This may be a stupid question, sorry if it is, but I was wondering if there is a place to go online to buy some of the more unique screws that are used, in particular I am looking for the little black ones that hold that metal trim piece that sits between the windshield and dash board on the 240. Is this a screw I should call a dealiship to look for?

I'd call Motorsport Auto in LA, or a Nissan dealer. May be able to find them from a used Z parts seller also.

Danny's Datsuns in Oregon or Eric Neyerlin in Richmond, CA

BEFORE you go spending big bucks on premium priced screws just to be able to claim that they are OEM and therefore "original", why not check the specialty fastener section of a good hardward store.

Lowe's has a specialty hardware section. True Value hardware stores also carry an excellent assortment of Metric Screws, EVEN in Stainles Steel. Yes you'll pay a bit of a premium for buying them in real small quantities, but you won't be paying $2.00 EACH or anywhere thereabouts.

You will find that the vast majority of them are VERY easy to find and you can get them for as little as 15¢ each in stainless steel for the smaller ones, and still under .50 for the real large fender bolts (again in Stainless).

It does require your getting a tap and die set out so that you can identify size and pitch, but in the long run you'll be better off than if you paid someone else to identify them for you.

Just my 2¢
