Well i purchased a used hatch strut support about a month ago and i finally got the time today to install it on my Z only to find out that it seems to seized. It won't collapse. I tried putting some WD 40 and hitting it with a rubber mallet but it still won't go down. Is there something special that i have to do to make it collapse?

I just replaced the door seals on my '76 and now can't close the doors. I've checked the clearance between seal and door, and it appears that the rubber seal is not folding back when the door closes. Seems to me that I shoudl trim off some of this seal for it to compress, but I don't want to waste a good seal. Any help is appreciated.

I was wondering if the Black dragon door weatherstrip comes with the "welting already attached" or if they sell that seperatly? I am going to buy a replacement and i was looking at the motorsport auto version and the website said that i would have to purchase the welting.

Anyone have a Hitachi or Clarion stereo AM/FM radio for a 1978 280Z that they want to sell? Ebay sellers want too much money to fit my budget.

Hello all. I'm getting ready to embark on an interior restoration of my 75 280 and I have some questions. Hope I can get some help. 1) I plan on Dyno-Matting the interior. When I go to install the carpet, should I glue it to the Dyno-Mat? The reason I'm asking this is that when I plan on doing the stereo system, I want to get a rear speaker box and I want to hide all the speaker wires. 2) Has anybody ever thought about redoing a center console in either fiberglass or wood? One of my goals for my car is to have a comfortable touring car that I can drive throughout Northern CA. I was thinking of replacing the stock steering wheel with one made of mahogony (same with the shi…

I removed those interior dog leg trim panels with the chrome accent strip that are found just forward of the rear wheel housings to do some work. They are installed with the same clips which are used for the door trim panels. On the door panels, the receiver holes for these clips use a cap shaped like a thimble with a lip which are pushed into the hole in the metal door frame. My car is a '70 Z, and my question to the forum is, to install these dog leg trim panels, were these thimble shaped caps used, originally, to receive the clip fasteners on the trim panels when installing these dog leg trims? Mine were installed without the use of these caps but it would seem re…

My masonite door panels are not restorable. I have looked and searched to find replacements without any luck. I think after a lot of work i have a pattern to cut my own. I will be making them out of sintra ( 1/8" pvc sheet material) I know someone that will be cutting this pattern on his cnc router. If any are interested i will keep you up to date on how it working.

Hi All, I'd like to find out how well the 134 system offered by MSA cools. It is my understanding that a 134 system has to be larger to provide the same cooling that an R-12 system provides. I imagine that the MSA 134 kit uses the same sized components as the R-12. Has anyone used both? I used to have a "factory" R-12 system in my '71 240Z and it was great. It used to blow air so cold that fog came out of the vents. Have any of you found that the newer systems run as cold/comfortable? I'm looking at getting a new system because the old one needs to be replaced. Thanks, Jim

and in order to do that, I had to remove the door panels. No big deal, right? Well it wasn't, until the dreaded conditions of While I'm At It and What The Hell combined. The car is SO much LOUDER without interior body panels... I found rust, of course. Some in the door panels, mainly on the window guides, and some under the toolbox area, below the speaker area. None of it appears to be too bad, though we all know looks can (and often are) deceiving.

remember the cargo nets? Looks like fish netting. Was it ever an option on the Z? I remember lots of domestic hatchbacks having them. So I think I might be able to get on on the deck of my car to keep the stuff back there under control., especially since there's not too many place to put stuff with the spare back there. I would probably attach it to/under the chrome strip along the front of the deck and some hooks & velcro straps along the back. where can you get those? The only place I found one was jcwhitney.com thx
