Please help me before my dad gets back

[drivefaster83]

Ok I have been working on my dad's 83 280zx 5 speed non turbo. Well lets say Zippy has a short somewhere and the turn signals don't work (taking her to a shop to get that worked out). Either way in the process of tracing it down and repairing many burnt out wires I had to take out the dash and well I took out the Analog Speedometer cluster and my 3 year old well he broke the tachometer and the fuel needles off of it and well finished off the Speedometer as well. The speedometer didn't work any way but now it is really broken. I really don't want my dad to see it when he gets back like it is now..... So what I am really saying is I need to find a Gage cluster for not too much money. So If any one has one or knows where I can find one please let me know.

I am having the wiring fixed so it can be registered and inspected in Texas since his came from out of state. Dad was kind enough to let me drive her while he was out of state while my 95 Pontiac Bonneville is in the shop. Another story but I really want to find one so that he can see that I love this car too (and maybe when he gets ready to get rid of Zippy well he will let me have her or sell her to me). Thought I wouldn't but I do she is so much fun to drive.

You need Tom Cruise to get some hookers together and stage a one-night sex ordeal to make lotsa money, and then you could buy a new car!

email me at arts@nissansportmag.com and I will get you the number of someone who should have the parts and will give you as good a deal as you will find.

TomoHawk aren't you supposed to submerge the car in the Great Lakes before gathering hookers for your one night "Risky Business" affair?

Wish I could help, sounds like the guys at Nissan Sport have got a line on parts for you. Good luck.

Don't forget to catch the glass orb too.

HaHaHa you guys. and it wasn't a glass orb but a crystal egg. And it ended up with a hairline crack in it.

At least I have been working on the car and will be retuning it in better shape than dad left it. I just need this piece. And was coming here first cause i thought someone would know where to find one and help.

I will be having her repainted before he gets back and a new dash installed.

I just really didn't want to spend a lot on this part for everything else that I will be spending on it for him.

Sorry to rant just this is my dad's car and I broke something and reallywasn't planning on spending money on a part that could have been repaired just doing some fix the car up kind of thing for him cause I know that he was going to sell one of his z cars was hoping that he would keep this one and sell the other. And if I worked hard enough then maybe he would sell the other to me as a project car.
