When I first got my 77 there was a lot to do. The normal like suspension, Interior, Rust, etc, etc……. But one of the nagging things in back of my brain was the butt-ugly ashtray. I don't smoke but I still had to look at it all the time. It were nasty. After searching for a decent replacement with no luck I decided to work it out the best I could. Wire wheel, sandpaper and steel wool. Finally painted with Rustoleum Metallic Silver and it looked pretty good considering It will only hold smallish things now. Knowing it will get a little wear and tear I put a spray coat of Polyurethane for protection. Now it looks great and I can celebrate another small victory in my …

errr... i meant insides of a rally clock oscillator. Anyways....ran across this page in japan. this guy is an electronics guru that fixed an oscillator. I had never seen the insides of one before but there sure are alot of things that can go wrong. No wonder they use so much juice. with no schematics to work with he succeeded in finding what was wrong. a burned out transistor. http://blog.goo.ne.jp/vrc-tezuka/e/250f389a49a12a856565a0c7e324e2f0 and another page where a guy took a 9$ clock and put it inside his calendar clock https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fminkara.carview…

Now we have affordable horn pad from Japan for 240Z cars now! We have JDM "Fairlady Z" type and "Datsun" type. (Die cast crest as original) http://jdm-car-parts.com/search?q=horn+pad&submit= They are also available at Motorsport Auto! Some private parts suppliers in US and Japan sell replacement ring for repair, but the fact is that form inside the horn is usually too old and falls apart when you mount or remove it off the steering wheel even after replacing the inner ring.

I have been restoring a '76 280z for going on 2 years now. There's still a long way to go, but as most of you can probably understand I prowl ebay on a near daily basis just to see what pops up. Well last week a 280z dash popped up! My original dash is restorable - I guess. It's cracked and covered and the cover's cracked too. What I found was an original uncracked dash with all of the instruments. My winning bid was $599. I hope it's the bargain it seems! It seems from most of the posts I've seen that I could expect to spend $1K to get my original dash restored. Here're the auction pictures: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-Nissan-280z-Complete-Dash-Pad-Speedometer-…

Has anyone reproduced the vinyl cover for under dash wires on the passenger side of early cars? It was referred to as a pig tail cover in this old post. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9685&highlight=pig+tail+vinyl+cover I was thinking that if there was interest, Bryan (who is making the reproduction early shift boots) might be able to make some of these as well. The cover appears to just be a square piece of vinyl with black snaps like on the ebrake covers. Does anyone have one of these that they can provide measurements of or possibly even send to Bryan to use as an example? -Mike
