Recently the Z's antenna stopped working in both directions. However, the motor that drives it sounded 'nonmal'. Upon reading multiple threads on this site and elsewhere I decided to attempt a fix. It can be done!! Somebody/somewhere suggested using Trimmer Line if the problem was the result of a broken plastic drive cable...which this was. The replacement cable is 46.25" of 0.13 trimmer line which cost $0.80 at a local farm store. Please note a couple of take-aways if you attempt this: 1) Write down everything you remove as you remove it...do not rely on your memory! Place all the removed parts in sequence. Hint: Take a series of pictures. 2) Use heat to remove the plast…

I recently bought the vinyl kit for my door panels from Classic Datsun Motorsport. The quality exceeded my expectations! Then came the problem. I discovered that my door panel pressed board was kind of wonky... Here is the good news; I have a friend in Oregon who has a company that manufactures parts for vintage Porsches. His quality is impeccable. If he can't make it better or as good as OEM, he just will keep trying till he does. He made door panels for my 914 with a fiberglass core and new vinyl that looks EXACTLY like the factory panels. They will never warp because they are fiberglass and could care less about moisture. He has agreed to make door panel cores out of …

Higuys, The ashtray cover (on the centre console, aft of the shifter) has a solid handle that has two grooves in it. Is it supposed to be unpainted, or chromed or what? Since most things have a bit of chrome finish to it, I thought some chrome paint could be flowed into it for just a bit of color or it could even be filled white white or chrome paint. thxZ

Yesterday night I took apart my center console in haste n didnt take a pic of the throttle choke assembly before removing it. May be a long shot but does anyone have a pic of it? I think I got the pivoting part put back together to the V shaped housing. Think I'm off were the cable latches onto the cylinder screw.

Hi all, How do the two middle vent parts I have marked on the drawing seal against each other? The drawing is from a 71 FSM and my car is a 70 but I imagine they would be the same on this. I noticed a black powdery substance in that middle vent underneath the vent part that rotates. Is that the remnants of a seal that used to be there? The part on the right is a flat piece of metal riveted to the part immediately next to it further on the right. Thanks

After finishing up my carb work I took her out for a drive and low and behold my next project surfaced. My car has previously been spot on with heater controls and A/C function. But now, I seem to have this strange problem on my 71 240Z with dealer installed AC (AC is irrelevant I think, but just to be sure I included it) AIR Off--------Vent--------Heat ------------------------ TEMP Off---------------------Heat ------------------------ DEF Def---------------------Room As denoted by the location of the smilies, in this config, with the car fully warmed up, I get very warm air blowing through the defrost vents near the windshield. All is well. H…

I am going to recover my door panels and need opinions on vendors quality. I am looking at Z-Specialties and Z Car Source of AZ. Prices are equal after delivery. If you have first hand knowledge of either vendor I would appreciate hearing from you or if you used another vendor. Thanks, JB

The dash is out of my Series I to repair cracks and to install a VintageAir AC. Pulling out the old gauges, I noticed there are adjustment screws opennings on the back of the gauge. My water temp is off by about 30 degrees high and I suspect the oil gauge is reading low. Considering the gauge is 42 years old, I can understand a need to re-calibrate. Does anyone have a procedure that can be done while I got the dash apart? Which adjustment screws do what? I have a 12 volt power supply, regulated air pressure to exercise the pressure sender and hot water to perform the calibration. BTW I've found a way to maintain the fresh air/recirculation control by modifying the b…
