I need to replace my speedometer cable. Has anyone done it without removal of tachometer and dash cap? Because the speedo and tach come out the front of the dash I would have to remove the full face dash cap I have. I know its easier to get to the speedo with the tach out. I'm just wondering if I can access it by laying on my back, reaching up into the back of speedo to disconnect the cable without the removal of anything?

I bought a vinyl kit and the tunnel piece does not seem fit well. I am not sure if I missing something or maybe it's built wrong. But the slot for console fastening is in the wrong location. I could adjust but the slot would appear that it would show. Or does the console cover it regardless? Are there some post on this site with the order that the pieces go in?

One problem I'm about to attack on our new '72 240Z is that the driver's seatback is "loose". When you sit in the seat, the seatback will flex back another 10-15 degrees when you lean on it. The result is that the seating position is too far reclined, even in the most upright position. The seat adjuster lever and "ratchet" mechanism seem to work fine. The flex is coming from the structure of the seat somehow. the seat is somehow pivoting in the hinge area and the I'll have to pull the seat out and maybe remove the seat cover to see what's going on. We are brand new to the Z. Is this a common issue and does anybody have advice as to what to look for first? Than…

I recently blew an interior heater hose, and while under the dash, I thought it would be prudent to look at the heater core and valve at the same time. Core is ok, and the control valve is not leaking. The lever on the valve can be moved relatively easily. The issue I have is the dash hot/cold lever is very stiff to move... Possibly corrosion btwn actuator rod and cable housing? I have tried penetrating fluid with rod/cable still installed wit Not Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I have following the series on YouTube for some time. They concentrate on muscle cars, but this episode will be helpful to many of our Z owners.

Does anyone know the paint color code for the dark brown interior in a 77 280Z? I've done some repairs to some of the trim panels and would like to paint them.

Hi everyone: I’m installing my seatbelts and the shoulder belt portion is fine. However the side with the release latch I can’t figure out how to attach this. I thought initially the bolt hole would be on the transmission tunnel but then I see this attachment point. If I try to attach it so that the receptacle is pointing forward (between the tunnel and the car seat) it’s impossible to get a secure connection. There is a curve in the body that doesn’t allow the seatbelt attachment point to lay flat. If I orient the belt so that the attachment point lines up perfect, then the belt is basically pointing towards the back of the car versus forward. …

I have a 240Z 1/1970 and I want to replace the carpet (that I made) with the MSA black carpet. My car originally did not have those tool doors that open up towards the hatch like the '71 cars do but I obtained a couple from a parts car and installed them. If I put carpet in my early car intended for the later 240Z will it fit okay? I am considering the later carpet because I know it will work with the tool doors I put in. Thanks for any ideas. Mike

Earlier post re: open space in dash molding on 1977280. Replies did confirm this open area as the place for a dash mounting screw. That being confirmed as the reason for the cutout, I still have doubts about that cutout area not being covered in some way. It looks too obvious/unfinished...even for a series l ?. Wasn’t there some type of plastic cover (molded plastic insert?) to fill space after dash screw installed... press on/pop open cover for access ?? I could paint that area black to reduce contrast of the original body paint color behind dash and visible in this cut out area....I just can’t believe it wasn’t a covered access. Trying not to obsess but it is so …

Anybody have any ingenious ways to fix this without replacing the console? '72 240Z, I've taken the ashtray out and slide the cover open to hold it steady with my hand for now. One of those plastic screw holders have broken. Thanks for any ideas.

The early Z's used a simple vinyl covering on the A-pillars, but in 77 they switched to a screw retained plastic trim A-pillar cover. Well Datsun must have messed up some dimension somewhere because the plastic trim covers often crack due to the stress of tightening the screws. On my right hand side, I had one of the screws pull through. Cracked the plastic mounting hole clean off. My first attempt to remedy the situation was to simply buy another used pair somewhere off some forum. Unfortunately, the donor pair I bought not only had the same problem, but it was even the same screw, same location. This meant that I couldn't even use one side from my original pair, a…
