Title says it all. There must be dozens of similar threads but i'll start this anyway. I recently bought 72 240Z from California and it was dirty as hell from inside. Door panels are ok but there is some primer stains and LOTS of other dirt i need to get rid of. I tried Turle Wax leather cleaner, well it cleaned a bit but not all. Also, are they even real leather? Also the plastics are faded, need to bring them back to original glory, suggestions taken! Seats are almost in mint condition, except for stitchings. Are they real leather? Thank you!!

Hi all I spent the last half hour using the search feature but still cannot find what I'm looking for. My Z is missing two of the ducts (plastic tubes) that run air to the outside vents. Does anyone know where one could get these or what else can be used? It's fairly annoying only having air come out of the center vents and no on the sides. Thanks Jan

There's a pair of vinyl-covered hooks for the 240Z shoulder belts to rest in. Goes over part of the plastic panel for the quarter-window, I believe. Which hole does it go in? The lowest, closest to front of car? What sort of screw/finish washer etc. arrangement? Thanks for any info, Steve.

Hello everyone, A week or so ago I put a post on the Help Me forum about my heater cables. I read every post in the search about heater cables. I still haven't seen anything about how they are actually routed at the end/ mounted on the mechanisms they operate. I weigh about 280, and I'm six feet tall. I have to lay on my ear to see up in there. My shoulders are very wide, I can't lay on my ear, and get both arms where I need them to be. Trail and error on this one might very well get the best of me. I've ordered the cable clips for a mere $18.00. However I still haven't figured out whether they slide onto the long stud at the top of the mechanism or the short bit at…

Well I finally got around to mounting my seats and 4 point harness and ran into a couple of snags. The seats are pretty well too wide for the car, but fit snugly. The bad part is the rear strap on the harness is way too long even with the slack pulled out. Is there another way to mount these with the set-up I have and not snap my back? I know many people wrap there's around a strut tower bar, but mine isnt set up that way. Assuming the car runs and drives fine after I finally get it going I will probaly just by a regular seat belt set from MSA. I just dont like this harness, but it is what came with the car. Also, After making sure all of the rear suspension on my 72 w…

I'm looking at a 78 280z to buy that has the original radio. I want to replace it with a cd player/radio. How much can I expect to pay for something that is good quality (the stereo and labor for a place to put it in for me)? Thanks, C

Hello All, I searched around but couldn't get the answer I was looking for. I need to know if any 240z's marked as a 1972 model had the older style center consoles with the ashtray below the radio vs the ones with the metal sliding ones behind the shift boot?? Or did all 1972 240z's have the metal sliding type consoles?

I picked these seats up at the salvage yard this afternoon. Found them in a '77 Porche 924, but they are not the original seats from that car. They did not use the stock seat mounts, instead there were holes drilled through the floor to mount these seats in the Porsche. I've searched the photo gallery and also online, but haven't found anything exactly like these. They say "TURBO" beneath the head rest. There are two dials on the side, one for lumbar support and the other pulls in the upper side supports. There is also an adjustable thigh support (moves up & down). I set them in my project 240Z and it looks like they will work, although I'll probably have to cu…

I have a set of original carpets in my early '71 that are in pretty good shape. They are the cut pile type. Problem is that the sun faded them while it lived in the South. What experiences have you had with dyeing carpets? Please share any tips and tricks you may have found. Things to stay away from would be good hear too. My first thought was to use RIT fabric dye. I have also heard some people say to use SEM vinyl dye. I have used the SEM on door panels with fantastic results. It just seems odd to use it on carpet though. The brown jute underneath the carpet is shot too. So far I have not been able to find a supplier for that. If anyone has found a source, let me…

Gentlmen I wish to replace the carpets in my 72z - this is NOT a restoration, but I want to be somewhat period sensitive - look style carpet will be used I want to carpet the transmission tunnel and the area above the door scuff plates - I am not a fan of the diamond vinyl in these areas. can you give me some advice? - get a custom intaller? - is there a molded kit from a later year? - maybe 260z,(I could do the work myself) - some other multi piece kits out there to use? I see a ton of suppliers on the internet - Any help would be appreciated regards Dave

So I started this project about a month ago to replace my heater core (which broke about 20 years ago). In the process I realized that the fresh air vent wasn't working, so i pulled out the controls to see what was up. Sure enough, one of the pins had come out (see pic #1). the hole that it goes in looks okay in the picture, but was actually broken, so I did the best I could to JB Weld it all back together and it actually worked perfectly. Then put it all back together. Done... Just out of curiosity, I went to nisssanparts.cc and looked up the part number for the controls. They had the part with a price, so I figured "why not" and bought it. I got a call from t…

and cannot afford to have the clock refurbished. It did not bother me at all. I went to the auto parts store and saw this desktop clock that looks like it's gonna fit on the non working Z clock. Test fit it and it worked. I used a double sided tape for the body to hold on to the frame Routed the wire for the 1.5v battery for replacement light still go through the side, so when you turn the dash lights, it still looks like a stock Z clock. The needle (seconds and hour hand) will fit directly to the desktop clock but the hole where the needle sits needs to enlarge a little bit. but i like this one.
