So I noticed as I was putting my new interior in, that the scuff trim on both sides that grabs on to the interior door weatherstrip was rusted and the 'leather look' lamination was coming off. A little research on the part of my buddy Mat here locally after I asked him if he had a spare set in his stash revealed that they are available new from a couple sources and there was a set for sale on eBay in a buy-it-now auction. I grabbed the eBay set as it was $40 cheaper than either MSA or BD. It arrived today and I was somewhat dismayed to discover that the Nissan superceded part is structurally identical but painted instead of laminated with the 'leather look' stuff. I run …

I am building a new track car and decided to use the original heater/vent system... I figured I would give a complete makeover... I started by tearing everything down completely.... Then I sandblasted every nook and cranny... I used self etching primer and 4 coats of metallic black paint... I covered every nook from all angles... It WILL LAST my lifetime... Before!!!! smelled like burning hair and sounded like a rattlesnake... It blew leaves, dirt, and bugs in your face at speed... Repainted inside and out... Honda blower/fan drops in the 240Z snail housing... completed blower unit.... I am waiting on the radiator shop to rebuild my heater core.…

Lastly, I need to make the control nomenclature on the facia match the new functions of the system. I’m going to print new control labels on adhesive backed mylar and cover with clear tape. The place these over the markings on the facia plate. (See pic) I’ll have to paint the embossed “DEF� above the bottom control black. This is not finished yet, but it's pretty easy and should look OK.

The Vintage Air (Indak) rotary fan speed switch was incompatible with the stock facia plate, and decided to see if I could make the stock fan switch work. I mapped-out the connections for both the Indak and original Z fan speed switchs. The original switch will work if I add a jumper wire for the A/C power. It's the A/C wires shown on the circled section of the wiring diagram. (See Pics)

Any one see any obvious pitfalls in trying to install the compressor, condenser, and dryer from a 88 300ZX to the old dealer installed A/C that came with a 240Z.

I recently purchased MSA seatbelts and now that i installed them i cant pull seat full back. Retractor is on the way. Also it barely retracts anything, that's not safe. I also got MSA carpets and those little carpets behind the seats wont fit in to place if the retractors are installed... I feel quite frustrated after waiting 4 weeks of this package to arrive and then i get this. Suggestions?

I posted a review in the Product Reviews section for future searches there, but since I don't know how many people look at the reviews section, I thought I'd also post a quick shout here as well. I bought a pair of black sisal floor mats from www.cocomats.com and could not be more pleased. Hand-crafted in South Carolina, these are some VERY nice mats. Very heavy duty (they weigh 7+ lbs. each), great materials and fit, non-slip backing, nice heel pad, etc. I really don't see much of anything that I'd want to change - they are that good. I highly recommend them.

I have a few interior panels with cracks so I broke out the epoxy and fiber tape to reinforce the back... For the warped parts of the panels I stabilized the crack with clamps. I used release paper over the patch so the clamps don't stick while the glue dries. Lots more little cracks to do but so far my test piece seems to be stiff enough for interior panel duty.

OK, I've been looking for some time now for who does the best dash restoration. However I hear little about the more expensive company, Just Dashes, besides they do them. This might not be bad since most people wright about how bad their dash fit from other companies or how cheap they got it done for. The thing I liked is they replace the foam, while others companies seem to fill in the cracks and re-vinyl over the top. One of the big reasons foam-vinyl dashes crack is the foam gets old and shrinks. My concern is how accurate to original are their dashes? It would be nice to hear from someone from the Z community who has had them do their dash give us an honest rev…
