  1. Wow. Sorry I can't help you, but sounds like you are planning a serious concours car. Good luck with the project. ps I have a '71 Series 2, and didn't even know there was supposed to be a liner in the tolls boxes!
  2. View Advert Lowering 240Z springs These came with a parts car I bought. They were on the car, but as it didn't run, I believe they have zero miles. Only flaw is a bit of overspray while a friend was painting the frame of another car, and the scratches on the finish of the mounting surfaces. Fronts are 11 inches tall while the rears are 11 5/8. Stock springs for 240 front are 14.7 inches (373.5 mm) left side and 15.1 right (386 mm)(inch measurements on page FA-20 of my FSM are incorrect).

  7. For whatever reason, I find myself with only one seat belt buckle for my '71 Series 2. Been getting along with an old 3" racing belt on the driver side, but I'm now trying to get the car back to original. Photo attached. If anyone has the buckle or the whole belt (I have a contact qualified to make a replacement belt) I'd be happy to pay. I've placed an ad on the Parts Wanted page, but no responses yet.
  8. Thanks Jim, I'll take another run at the local Nissan store. When I was in there about a year ago the relatively new parts staffers told me they could get nothing older than 1975. Actually I'm not quite sure they knew what I was talking about when I said "Datsun." Frankly, Yes, that is the strap have, but as I said I need the chrome end caps. Yarb, Terrapin and S30, thanks for your thoughts - I'm all over this! Cheers, Richard

  11. I have a hodge-podge of seat belts. I'm trying to restore 240Z HLS30 28736 to as original as possible. Aside from some after-market stuff I have one complete Z car female-side buckle - photo attached - but need one more. Can anyone tell me if this is correct for my car. I posed a want ad and one fellow offered my a set which I believe is later series, having plastic reinforcement of one side. Many thanks, Richard McDonel
  12. Jeff,

    If it matches the picture I posted, how much$ do you need ?

  13. View Advert 240Z seat belt buckle I need the seat belt buckle matching the one shown here. If someone has the whole belt, that's OK too, but I have a fellow who is qualified to stich new material. Actually, I only really need the female side of the buckle, but I'll happily buy the set.

  19. I have had a problem with exhaust getting into the cabin of my 240 HLS30 28726. I used a theatre fog machine to find where it was coming in, and found minor leaks around the right tail light, the license plate light and the antenna. Got them all fixed. The remaining problem, and the biggest, is the hatch seal. While the hatch itself is a good fit and well aligned, I'm getting leaks on both sides, but not the top or bottom. The seal itself is only a few years old and has very few miles. The material remains malleable. I believe I got it from the now-defunct Black Dragon Automotive. Can anyone tell me if there varying quality seals out there? Any to avoid, or any to be recommended? Other thoughts? Many thanks in advance.
  20. Personally, when using an open trailer I like some sort of barrier across the front. It stops any direct hits from stones or other road debris, which are the things that can damage your paint and glass. It won't protect you from air turbulence, but that's minor compared to front-end hits. My own open flatbed is a leftover from my racing days and has a full-width storage bin across the front. Works just fine.
  21. Just to let you know, I received a USPS e-mail last night telling me your package could not be delivered because of "unpaid fees."  Then to confuse everything, it tells me that they couldn't find the address when they tried to deliver it May 30, which is kind of curious because the e-mail was sent at 8:30 p.m. May 29.   A final thought is that if the postal service couldn't find my address, wouldn't it be Canada Post rather that U.S. Post notifying me?  

    In any case there seems to be some sort of scam going on (thanks for replying, but just give us your credit card # - and the little number of the back of the card - and, we'll get it to you quick like a bunny!).  

    Just letting you know that there is something fishy going on.

      Very strange, probable just typical spam.  I don't have your email address.  We have only exchanged messages thru Classic Z cars.

  24. I have a 1971 Z, serial # 28726. I restored it from bare stripped body to the point where it is now a very nice driver. I'd like it to be as close to original as possible, but given that three cars - '70, a '71 and a '73 - contributed parts, there is some confusion as to what is correct for this body. For instance, I have the centre console that includes an ashtray and a cigarette lighter, but my dash also has a hole meant for a lighter located under the four-way flasher switch. Which is the correct place for the lighter? Second question, the interior door pull handles - should my '71 have both, none, or just one on the passenger side? The floor under the seats - just jute padding? Or carpet? Any thoughts you might have would be appreciated.
  25. Thanks Keith. I'll take a set. How much $ do you need to send to Canada? Richard McDonel 3313 Spruce Drive, Red Deer, Alberta, Canada T4N 3N7 Phone 403-341-9207
