I am considering redoing the seats in my 1973 240Z in leather. I have been looking at both the MSA and classic Datsun leather kits but I have been unable to find much on the forum from folks that have used either kit. Anyone have any experience with leather in a Z?

Does anyone have experience with the carpet kits from the Datsun Store / z Specialties? http://www.datsunstore.com They have a 13 piece sectional carpet that I am thinking about buying. Also, while replacing the carpet, thought I would add a new audio system. (Alpine deck, Boston Accutics Amp, Infinity 3-way 6x9s) I noticed that MSA has a 6x9 speaker panel that replaces the tail light panel. Has anyone seen these panels? If so, do they work well? Do they look good? Are they fair quality?

Have a early 71 240. The interior has been removed. No carpet or vinyl installed. Im a bit confused as to what interior kit I should buy. I assume I can do whatever I want but I like the vinyl but was vinyl and carpet used at same time from factory? Thanks. Also missing some if the panels around the rear deck that hide quarter wells and such. Any relatively cheap options for replacing those?

I trying to referbish my 4/71 240Z as close to original, including rubber bushings and proper plating of fasteners. . . The sound dampening mats on the drivers and passenger floor boards are cracks and are starting to come up and will need replacement material. I found the product at JC Whitney, however they tried to send it to me 9 times without getting one that was damaged, poor packaging that the would say they try something new and it would just come damage, it was a big waist of time. Same with Summit they told me a product was the butyl material when I got it it wasn't they charged me a restocking fee (was not happy since it was theirs staff that miss lead me). …

Our club has an event this Saturday that I don't want to miss. I've been meaning to change out the stock steering wheel for a new Grant wheel, but I have limited time between now and Saturday. I don't want to start the project and not get finished in time for the event. Can anyone give me an idea how long it took them to do this swap? I am pretty handy, but not a mechanic, if that helps.

Have purchased a fairly nice 76 280z. There are a couple of items that I am working on and thought I would ask the group here: 1: Would a center console from a 77/78 work fine (without mods) in a 76? 2: Turn signal auto return does not work when turning left or right. Without digging into it yet, is there a general fix? I'm guessing I will have to dig into it to find out.

I was searching the forums about fiberglass dash info, but the last thread was over 5 years ago. I figured I would start a new thread about this topic as hopefully there are advancements in this. I wanted to know if anyone could tell me about their experience (Costs, sacrifices, pros/cons, etc.) with a fiberglass dash, such as the one PDK provides (http://www.pdkfabrication.com/). I am wanting to take this route as finding a new dash has been a royal pain, and my dash is too bad to restore. I am looking for the most cost efficient way to fix my cars dash problem. My logic behind implementing a fiberglass dash is because it seems to be a cheaper alternative, but then ag…

I got my 280Z today and I wanted to fix the shift boot and shifter. The shift knob that came with the car had lost its threading and wouldn't tighten up. So I placed in a Lexus (auto) shift knob with some minor drilling to increase the inside diameter of the knob. Fits like a charm now and looks better than the last one did, even though this knob itself is no "looker". I also had to fix the boot. The leather string was missing that tightens it up snuggly around the shifter. So I improvised a way to tighten it without making a run to walmart. I used a Zip-Tie that was long enough to thread through the lip of the boot. I actually had to get a larger one because this …

Since I installed my radio and put together my heater control panel, it motivated me to work on one more project, installing a new glove box. I destroyed my original glove box when taking out the clock. In searching the threads, I now understand that I need to remove the blower motor in order to twist and bend the glovebox in place. Can anyone provide any practical help before I start? For instance is there any trick in lowering the blower motor? Thanks in advance for any help. vincesf
