   New door lock cylinders don't lock/unlock

   May 31, 2011 by GIchiro

   Just bought new door lock key cylinders (unfortunately made in Hong Kong "ChingYing" on the key). -Installed and they won't lock or unlock the door. -Tried to swap the old lock lever and it would unlock but not lock the door. -Do I need to lengthen the linkage bar a touch? It seems that I need more "throw" to acivate the lock/unlock. Thanks, GIchiro

   Does anyone have experience with the replacement seat foam offered online? I'd like to replace the driver side bottom seat foam because it has flattened, and not sure if this is an easy replace or not.

   Removing aftermarket steering wheel: How do I remove this part?

   Hey guys, it's been a good long while since I've posted a question in here, but I'm hoping somebody here can point me in the right direction. When I bought my car, it came with a RAID brand steering wheel that has slowly been disintegrating/wearing out year by year. I'm finally looking to put something more modern on it, but I'm not in the mood to drop the $$$ for a brand new RAID or NARDI wheel. That being what it is, I've decided that I want to put a Grant wheel adapter on there, but this (obviously) entails removing the old hub adapter/spacer so I can put a new one on. I'm down to the point where there's nothing else that bolts off (wheel's gone, spacer's gone), bu…

   I have this little hook that is about shoulder height just behind the passenger door of my '73 240z. Any idea what purpose this served? Should I assume there was supposed to be one on the driver's side too? If so, if anyone has a spare one they'd like to get rid of, please let me know. Thanks!

   Anyone have luck stopping the plastic interior panels from creaking? I'm not really into placing torn match book wedges all over the place. Can I take the panels off and use some sort of rubber lining or spray to quite down the creaking? Helping mom out to quite down the 280z.

    Driving around in the beautiful weather today I noticed how freakin hot my dash gets (and it is only 80 degrees out). It is in mint condition with no cracks at all. What is the best way to keep it this way? Should I get a dash carpet? Cap? Some sort of protectant and pray that it still does not crack? How about the reflective windshield shades? Thanks!

    Hiya Im about to install my original door panels WITHOUT the rivets. All the rivetholes on doors are somewhat busted so they wont hold, also the rivets in panel dont stay in place, cardboard is ripped in those places. Has anyone experience installing door panels "other" way? I can't remember where someone suggested me to use this http://www.3mselect.co.uk/p-1016-3m-5313-butyl-strip-sealant-20mm-x-10m.aspx to attach the panel to the door. I got small piece of this butyl strip and it seems very sticky. It suppose to be weather resistant. Thoughts?:bulb:

    What is this steering wheel from?

    I got it off of ebay about two years ago. It's in pretty good shape, although it could use a paint job. It fits fine, but its a little bigger around, and it has those horn buttons on the spokes. I like the horn buttons, as they make it easier to honk the horn, something I find I need to do a lot in such a little car. Just the other day an idiot in a hummer started backing right into me in a parking lot. I don't think he could see me, he was sitting so high. Anyway, does someone know what Datsun from which it came?
