The steering wheel that’s in my 75 280z has this leather cover. I tried slowly opening up the cover to see what it looks like underneath and couldn’t really figure out what kind of material lies under the leather cover. Anyone else have photos of what his steering wheel might look like without the cover?

Looking for the help of a fellow z fanatic! I recently came across a listing for a 240z that im interested in buying. Only problem is that im in Ohio and the car is in Odessa, Texas. Anyone live nearby or know somebody nearby? I'd like to know what im buying before I have it shipped. Haha. I recieved pictures of the car, but I really won't know what kind of condition its really in until I get a look at the details. Message me for further information. I'd really appreciate it!

Hi all, Below are two pics from The 240Z Guild's 1971 Datsun 240z Series One (#19769) with 64k miles still wearing its original factory Code 905 Monte Carlo Red paint. As you can see these pics show the Yellow Inspection Paint Dabs From The Assembly Line on part of the suspension. When did the factory start using the yellow inspection paint? Starting in 10/69? Or when? What areas of the 240Z had Yellow Inspection Paint Dabs? Were there other colors used in other areas of the car? Here is a link to the facebook post on the car showing the car inside and out for those who want to look at the original factory paint job with no fa…

So I frequently search online for 280z parts and such, typically on Craigslist via Search Tempest. I’ve noticed over the past ~18 months I seen a lot more adds saying, “looking for a 240z or 280z”. Are you all seeing the demand signal for these car going up as well. Every time my wife grumbles about having this car I always tell her I can sell it in a heartbeat If I wanted and not lose $$. I’ll be curious to see how the market for these cars matures over the coming years. Here’s a search I did this AM. First 4 adds are looking for Z’s. https://fayetteville.craigslist.org/search/sss?query=280z&sort=date&bundleDuplicates=1&searchNearby=1&nearbyAr…

My buddy's 73 has two holes that go through the floor back near the outside seat belt anchors. Is this a "feature"?

Gents, I’m considering getting a replacement engine for my 1977 280z. First the back story. The car has an engine that runs but has a myriad of issues that make it ripe for removal and likely rebuild and or replacement. Odometer currently reads 28k. It was locked up when I bought the car, and broke t free with som mystery oil. So I’m assuming it’s 128k. 1. Some of the freeze plugs are leaking due to rust from the inside. I’ve temp fixed those with JB weld. 2. I’m getting what I think it timing chain slap. I hear a what sounds like the chain is hitting the cover as the RPM retards from a rev. So I’m might have a tensioner problem. 3. I may have a head gaske…

I’m having a blast with this Z. I think it’s too early to start looking for another one. Is there a cool Datsun truck around 1970 that would pair nice with the 70 240Z? Just an idea

I'm refurbishing my lights and all the nuts broke when I took them apart. I found a set on eBay but they are from Thailand. I looked at all the usual parts sources. Does anyone know where to get them? https://www.ebay.com/itm/3X-HEADLIGHT-ADJUST-SCREW-WHITE-PLASTIC-FITFOR-DATSUN-FAIRLADY-240Z-260Z-280Z/150882540704?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D20131003132420%26meid%3D206154ce5fbd4f39b962027a811efb99%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D8%26mehot%3Dag%26sd%3D162684278544%26itm%3D150882540704&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851

Hi guys, My name is Kyle, I'm 28 and live in Alabama. I'm looking to get into my first Z. My goal is to build a track capable car that can still be daily driven on occasion. I'd like to keep some type of Nissan engine in it just for puritys sake. I'd also like to do some sort of transmission swap where I can run an auto with paddles. Trying to get a feel for what can be done with these cars so any input is greatly welcomed. I've been hunting craigslist for a Z... Thanks!
