I am in the middle of my fuel tank restoration process and have several queries: 1. Which is the exact or most precise color to primer and paint the full tank? Just plain semi gloss black in spray or should i brush it with POR-15? 2. Do i really need to replace all the gas tank hoses? Having difficulty on getting all of them. Have sent e-mails to MSA but they only have one available. I also send an e -mail to my dear friend Mike at Banzaiworks, who has really helped me a lot sourcing parts but he has none of those hoses. Anyone?

FYI Not too long ago I installed white gauge face overlays and some blue incandescent bulbs in my dash. (76 280z). The gauges turned out great, but the lights were still dim, and didn't have as much of a blue tint as I wanted. I don't want to do the bulbs again, since it is a time consuming job. I'm ready to drive it! I found these at the local parts store, others may have them. Plugs into your cig. lighter and has 4 bright blue LEDs that have 3M mounting tape on the bottom. As long as you clean the mounting surface (degrease), they stick great and light up very brightly. The clock isn't lit, since there are only 4, but my clock doesn't work anyway. …

Good Evening, My Z is a 1972. I've always assumed, or perhaps "had faith" is a better description, that the 'Z' emblem on the rear pillars concealed ventilation holes. (If not, seems like a heck of a lot of sheet metal work for no reason.) I've also assumed that a PO had redone the interior using after-market parts. Recently I had the right rear interior panel off to work on the evaporative canister and that exposed the backside of the Z emblem. So to speak. On the interior sheet metal and directly behind the Z emblem is a painted square maybe six inches on the side with an X-shape stamped into it. However, one thing I expected to find, but did not, was a connection…

Here are photos of a carpet set from a 240z Canadian Jan 1971. Most date codes in the car are Dec-Jan 70/71. Yup they are yours George... just found while going through boxes in the garage so I experimented and washed then photographed. I think they are original? You can verify There is no split in the back deck carpet as the 01/1971 had the plastic storage bins behind the seats. Philip

I'm looking for some recommendations on the best adhesive to used to install the diamond / pleather trim material. I'd like to know what works but will also allow the pieces to be removed in the future. I'm replacing the floors this winter so I have to remove a few sections like around the tunnels and the rockers. I also plan to paint it in 2020 so I want to be able to remove all the pieces again. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Hi everyone. Over the years I’ve gotten quite a few requests for kick panel speaker pods for the 280Z. What was holding me back was uninterrupted access to a 280 for measuring and fitting. I finally found one that was close enough and cheap enough for me to buy. One thing that is very apparent is there isn’t a lot of room to work with. Especially on the drivers side.At this point I’ve completed a working prototype for the drivers side and wanted to get input from interested buyers as to the layout on the passengers side. The bad news is there really isn’t any room for a high end 5 1/4” speaker. I designed it around these Pyle PLS502 slim speakers. http://www.pyl…

Anyone know how to pick a glove box lock? I tried all my various Datsun keys and screw drivers to no avail. I ended up removing it but would like to get it unlocked so I can at least use it! I don't have the original keys as this came from a parts car I took apart.

I have a cracked plastic finisher that covers the glove box door lock for my '75 280Z. I tried repairing it, unsuccessfully, first with and adhesive that I had on hand, and later with JB Weld. Do any of you have advice you can offer on to properly repair this piece? Or a lead on a good replacement part? Thanks! Best Regards, Jim

I want to put my A/F meter where the clock is, just by sticking it on the clock glass with velcro or dbl sided tape. But the knob is in the way and I can't see how to remove it. The clock doesn't work anyway.

I thought there's a way to press on the lens so it pops open. Not working though.
