   Hello everyone. I am restoring a 1970 240Z #11230. I am putting in a more powerful 2.8L motor, so it will not be stock. My question is, should I use the nicer Miata seats, with the speakers in the headrest, or refurbish the original seats. Any input would be helpful. Thanks, Rick.

   I am looking around for aftermarket seats to go into my 240 and thought I would ask you guys whether you have had good results with any particular make or model. I am thinking of putting skyline seats. Anyway it would be great if you people could let me know what you've done.

   Tore out all the old carpet padding today. Does that stuff ever stink after 32 years. It smells like an old basement. I need to find something modern to use that does not absorb moisture. Any ideas?

   G'day all, I'm looking at purchasing a 1971 240Z, the problem is it has no interior... all carpets, panels and roofing are not there.. It does have a restored dash though, the seats are original but torn. I live in Perth, WA.. and was wondering if you guys would recommend anywhere to buy basically a whole interior or any other advise for the situation i'm in. Just trying to see what sort of price I would be looking at. Also if anyone has gone with a white interior, considering i'll be buying a whole new one... and if the black dash can be converted Thanks for any advice, Sean

   That large plastic sheet behind the doorpanel which is meant to keep water away... Any recommendations on a particular replacement material before I go down to Home Depot and fish around for something that will work... I am trying to think where I could find rolls of the stuff and what it's "normal" use would be... -e

   Anybody install these in a Z? I'm thinking of getting a pair for my 240 in black/grey for $540 each. Any problems with the fit, comfort or ergonimics? Thanks a lot.

   Hand Brake Handle

   is there a way to remove the black plastic handle off of the hand brake lever? On the roadster, it was glued, and with a twist and a pull, off it came. The Z's handle seems more stubborn. I'd like to take it off to sand out the scratches then hit it on the polishing wheel for the "Oh My!" shine.

    Choke lever help

    Hi Everyone, I've just sourced a new-old stock 240 centre console. I don't ever want it to crack around the choke lever mount so I was thinking of mounting the choke lever directly to the transmission tunnel rather than to the console itself.. I've heard of people doing this before, but never actually SEEN it, does anyone have any photos / descriptions of brackets etc they have constructed to mount the lever?

    Hey guys, my Z has fallen to a bad case of rust in the floor pans, and that ended up getting on my carpet, as well as dry rot. I see that MSA charges an assload of money for a new kit, so do you guys have any alternate ideas? i hear people have taken their carpet to home depot or whatever and they can get somthing very close to the original for alot less than MSA. Also, any alternatives to weather stripping? thanks alot. -Mike

    Does it follow that if I have the later electrical distributor out of a 79-81 then I need to get a matching tach out of that car and only that car ... and then possibly swap faces to make it look like it belongs? I ask because I have a random spare 260Z tach lying around - can't use that can I? -e

    I was looking at the fusebox on my 280Z and it looks kind of messy down there, so I was wondering if there is supposed to be a panel of sorts to cover the area? Can Somebody post a pic of a neat/original fusebox area, so I know what it should look like? thx
