Sad to say my Zs are are very rarely driven anymore. More important things keep popping up, as they will never stop. 8^( Should I run some Seafoam through every so often? Any advice/experiences would be a great help. Thank you. Cliff

I have an aluminum driveshaft for my 71. In the pic you can see that the driveshaft yoke will hit the E-brake. MSA has a pic of both stock and aluminum driveshafts side by side. The driveshaft is bigger and the yoke is bigger. Does anyone know what can be done so the E-brake can be used or do I have to go without an E-brake ? Thank you very much.

Ordering Z parts from the parts guy behind the counter at a Nissan dealership can be an adventure. When's the last time you bought parts from your local dealer? Dennis

Either this guy is insane and has grossly over valued his zcar or I missed something. I'm interested to see what others think. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1978-Datsun-Z-Series-280Z/292601359629?hash=item4420666d0d:g:kB0AAOSwL4lbH9be&vxp=mtr

Hello, I purchased a complete weatherstripping rubber seal kit from zcardepot.com. By process of elimination, I believe I've located the Cowl Hood Weatherstrip per the attached pictures. The p/n's on the individual kit pieces don't match zcardepot.com's website p/n's so it hasn't been a very straight forward task ... anyway, my question is, should the seal be positioned in the forward position (fig 3) or aft position (fig 1)? The original seal doesn't have the upper flat rather it was just a "u" shape that was fitted snug to the metal upright angle (fig 2)

"oh yeah, forgot i had that" several years i bought some spares from a guy here in-state, i don't remember much about him or the transaction. anyway, the parts i bought were the interior plastics - rear, sides, and roof for my 260. when i met him to pick up the parts he brought along a box of other stuff and asked if i wanted it. i opened the flap of the box, identified it as wiring, and didn't give it much more thought than that. i waffled a bit, and then on general principle said "sure, i'll take it" without really knowing what was there or if i needed it. today i remembered that box. and what i received for the price of the plastics included the engine bay …

I got the hatch open from the inside. Now what can I do to fix the problem. Should I move the lock part on the hatch forward or backwards ? Or should I just play with it ? Also if you get a new lock or are restoring a 71Z, leave the hatch panel off until you have the hatch opening and closing properly. Thank you.

240Z Window woes 1 2 3

I have a 70 build 240Z and recently the drivers window refuses to roll up. It had this problem previously and I got it to work, but the same problem is back. However, before I tear the door apart, I wanted to ask the forum if they had experienced this before and how they solved it. Here are the symptoms: The window will roll up several inches, but them gets jammed and refuses to budge. It rolls back no problem. It also seems to interfere with the door release handle. Any ideas before I go the route of taking it all apart again? Thanks!

My car had this on it when I bought it in 1985. I have never seen another Z with one on it. I have heard that this was a warranty replacement one, but if it was, why wouldn't it had been orange? I know they switched at some time to this blue for all their air cleaners, but wouldn't they have stopped producing this by then?
