Does anyone know of the font that was used on the lettering and numbers of the Early Z gauges. Plan on using photoshop and a little time to make some variations of the stock Gauge faces. Maybe white maybe a vinal overlay of the original look. Who knows. Just wondering on fonts..

In a 280Z, can you reach the to of the water valve to replace the vacuum hose without have to take the whole dashboard out? Maybe you can you just reach in where the heater core is?

Well, just what the title says. I was refinishing my rear tail light trim panels, and a few of those small black push tabs broke. They are much smaller than the interior tabs that hold on the interior panels in the back of the car. Does anybody sell these smaller style push tabs?

I am looking for a set of chrome screws from the Luggage Bar, behind the seats of a coupe. There are five of these dudes and of course mine are somewhere where I cannot find them. I really want to stick to OEM parts rather than making a trip to the hardware store for some make-do stainless. If you can help me out, please PM me. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone make 'new' door glass for the 77 280Z? I have checked MSA, Black Dragon, and Courtesy Nissan to no avail. I see them on ebay used (not terribly priced, at around 100) and at ZCarSource (i used to love them back in the 90's but now they are so overpriced for used parts it's laughable. They want over 200 for used) I would love new but will get used. A recent monsoon here in PHX shattered mine via a tree limb. Thanks everyone.

Can anyone describe or show me where the antena toggle switch mounts on a series one 240z? Mine was hanging from the wires just above the gas pedal when I got the car. Thanks, Chris

Last weekend my buddy Mike (Pop's Z) stopped over to help me install the MSA A pillar trims and windshield header trim in my '71. It is definitely a 2 person job. We found it best to have one person inside the car to pull & stretch the vinyl and the other person outside the car to pull & fold the vinyl along the outside edge of the window weld flange and door weld flanges. Fastening the vinyl to the inside weld flange with the pinch moulding takes a little practice. After a few initial tries, we got the hang of it and committed ourselves by spraying the foam and the vinyl with adhesive. Wick Humble's book on Z car restoration does a good job of describing the…

I am looking for a dash cover (carpeted type) to protect my current crack free dash from the Sun when I have my 73' 240Z out and about. I don't want to install it permanently but simply use it when the car is out in the bright light. Any idea where I can purchase one ?

I recently acquired a 1977 280z from the grandson of the original owner. It is an Arizona car and lived there its whole life. It was bought originally in 1977 at Thoroughbred Datsun (now Nissan) and came with quite a few dealer options, this interior being one of them. Has anyone seen anything like this in a Z car? I will be posting full pics of the car soon. I am a new member on here, any info would be great. Thanks

Wondering if anyone else has found these problems with the '73 cap (not the same as those for the earlier Zs): 1. Glovebox opening narrower than door across the top couple of inches. I measured, and it's about 1/4 inch. No way you can close the door without mods to the opening. 2. Hazard light switch hole too close to the lighter hole above. Hole needs to be enlarged, most likely eliminating the left wall of the hole, where it wraps around the inset in the dash. Measured with caliper, there's about 3/16" difference, centers on cap vs. dash. 3. Driver side air vent (round) opening too close to tach. For this, it may be possible to heat and warp the 3/8" wall of the opening…

Anyone know of a source for a trip odometer cable for a '77 Z? No mention of it in MSA or VB. I haven't pulled the speedo to verify, but I'm guessing the tip of the cable is broken. When I turn the reset knob I can feel the cable moving, but the trip odo doesn't change. Thanks, Bob

My 280Z does not have that little lever on the picture. Can anybody tell me what it was for?
