The best method I found to restore a badly sun-damaged console was to remove it carefully out of the car. Then give it a good scrubbing with a soapy solution. Let it dry for a couple of days and finally spray it with something like Krylon satin clear acrylic.

Hello, You should only have two bumper brackets (one for each side). Hope this photo helps:

Put it in your office break room kitchen. People will think it's a new expresso machine

Here's part of a thread that I contributed to over four years ago (where has the time gone!) showing a comparison to DI seat kits compared to the my orginal seats. As you can see, the grain pattern on the sides of the aftermarket ones are not a deep as the original. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showpost.php?p=128080&postcount=5

My 1993 Toyota MR2's steering wheel leather was cracking. I sent it in to American Stitches back in Feb 2005, and had it recovered for $279.00. Sounds like a lot, but the quality of their work was worth it...IMHO. The steering wheel is still holding up great today.

It's also up for auction on ebay as item number 120473777402. There's about 20 additional photos shown on the listing.

Nice photos of his party here: http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=3601&ppuser=15302

Tom, I did a Google search and came accross an XML file on this VIN that stated the following: 1970 HLS30-02126 Now L28 03-70 Now 5 Spd 905 Red Black Purchased late 1983 from PierreZ, refresh in 2000....many upgrades and mods, weekend toy! Have you tried contacting Pierre Z and asked if they have any old records on your vehicle? http://www.pierrezcar.com/contact.html

When I took mine off years ago it required a shot of WD-40 and pulling the wheel toward me while rocking it side-to-side.

1. Check your point gap and dwell if you are still running an original distributor. 2. Check your timing. Good luck!

I suggest contacting Distinctive Industires in Commerce, CA. I believe they supplied the seat vinyl for the Z Car restoration program years back. They might sell remnant material to you. http://www.distinctiveindustries.com/au.html

Here's a thread on the subject I added my 2 cents on. It has the paint combo I used to restore my tail light panel and front grill. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13593&highlight=rear

Nice shots! You can never go wrong with a silver 240Z.

Well, the car didn't sell this go around. I'm kind of shocked that the best offer the seller got was $14,100. It might be smart to sit on the car until the economy improves and Americans discover the next bubble.

Welcome! I would try to PM member Kats. Here's his website http://www.geocities.jp/datsunz903/

Have you checked with Mike McGinnis at Banzai Motorworks? zspert@olg.com http://www.zzxdatsun.com/

I think we can all agree that 11/04/2008 is a special moment in time for our nation.

Have you asked anyone associated with http://www.zccc.org/index.htm ?

It looks like part of an electronic ignition system to me.

Hi Scott, I found this tool kit inventory list in my '72 (mfg. 12/71). As for the green strap, I have no clue

Here's a post I did a few years ago which has a link to some Freeze 12: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showpost.php?p=133514&postcount=2 I just tested the URL and it still works!

I restored a set a few years ago. I used gel paint stipper to remove the peeling finsh from the spokes and center caps. After a good dry and rinse, I applied quick release tape over the entire front part of the wheel and cut out the spoke centers with an Xacto knife. Then, I used Dupli-color dark argent wheel paint to refinish the centers. Finally, I used Mother's wheels cleaner and many hours of polishing by hand to get the shine back.

Welcome to the forum! I currently own a '72 that I had shipped from Kansas to California. My main objective was to find a one owner, low mileage car with little or no rust. I got lucky on all counts. Like me, it sounds like you're the kind of person who parks their car a million away from other vehicles In late 1989, I bought a cherry red pearl 240SX hatchback when they first came out. I probably would still have if it wasn't for the fact that I got shipped overseas. Again, welcome and take advantage of the forum's seach function to find a lot of good advice. Most of us have been there and done that!

Albeit not my 240Z, I swapped out the R-12 on my 1993 MR2 to Freeze 12 about a year ago. No problems with the switch and I am very satisfied.
