I may have found a NOS dash for my '70 I am restoring. I have done a little research about preventing cracks and I am curious if anyone has any updated information they care to add. This is what I plan to do: Store the car in a temperature controlled room that has very little temperature fluctuation. The garage has heat and and AC. Cover the dash and/or windshield when you are parked in the sun. Treat it with Vaseline? Don't use Armor All or similar products. Does anyone have any other advice?

@rossiz A year or two ago you were talking about adding a rear wiper on you Z, did you ever do that? I found these and was wondering if they were the 280zx rear wiper that was needed... I found these the other day when I was cleaning up the shop.

Needed to swap in a new AT modulator, and pull the pan to change the ATF. Usually I use ramps but couldn't drive up on them since ATF was low due to the bad modulator. Used the stock jack that came with the car and a jackstand to change the modulator. The stock jack is OK for changing a tire but doesn't raise the car enough to work under it very well. So bought a 6 ton hydraulic jack and tried using that yesterday to pull the pan. But I had to use the stock jack first to get the car high enough to get the new jack under the frame rail. So did that, and then removed the stock jack, jacked it up some more and placed the raised jackstand next to it. Working under the c…

1977 280z that I'm working on. P79 head and MSA header. Did a lot of searching and can't find a definitive answer. My question is should I use all studs or studs and bolts on the intake and exhaust manifolds. I did email Pallnet with the same question and his response was " I've always replaced the exhaust hardware with all studs", nothing about the intake. Would appreciate your input. Thanks

I was wanting to know if it is worth it to spot weld the seams on my 240z if so is it worth it to do the whole car or just certain portions of the car? I want to use it for track racing and every day driving , also I was about to spray the car with rubber undercoating and I want to spot weld before if it’s better to do so. I know there are some pros on this forum they can give me the best advice

I found an Elephant that isn’t on an oil cap: I’ve looked all over and have cannot find any references to Nissan MP Elephant Grease, but there it is, right in the FSM in figure FA-22. Was this real? That would be an interesting piece of memorabilia.
