Does anyone have really good photo of this decal, I thought I could remove it to plate the cover, but I destroyed it in the process without taking a good photo first. I hope to get it reproduced.

I really need some help and search hasn't been my friend. I have a 6/70 car that had its doors & strikes removed for paint. The doors and strikes are now back on the car. Both doors line up great but both need to be slammed pretty hard in order for them to latch. Is there a technique to aligning the strike other than total guesswork? The car doesn't have any weather strip on it yet and both doors closed perfectly prior to the latches being removed. I should note that I don't have the dovetails installed on the doors yet. I could see how that might help a little bit but they seem to break easily if under too much stress. Any advice? Thanks

I need to either rebuild or replace the steering rack in a late 70 build Series 1 car. I have a 2/71 parts car that I can rob the rack from to rebuild without putting mine out of commission. However, is there an online tutorial for this and a rebuild kit, or is it recommended that I find a replacement rebuilt/new rack? Thanks in advance.

I really want a project car. But im debating what will run it. Do I leave the stock L24 engine? Maybe bore out the cylinders? Do a complete swap? If i swap it, what's a good cheap engine to use? I dont really know where to start with engine builds.

I bought this pair of replacement seat belts at Motorsport Auto today. They are made by Retro Belt. The hardware for both sides is identical, yet the installation is definitely not the same on the left and right side. It seems like the hardware is set up for the passenger side. A couple of mounting mounting brackets have a bend in them, and they are both bent the wrong way for the driver's side. There are no instructions for mounting these belts in a 240Z ,by the way. There is a one-page instruction on some extra work needed to mount them in a '70-'71 (extra hole needs to be drilled in the car), but nothing else. That made the job much more difficult than it needed to be…

So I almost lost the Z this afternoon. I probably would not have been hurt, at least not seriously, but the car would have suffered significantly. With that in mind, does anyone have a recommendation for a dashcam that they like?

Looking for a picture of the original factory installed 240z inner door plastic vapor barrier. I have been so busy the last 3 years with www.240zrubberparts.com helping out other owners with their projects, my project has been stalled out. I started working on getting the doors back together today. Everything has been replated and installed new window rollers and cups.

The steering wheel that’s in my 75 280z has this leather cover. I tried slowly opening up the cover to see what it looks like underneath and couldn’t really figure out what kind of material lies under the leather cover. Anyone else have photos of what his steering wheel might look like without the cover?

Looking for the help of a fellow z fanatic! I recently came across a listing for a 240z that im interested in buying. Only problem is that im in Ohio and the car is in Odessa, Texas. Anyone live nearby or know somebody nearby? I'd like to know what im buying before I have it shipped. Haha. I recieved pictures of the car, but I really won't know what kind of condition its really in until I get a look at the details. Message me for further information. I'd really appreciate it!

Hi all, Below are two pics from The 240Z Guild's 1971 Datsun 240z Series One (#19769) with 64k miles still wearing its original factory Code 905 Monte Carlo Red paint. As you can see these pics show the Yellow Inspection Paint Dabs From The Assembly Line on part of the suspension. When did the factory start using the yellow inspection paint? Starting in 10/69? Or when? What areas of the 240Z had Yellow Inspection Paint Dabs? Were there other colors used in other areas of the car? Here is a link to the facebook post on the car showing the car inside and out for those who want to look at the original factory paint job with no fa…
