Mikewags and Mike B I am curious if when you finally got the dash out if you found any Japanese Kanji (script) on the bottom side of it? When I did my dash a couple of years ago I found it in my car. I understand it was common for assembly line personnel to do this. I had mine translated and it meant "Spring Time". Here is picture of it. I hope everything goes well on the re-install.

I have two (2) different style/size sunvisors in my spare parts collection: The upper style matches the one in my 1970 240Z. Can anyone identify the year and model of the lower style? Thanks, Keith

Has anyone ever sourced a reasonable facsimile of the chrome trim ring on the early Z bakelite ashtray? I remember finding something in one of my hardware buckets years ago, and it worked quite well as it was a slight ellipse not perfectly round. Alas I don't know what it was sourced from. Checking for a friend...

I am putting carpet in my 280z. It never had any when I bought it. The brake boot has snaps that apparently attach to the carpet. My carpet doesn't have any and need to add some. I would like to buy some snaps that will work with the brake boot snaps. Preferably ones that rivet in. Has anyone identified any? Thanks

Hey all, So what I've been learning, the hard way, is that the seat tracks for the various S30 models are not the same. I've reupholstered the seats for my '77 (late production) and the seat rails do not match the 240/260 type (Where they have studs that go straight down) nor do they match the earlier production 280Z. This matters because when I got my project car it was missing the passenger seat entirely. I bought a seat form a 260Z before I realized the difference. The type I need seem to be rarer than hens' teeth with no luck on eBay. But today I noticed that a set being sold from an S130 (280ZX) do look very much like mine. Does anyone hav…

Finally figured out a solution for the annoying seat belts in the Z - I've been mulling over a way to deal with the fact that the seat belts suck - for both Ann & I, the shoulder belt rides into our necks. I guess they are meant for ppl with taller torsos. I tried making a guide bracket that uses a hidden 12mm welded nut below the 1/4 glass, couldn't make that work. In any event, I realized the S2000 seats I put in my Volvo pickup, have seat-mounted belt guides and I don't need them there, since the Volvo belts don't have this issue. drilled 2 holes into the seat frame/tub

I am at the point where I'm ready to install snaps in my replacement firewall and replacement carpet. I have references photos. I did some dry fitting last night in the car. From that, it looks like this little tab that I thought was always bent downwards, to hold carpet from slipping "up"/forward, is actually supposed to be bent up, to... hold up the firewall? With the carpet I have at least, the carpet pretty must must come this far forward. So that the pedal bracket rests right at the bottom of the "big toe" crack, and the back of the carpet rests up against the seat support (but is not curled up there). Just wanted to check this is all good and expected be…

Hello Z peep holes, I am getting around to putting the interior together on one of them Z cars from Janyouharry of 1970, I was wondering what kind of carpet snaps the OE firewall insulator was equipped with. I have two styles that virtually fell off some of the pieces that I had here, and that @grannyknot supplied from his 1971??? orange car for the purpose of comparing and recreating of some fresh insulation. The ones that came off @grannyknot's pieces look to be a kind of "pyramid" shape with a masonite board circle behind them, and a countersunk screw in the center that has a nut behind the masonite circle on the back. Looks to be an M6 countersunk philips sc…

I have some photos I downloaded a few years ago when this project started, of the front floor jute. These, for example, have file names like "Kats repro 1970z", etc. I might have downloaded from here! Anyway, I'm trying to figure out 2 things: 1) would the jute in my 1970 Z have had this "stepped" cutout pattern, or not? 2) anybody know why Nissan might have put that pattern in? It's not like there are floor plugs there. Here's examples without it: (photo, for what it's worth, is labeled "jute-1970 240z":

Not sure which forum to put this in, so admins, please move to body/paint or heating/ac or whatever is appropriate if this is the wrong one. Wick Humble says I can use clear silicone sealer for the floor plugs, but what is an appropriate sealant for the firewall plugs? When I removed the old grommets from my firewall, the sealant was dried up, and black. Is it ok/safe to use silicone sealant on the firewall? I have some 3M Seam Sealer 08367, would that work? Not sure how well this stuff would stick to the rubber plugs.

I have searched all over - so apologies if I missed it - but I'm looking for a write up on the installation of the center console, and particularly a description/specification of all of the hardware for it. During my restoration, the hardware has long since disappeared, and I'm having a very difficult time finding any. I'm hoping that most of it can be found at a hardware store, but I just can't find any detailed descriptions, photographs or videos of the removal or reinstallation of the hardware. My car is a 78 280z but I'm assuming they are all pretty similar in terms of the console. Thanks in advance.

I bought the leather versions of their upholstery (off Amazon, included vents & "Z" embroidery without additional cost), and the new foam to go with. My original seats have 250K miles, so I figured safer to have the foam. There was much hay on the floor. I watched a coupe videos, just to get the gist of the Datsun construction. One guy used dozens of tie wraps(!). I'm familiar with Volvo & Honda (S2000) seats, many hog rings on those, so it was nice to see the way Datsun went about it. Anyway, took the seats out yesterday, and the carpets & under-matting. I have new carpet also, so I need to clean everything up, fix the heater valve coolant leak, th…
