From IRS to the Z

[Mike]

I ended up seeing quite a tax return this year. It was really

quite a shocker to know how much money I'd get back because of

all the money I gave the bank on interest for my home.

Anyway, I'm going to spend my refund on the Z. First thing is to

get my dash shipped of to AUS for the re-cover. Or, do you guys

know if I can still get a new one from Nissan?

Second, I need to purchase wiring harnesses for the engine bay

and interior. Same question... can we still get these new? If

not, who makes good aftermarket wiring harnesses?

I'll save the other questions for later. Believe me, I've got

more.

According to the guy I bought my Zed off, the original owner said that the dash started to crack after only about two years of Australian South Coast sun (which isn't that harsh). The dash I had recovered (for a Ford Escort) is still going strong five years later. So assuming that any dash you would buy from Nissan is new old stock, it probably wouldn't last long.

So send it down under!

Hmm... that's good advice. I was wondering if the NOS would only give me the same problems down the road.
