77 Z

Oh ok. yep mine both had lids, somewhat padded , of course not leather, but it or they both have lids.

Well if that is the case then my brand new 78 ( back in Dec 77) had a console from an earlier model..who knows..the one on the right is like what I have so that would be out of a 77 or 78 unless Datsun pulled a fast one , who knows.

The second one , the one in the yellow box along side the blue one is for a 77 or 78 either Z

Z Excellence, ck your msgs..that was the entire problem, fixed it today , thanks for the information, I had changed the vac hoses but had not tightend the screws nor cked the fitting when doing so , did it and now it all works as it should. 77Z

Im in South Carolina, only have the ability for 7 characters including spaces. Would like some ideas for a license plate ( vanity plate) Any help will be appreciated, one thing, I do not want to use the color of the car in the tag , right now Im still debating on a paint color, i.e changing it or staying with the color ( stock gold for a 77) But Just throw out some legit ideas and thanks for the help and suggestions. 77 Z

Ah man that first pic is enough to make a grown man cry.

Exactly why I got my first Z . It was a gift Christmas and college graduation, my parents, my dad ask one last time about a Corvette , put him in both on a winding road, that ended all discussions about why I wanted the Z vs the Vette. Had that one from Dec 77 to July of 93 , sold it like a idiot, waited till I could find one in good enough condition to make me happy , did so in 2000 and have that one now, the first one was a 78 this one is a 77. You dont own a Z for straight line driving for sure.

Run a 205 / 50 / 15 on my Z without any probs at all, stock springs. May however go to a 16 in rim and change the springs to eliminate the large gap between the top of the qtrs / fdrs and the top of the tire. Depends on what my son does to his 99 Mits Eclipse , he may give me his 16 in , OZ Formula 1 wheels.

Well mine is simple, I own and drive a 77 Z

What do you mean "for the young guys" . I just turned 54 today and as long as my eyes continue to work I will never tire of T & A .

I would ck with the dealer on this, had the same deal with mine one time and dont remember which way it was to go, but reset it back to the orig position, I think right is open but ya know im really not sure, ck with the dealer , they should tell you without having to see the car.

Ah man thats one of the reasons for driving a sports car, enjoy the sound as well as the looks you get from others wondering whats under the hood. Nothing beats the down shifting sound that a Z can produce when you have a set up to enhance it.

Like I said , Im going back to the dealer filter, they also recommend 10W30 non synthetic oil in a 77 with the stock engine. This car has never been run with synthetic oil in it , it does not burn nor use any oil so Im not going to change anything right now , I also cked on the valve cover gasket from the dealer , thought I might change that due to the mileage 82,000 ( original miles) even though there isnt a prob with the one currently on it I just am thinking why not , its pretty simple to do so might as well put a new one on before the original one begins to leak, on the other hand , no leak why mess with it at this time, but the filter will be the OEM one for sure.

Called the dealer today , they hve the OEM , $ 7.00. Think Im gonna go with that from now on, makes more sence to me to use the OEM the more that I have thought about this. Funny as important as the oil is , I had really given more thought to it due to the frequency of changing the oil than to the filter, I grew up with Fram and had pretty much used it most of the time over the years, except when allowing one of the Oil change places to change the oil ( very infrequently) on my other cars. But the more I am thinking of this , Im gonna go back to the OEM filter.
