I have been restoring a '76 280z for going on 2 years now. There's still a long way to go, but as most of you can probably understand I prowl ebay on a near daily basis just to see what pops up. Well last week a 280z dash popped up! My original dash is restorable - I guess. It's cracked and covered and the cover's cracked too. What I found was an original uncracked dash with all of the instruments. My winning bid was $599. I hope it's the bargain it seems! It seems from most of the posts I've seen that I could expect to spend $1K to get my original dash restored. Here're the auction pictures: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-Nissan-280z-Complete-Dash-Pad-Speedometer-…

Has anyone reproduced the vinyl cover for under dash wires on the passenger side of early cars? It was referred to as a pig tail cover in this old post. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9685&highlight=pig+tail+vinyl+cover I was thinking that if there was interest, Bryan (who is making the reproduction early shift boots) might be able to make some of these as well. The cover appears to just be a square piece of vinyl with black snaps like on the ebrake covers. Does anyone have one of these that they can provide measurements of or possibly even send to Bryan to use as an example? -Mike

I recently purchased leather seat upholstery from Interior-Innovations and figured I would do a write up for any of you considering that route. First a picture of my old seat back. I'm pretty sure the interior was "updated" sometime in the 80's before I got the car. I considered both leather and vinyl but decided to go with leather hoping it will acquire charater over time. At $375 for the pair Interior-Innovations was affordable so I sent them an e-mail asking if they could send some scraps of leather so I could check the color. I got a response within 10 minutes of my e-mail stating that they just needed my address. The color swatches took about a week …

Hello everyone. I have race seats in my 1971 Datsun, and I like them fine, but they're a bit hard for a daily driver. I do have the original seats, and someone has already recovered them in fact! But, the seat (bottom) portion of the driver's seat has some long tears in it. Has anyone tried to repair vinyl before? Recommendations for products? The other 3 pieces are in excellent shape...so I hate buying a whole kit for this one piece. It's a daily driver, not a museum piece, so it doesn't have to be perfect. I was thinking of some kind of glue? Thanks in advance!

So here's my dilemma. I have a series one Datsun 240z that was made in 1970. I want to install better seatbelts while keeping the original seats and to the greatest extent possible avoid harnesses. I understand that MSA sells a retractable seat belt but that it requires some modification on an early year car. I'm trying to avoid ruining the Z or taking away from it's classic flare. Does anyone know how much modification must be done to install the MSA set or have any better ideas? Thank you all! Chris

What does the knob next to the front hatch opener do? Also what does the knob under the dash on the passenger side of the car do?

I purchased a set of sil plates for my 280Z. The seller said they were for a 260Z. He was selling odd parts he still had after selling his Zed. They look great, but they are also too long. I think, and almost certain they are for a 2+2 or maybe something else altogether. The length of the long sils is 845mm and I need 745mm. As far as I can tell there is no difference in length between the 240, 260 and 280Z coupes. Just want to check here before a buy another set from another seller. Thanks Chas

Hey mates So both my rear hatch seals - the two rubber things that go around the rear hatch - are leaking. I've replaced both in the past but at the top it seems that both have come off and ripped to the point where if it rains water drips into the Z rather regularly. So here's two questions. 1. Does anyone know a good source to get these from? I remember somewhere that you could use a weather seal out of a kia or something, is this true? Secondly, is there some kind of magical trick to get these things to stick? Thanks Jan

Does anyone happen to know what the three screws look like that are at the back of a 240Z console? Are they slotted or phillps? The PO of my car had only two screws there and they are different lengths so I don't think they are original. Was there a felt, soft or other washer under the screws? A ta p and die set seems to indicate they are 5MM at .8 pitch and the ones I have are slotted. Any info appreciated.
