Hello, all I am in the last stage of dash removal(76 280Z). On the factory service manual there's one instruction that I am not very clear of : 9.Remove Screws securing side ventilator control bracket in place. I don't know what it is referring to? or where it is. My current situation is : I haven't disconnect things behind the dash, but most related nuts(if not all?) are removed. Dash is free to move on the passenger side, but something on the driver side keeps it from coming out, it will only come out 1 or 2 inches. As I pull, it feels like something is stuck, but not electrical connections nor steering shaft. Please advise. Thanks

What is the BEST product you have found to aiding in the removal of rusted on or otherwise stuck nuts and bolts? I have heard to use a 'penatrating oil' but that's a bit gernic, what brands have you found to work the best? I am going to get back to stripping down my parts car and many of the nuts and bolts have never been loosened are are quite stuck.

I have a 72 240....body is shot, but it is all there. I purchased a 1970 that is in great shape but it is gutted.....No dash no wiring harness...no motor....no fuel tank. How difficult and how much time will it take to swap all parts from one car to another? Am I getting into a big mess with this project?

OK........I bought a great condition 1970 240 that is gutted. I am transplanting the motor,trans,dash,wiring harness from a 1972 240. The vin# is one digit off on the 1970's title. The state that the car came from does not require a title on a car that old.....The state I am in does. I could not get it titled in S.C. because the Vin on the car was one digit off on the title. (it was a typo). S.C. told me that G.A. needs to correct the title......I called GA and they refuse to correct the title because they do not require a title on that old of a car. So I am kinda screwed......I am going to try the DMV once more tommorrow. If I cant get it straight my only choice is to…

Woe Is Me, I took my 280z down to a Car Wash Place that also does Detailing. They Steamed cleaned the engine, painted(?) some of the wires, buffed the car ...etc. The problem? ...... :mad: When I try to accelarate, the car tends to want to stall. Car runs fine to 2500 rpm, but when I push the gas pedal down, it seems to starve for gas or something. It sounds like someone reving the engine up and down several times. What's Wrong? Please Advise Thanks in advance.

Hi, all. I am currently trying to remove my seat belt assemblies. I've looked up Factory Service Manual, Haynes book, and "How to restore your Datsun Z-car", but none of them shows exactly how to remove the assembly that bolts on the floor. The factory service manual shows how to remove the part on the strut tower and the belt lock near the console, but said nothing about removing the part that's on the floor. I've got the two small screws on the plastic cover off, and the big bolt(thru floor) off, but looks like there is still a bolt deep in the plastic cover that is out of reach. The car is a 1976 Datsun 280Z. Thanks in advance

I have worked out that the horrible noise coming from the rear of my car is one of the uni joints in the half shaft, so I will be replacing them. Just so I know before I start ringing around some shops, are the tail shaft one's the same as the half shaft ones, or different. Thanks Scott

On my '78 280Z with original everything... The #3 injector is dripping small drips (fortunately) of gas onto the intake manifold. I thought it would be easy to just replace the one rail-to-injector hose, or all 6 for safety. then I noticed that there is some kind of a crimp-type clamp on the injector. Can you still replace just the hose? thx
