    You're absolutely right. I prefer the voltmeter function over the ammeter.

    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.

    Hahaha! zKars, I sent you a message.

    I’d like to buy it if you have one that you’re willing to sell. Thanks. jimr20165 at yahoo dot com

    I'm still hoping to buy a good used driver's side window roller. If anyone has one, I hope to hear from you. Email: jimr20165 at yahoo dot com Thanks!

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

    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

    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.

    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.

    Great! I’ll send you a private message to follow up.
  11. SoCalJim replied to Mark Maras's post in a topic in Interior
    Got it, Mark.
  12. SoCalJim replied to thephoenixphoto's post in a topic in Electrical
    Charles’ (Patcon’s) suggestion is a good one. I’m planning to follow that advice soon and rekey my 280Z’s locks.
  13. SoCalJim replied to Mark Maras's post in a topic in Interior
    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.
  14. SoCalJim replied to Mark Maras's post in a topic in Interior
    I ended up using this spring for my clutch pedal.

    Mine is broken, and I'd like to buy a good used one if available. Email: jimr20165 at yahoo dot com Thanks!
  16. 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.
  17. Great point about used rollers, Namerow. I’ve got my work cut out for me!
  18. 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.
  19. 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?
  20. 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!
  21. Motorsport Auto is in Orange and has Koenig, Rota, Enkei wheels shown on their website. http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/CTGY/classic05a02
  22. Yep. I’d love to buy new door cards for my ‘75 280Z.
  23. SoCalJim replied to joe newsom's post in a topic in Interior
    I’ll be doing this in the next week or two, so Joe’s thread and Jim & Scott’s great advice is just in time! ?
  24. SoCalJim replied to grannyknot's post in a topic in Body & Paint
    I think I might go with that Pontiac Blue now that I’ve seen it.
  25. I just chipped it out on my Z. Retired, lots of free time on my hands. ?
