I could be totally wrong on this one, but this looks to be a compe steering wheel from a sport package on a j-spec Z or it could be a 73 240 steering wheel. If anyone could help me on this one I would appreciate it. That would be so awesome if it was the compe. -Ben

I got door panels that are now in quite good condition BUT passenger side panel has bended from front so its hard to install. I was thinkin that heat might have done that, cause the vinyl is ok. So is there any nice way to bend it back? re-heat vinyl or something? I'll add pictures asap. I'll also need good advices how to remake those brushes () that are in top of the door panels.

http://www.thezstore.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=DC As we all know, the older Z dashes were prone to cracking. So, we either cover it up, or refurbish it. I came across this in the Z Store, and I was actually quite interested. Has anyone seen a Z with one of these on? Or have personal experience with one? If it could be possible, it'd be great to see more pictures of the dash with one on. Thanks everyone!

Hello again. You guys will know the best way to do this I'm sure:). I have removed the kick plates (aluminum with Datsun stamped on them) from the rocker panels. I have washed them with soap and fine steel wool. They are coming clean but still need help. Also I have not been able to get the little grooves cleaned. I have tried a buffing wheel on my dremel and that just left a black streak. What is the best way to refurbish this part?? Harry Original owner 72 240z

My tan headliner dropped. How do you re-glue it. It has this foam powder on the back - like it was foam rubber at one time? and disintegrated to powder??? I would assume I would have to brush it all off the hardboard and the vinyl before using contact cement? But then I wouldn't have that supple look -- with nothing between the hardboard and the vinyl... What would I use for the inbetween layer? Anyone have any ideas about using a nicer looking vinyl? or must I use the old vinyl because it is form fitted...

My brother has a 2004 WV GLI which has great recaro seats stock. I measured his seats, and amazingly they are within 1/2 inch in every dimension that matters. Brand new seat pairs have shown up on ebay for a pretty good price: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/VW-2004-2005-Golf-Jetta-GLI-Recaro-seats-NEW-w-airbags_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem45e9bef9b8QQitemZ300274350520QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_500wt_942 Has anyone tried fitting these or similar recaro seats? (my brother tells me that some sport version of the Chevy Cobalt used the same seat.) Geof

Hi all, I have a mostly stock and very nice condition, low mileage 240Z. I drive her very frequently these days, so I have made some modifications to make daily driving more enjoyable/bearable. I started with new struts and springs (kept the originals if I sell to someone who wants the old parts). The project I am working on right now is setting up the stereo to be reasonably nice but also sound better and accept an aux-in from my ipod. I have ordered the "retrosound" head unit from Crutchfield so I can have a modern tuner and aux-in but preserving most of the stock look (I will keep the old parts as well) I removed the interior rear quarter panels and to my surprise the…

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to get rid of that old musty odor lurking in the nooks and crannies of a 30+ year old Z car? My goal is to get the car's interior as close as possible to how she smelled when she rolled off the showroom floor sometime in late 1977-78. I've got the entire interior, dash and carpet out and have been cleaning dust, grime and STUFF from as many places as I can reach. Have also cleaned up the dash, seats, door panels, vinyl trim and plastic interior trim pieces as well as the inside areas of the rear quarter panels, hatch area and behind/underneath the dash area back to the firewall. I've also let her air out quite a bit, in addition…

I ordered the full carpet kit and should be ready to install them sometime next week. The question that I have is, are there some type of board/cover over the trunk like the newer day cars? If so, what would you call that and where may I possibly go to find this part before I install the trunk carpet?
