Would it be OK to cover the holes in the interior side of the rocker panel with insulation? I think there's 6 of them about 3 or 4 inches round. Thanks

Hey everyone, I tried my luck at removing the oil pressure / water temp gauge on my 71 Datsun 240Z. I have a spare gauge (lucky me!), and the one in the dash seems to have a voltage regulator problem (the oil pressure and water temp needled) drift back and forth together in unison and there are other changes (i.e. engine is consistent). So, this weekend I looked in the FSM and tried to take out the center panel. Seemed tricky, and even with all the screws out it didn't want to come out. Not wanting to break anything or separate wires, I tried another option. The updated FSM for the '72 says use the glove box option. The glove box liner came out easy, but the oil pressure…

I'm in the process of cleaning up my steering wheel. It had a worn out leather cover on it and when I removed the cover, I found out that the foam cushion on the wheel has an area about 5 inches long where the foam has peeled away, leaving the wheel about half the original diameter. Is there a way or has anyone used any product to replace this foam cushion. I'd like to do this myself and then recover with leather. Thanks for any suggestions.

What options are there for having the 260-280 black rubber steering wheels recovered? On a related note... Anyone want to trade their black rubber 260-280 steering wheel for either a Grant or a Datsun faux wood 240 wheel? I've got one of each and would trade either one for a 260-280 wheel that I can mess with. I don't care how squishy or cottage cheesed the rubber is... :sick:

I am planning to have the webbing replaced in my seat belts. Has anyone else had this done? I found a company online that is willing to do this for $75 for each belt (i.e., $150 for both seats). I have non-retractable belts, but you '72 Z owners should also consider upgrading your inertia reel to a modern dual-sensing type.

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has used the Old Air A/C kit? I hate to say it, but it seems like is a much better deal than the Vintage Air kit. http://www.oldairproducts.com/catalog/custom-street-rod-ac-units/700800-series-ac-systems-c-30000000_32000000_37000000.html The kits seem to be a better buy than the VA units. What do you guys think? I was thinking about using the IP-800HC.

The carpet kit was waiting for me on the front porch when I got home from work. I will document my installation progress over the next few days. My first impression is: well I am not super impressed, but I am not discouraged ether. I think the more carfull I am installing it the better the outcome will be. For starters I have simply laid the cargo area carpet in the car to help flatten it out, so far it fits pretty good. One question though, The cargo area carpet extends down the front shelf behind the seats. Should I cut this into two peices or fold it? Any tips would be great before I start.

Okay guys, I'm having a predicament. My A/C works, but my defroster, and heater no longer works. I've taken what I can apart and can't seem to find out what's wrong. My plan is to remove the heater core, and misc. heater parts. My plans are going to install a universal heater, such as http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-991106/?rtype=1 Or the Flex-A-Lite Mojave unit. But has anyone done anything like this before? I know people usually do it backwards (removing A/C leaving heater). -Steve

Since acquiring my series I, I have been sorting out various issues including gas fumes in the interior. After reconnecting the vapor control valve to the intake manifold, I noticed I still had the smell of fumes when I parked the car overnight with the windows closed. Yesterday I opened up the right rear interior panel to examine the vapor recovery system expecting to find rotten rubber hoses. The hoses were in surprisingly good shape, so I started examining the fitting when I found the forward tank vent hose nipple was broken off the recovery tank. Aparently someone had shortened the hose at sometime and left the nipple under tension. The through hole in the nipple was …

Is it just my Z, or is the action of the turn signal stalk on our cars incredibly mushy? Call me OCD, but the flimsy stalk and ooze into the detent at the end of its travel definitely have a somewhat negative effect on my overall driving experience in the Z. Other cars, whose turn signal stalks snap into position with a positive, non-flimsy *click* or *thunk* just feel that much more special and substantial to drive. It doesn't help, either, than the action of the headlight switch is excellent and free of play. So is it just my Z? If not, does it bother anyone else? And is there anything that can be done?
