Hi, I am putting new weatherstrips purchased from MSA for my recently painted 1978 260Z. They have been going on fine, but I just want to confirm how the weatherstrips go on the hatch (tailgate) apperature. My Wick Humble book just could not confirm. The inner is on, and there is a top outer and two sides. Both seals are roughly "L" shaped with a slot in the upright to fix to the lip of the apperture. Now, does the flat part of the L go in the bodywork channel, or does it float in the apperature space. I think it is glued in the channel, but I just wanted to ask (maybe stupidly).I did not want to have to try and remove it and glue it in properly. Thanks

I have come across a photo of a Fairlady 432 in alien-e's gallery. The color was stunning, I couldn't get enough of it. He took the photos from the Sports Car Graffiti in Japan. Is this an original Z color, but just for the 432's? I checked the website with stock colors for 240Zs just to make sure I wasn't missing something. Also does anybody know the color code on this beauty? Here are some links to alien-e's gallery of the photo I am talking about Photo 1 Photo 2 Photo 3 Photo 4

Hey all, I was stripping my 71 to go to the paint/body guy when I saw that my front turn signal lens were covered with overspray from the po paint job. I am trying to remove the overspay without damaging the plastic. I tried a adhesive remover but didn't do a thing. I was trying to avoid taking a razor blade to them or replacing them. Any suggestions would be appreciative.

As the Z car got smaller and smaller as I am disassembling it, it became clear to me that she has been in a few minor accidents over the years. The passenger side floor board is raised up and dented upwards. Really I am writing this for any opinions on another are of body damage The front left of the car has been damaged, spanning from where the headlight scoops mount to the crossmember, which is also bent. Look at the photos. The cross member circles also became misconstrued. I realize it is not very major, although if I am getting the car painted and am spending this much time to make retstore it I want it to look the best possbile. I know that replacing it woul…

I recently had my Z broken into through the driver-side window and I am now in the process of finding replacement glass. I have searched extensively in the Dallas, Texas area with no luck whatsoever. If anyone could recommend a dealer (online or otherwise) who would have window glass for a '73 I would be endlessly thankfull.

So my '71 240z has the usual major floor panel rust and now that my suspension is all about to be put in, I think I should start welding in new floors. I've been looking at this site www.datsunzparts.com of Zedd Findings. Researching through other Z forums, I hear a lotta good word on this company's floor panels and that they actually distribute their parts to MSA. Would you guys agree to me purchasing floor panels from here? If so, I got another question. The rust is directly in the center of the floor panel and doesn't seem to have spread beyond it. Should I still order the Floors and Support Rail set or just the Floors?

Ok all you Aussies(and Kiwi's maybe) Since all Aus Z's had the smaller bumpers (240 style) for all years 70-78, can you guys find these bumper with great regularity at junkyards or even for sale in local classifieds easily? Did the mounting brackets change from year to year? Is there a mounting bracket used in the later years that used similar mounting places (on frame) to the 280z bumpers in the USA? i.e. same mounting location but with only a bracket instead of the 5mph shocks used here. Thanks.
