WTB 280Z Volts/Fuel Gauge
You're absolutely right. I prefer the voltmeter function over the ammeter.

WTB 280Z Volts/Fuel Gauge
Thanks guys. I'm going to buy the '76 gauge from zKars. I think the font for the '76 gauge is similar to what's used in my '75.

Cost to Restore a Zcar
I think refreshing my 1975 Z will end up in the $25k-$30k price range, including the price of the car.

Bumper guards
Geoff, I’m real close to you and would like to see the shift knobs. I have a ratty 4-speed knob I’d like to replace and I have a 5-speed trans that I’ll hopefully install this winter. Maybe this weekend if it works for you. Jimr20165@yahoo.com

Lightweight Flywheels
That’s good to know! I’ll search for reviews before I let any shop do this foe me. I’m a complete novice when it comes to the various Z car shops/vendors.

Lightweight Flywheels
When I get ready to swap my ‘75 280Z’s existing trans/diff to the close-ratio 5-speed and 3.90 R200 that are sitting in my garage, I think I’ll give this outfit a shout about lightening my stock flywheel. https://www.racetep.com/engine-building/flywheel-lightening.html $269 + shipping. I’m not sure if this is market price, so I’ll also look around for shops that might provide better pricing.

Got it, Mark.

new lock set
Charles’ (Patcon’s) suggestion is a good one. I’m planning to follow that advice soon and rekey my 280Z’s locks.

pedal return springs
Mark, it doesn’t have the wide open ends like the original part (see Patcon’s Picture), however, it does go on with a little help from needle nose pliers. I have an extra spring if you’d like it.

Broken Window Roller - Repairable?
Thanks Namerow. You’ve given me another approach to consider. Good question, zclocks. I looked at most of the Z parts websites prior to starting this topic, including Zcarsource. I didn’t see where they carry that part.

Broken Window Roller - Repairable?
Great point about used rollers, Namerow. I’ve got my work cut out for me!

Broken Window Roller - Repairable?
Thanks guys. I also saw that Z Car Depot didn’t have them in stock, but I’ll give them a call on Monday to see if they expect to get more of them. Otherwise, I’ll look for a used one.

Broken Window Roller - Repairable?
Thanks Charles. I don't have a welder, so I'll look for a replacement. Unless something like JB Weld would hold up. Does that idea have much of working out?

Broken Window Roller - Repairable?
I have a broken window roller on the driver's side door. Is this thing repairable (and how?) or should I look for a used replacement? Thanks!

Yep. I’d love to buy new door cards for my ‘75 280Z.
