The tear down continues on the Z and evaluating as we go. A lot of bad areas of rust but also a lot of sections looking like new. Game plan is to blast or dip the bare shell eventually before replacing bad sections and then reassembly process. Should I keep the factory deadener material on over the tunnel area or try to remove it? That is one of the areas that looks factory fresh with the original paint still showing some shine. Also what is best recommendation for the painting of the shell after the cleaning? Loads of products out there all promising to prevent any rust but looking for hands on experience suggestions. I have used the POR-15 brush on system on som…

I found this interesting mod so you can add front speakers without cutting your door panels. Looks like it would work pretty well without modifying the interior of the Z too much. Has anyone tried these yet? http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/Classic01a/50-1293

The center console storage door/arm rest cover on my 280Z does not spring open when I release the latch. I can't seem to remember how the spring rod inside that arm rest door goes together and there's nothing in this forum about this topic. Does anyone have a picture of the inside of this door/arm rest, please?

Just finished my '78 280Z and I'm loving driving it except for the terrible creaking coming from almost all the interior plastic panels! Is there some sort of trick to improve this other than cranking up the radio?

I was offered a speedometer with mph and km/h out of a 280Z and as it is nice for me here in Germany to have the actual speed in km/h at hand (expensive pictures here) My question: Can i put a 280 speedometer into a 240 without a problem, or will the reading be wrong, etc??? Best regards.

I have a low miles '71 that was well taken care of. However, the center console was broken where the top of the shift boot is connected (between the leather boot and the fuse access panel). It didn't make sense to me that it was broken there. I found a replacement console of the same era. After I got it installed, I found that the shift lever lines up too close to that section of the console. If I installed the new console, eventually, that section will break again. After close inspection I found that my "new" console was cracked in that area, I bought a very used one recently and a slightly used one too. The very used one is badly broken where the leather boot…

I just replaced the heater core, valve, etc. in my 73Z. I am missing the clip that holds the cable to the bracket just before it meets the pivoting lever. This is on the driver side. I used a couple of plastic ties to hold in temporarily. They work but I would like to do it correctly. Does anyone make this clip or do I need to get it used? Anyone have one they want to sell?

The steering wheel on my 280 has seen better days. The foam along the top started to degrade like they all do, and the whole wheel was squishy, especially when hot. I looked into options and finally decided on a wheel from the 90 300ZX. This wheel was used on the first year 90-96 Z (the only year without an air bag) and also on a couple years of 240SX. Why this wheel? Because I wanted something that "looks like it belongs". I didn't want a fancy multi-colored racing style wheel or a small quick turn go-kart wheel. I wanted something that looked "right". "Appropriate." Something that could be mistaken for factory. And as a bonus... It's still a Z wheel: There were se…

I made two metric speedo overlays for anyone interested in a metric speedometer. They are calibrated for a 260z mph speedometer. Just print them out and stick them on. If you use them post some pics. I have attached them to the post but for the full resolution right click link and select save as. http://www.atlanticz.ca/260z_metric_speedo_guage_black.jpg http://www.atlanticz.ca/260z_metric_speedo_guage_white.jpg

I happened to be looking at my '70 Z's door striker plates (aka 'door catch') the other day and noticed, for the first time, that they're not as simple in design as I thought. It had always been my impression that they're just one-piece metal stampings. When I turned one of them over, I discovered that this isn't the case at all. They're actually pretty complicated in design and construction, consisting of: Main stamping Cushion Block (rubber molding with a metal insert) Mounting Pin & Spring for Cushion Block Mounting Boss (metal stamping) for Cushion block I'm not really sure how the cushioning block arrangement is supposed to work. Any effo…
