed by the dealer before the initial sale as they used the original new white backs with inserts that were very well done. The car's orange paint and the orange and white inserts along with the cars very original condition and options (auto, A.C., white interior) makes me think the car was an early version of a common way to up…

    Custom Interior 1 2

    by '71 zcar

    I'm going to do fiberglass panels where all the vinyl was. I don't like all the draped vinyl everywhere, I prefer a more fitted look. I'm starting with the rockers then the tunnel. Here's shots of the quick rocker mold I made and the panels. These will be fitted into place then I will model up each end to finish off properly. The front will turn in and have a aluminum foot board across, i.e. Singer Porsche. The whole front cockpit area will be fitted glass wrapped in leather. The center console will also be changed. It will stop at the shifter surround and a panel will be made to close out the bottom of the dash down to the tunnel piece. The fuse will be relocated behind …

    interior color change using SEM color coat system 1 2

    by qz16

    My son and I are restoring a 1973 240z. We are converting the interior from “tan/brown” to black. We will be replacing the seat foam and vinyl, and the headliner with new material. I am planning to use the SEM Color Coat system for the remaining plastic and vinyl pieces including the door cards. There are a number of choices and I do not have the experience to know how subtle or substantial the differences are within the color coat system. SEM offers: landau black #15013, gloss black #15233, satin black #15243, high gloss clear #13003, satin gloss clear #13013, and low luster clear #13023. Does anyone have experience with…

    Sun Visor Clip - Rear View Mirror Base

    by KenFirch

    On a 71 240 Z I have, the piece that holds the sun visors in place that mounts beneath the rear view mirror, broke on the drivers side. It was pretty annoying having the visor flop around, and I finally took the visor off until I could locate a replacement part. Searched all over the place for another, no luck. Finally saw one on Etsy from a person who has a 3D printer named PlasticWiz, figured I'd give it a try. Removed my old one, which basically disintegrated while trying to pop it loose from the vinyl covered roof frame. Sanded the new ABS piece a bit and painted black. I suppose the "print lines" could be removed completely with a lot of …

    rear view mirror 1 2

    by george71z

    Is there any way to tighten up the swivel of an interior mirror? I got a brand new one from a friend, and its flopping around. Can't see any way to tighten or adjust it.
