S30Driver Posted February 21, 2022 Share #98 Posted February 21, 2022 Looks like your making progress, dash looks good... What is the switch on the console near the ashtray for?

What is the switch on the console near the ashtray for? Dad says it’s for fog lights/driving light install later(he never got around to it). I’ll probably going to install driving or fog lights in the brake ducts of the front spoiler. Need to find ones that fit the duct size.

MM569457 Posted February 21, 2022 Author Share #101 Posted February 21, 2022 The interior is all there, in pieces in the back hatch including a new drivers seat cover.

MM569457 Posted February 26, 2022 Author Share #102 Posted February 26, 2022 Moving day. The car needs to be moved due to the house having foundation issues in the garage, plus safety concerns doing further work with dropping the engine on the inclined driveway. Long story short, I may need to tighten the emergency/parking brake… it had too much slack for comfort during the move but seems solid when parked. it’s now at the house waiting for further work. Not a fan of the HHR btw. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/60341-resurrecting-a-1977-280z/?page=9#findComment-636475 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM569457 Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share #103 Posted February 27, 2022 Interesting question I have. The Nissan Motor key always unlocked the steering wheel. I have another set with a Nissan motor key that worked. Both Nissan motor keys used to work. There is a spare “non-Nissan motor key” that unlocks the steering wheel. the Nissan keys were good to go until yesterday. Any ideas?

S30Driver Posted February 28, 2022 Share #104 Posted February 28, 2022 Lube the key (graphite is best) and move the steering wheel slightly as you turn the key. Maybe the lock has worn more since you tried those keys last.

MM569457 Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share #105 Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) I’ll take a look at that when I get back. Ima bout to be gone for 3 weeks. Bringing it to my house helps now I can tinker 30 min here and there, as opposed to spending half a Saturday across town. Plus I have more workspace in my garage than before. Gave the car a light wash. It definitely will need a good compound and wax. Some areas of the fiberglass is cracked, especially where the spoiler meets the hatch. I probably will get a fresh paint once it’s all done, and will probably remove the spoiler and mount at separately to prevent chipping there in the future.

Patcon Posted February 28, 2022 Share #106 Posted February 28, 2022 It's very difficult to glass things onto the car and make them stay long term. Just too much vibration for the connection 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/60341-resurrecting-a-1977-280z/?page=9#findComment-636593 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM569457 Posted March 5, 2022 Author Share #107 Posted March 5, 2022 Jacked the car up. Applied penetrating oil to the underside of the E-Brake. Going to let it sit overnight before I hit it in the morning. 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/60341-resurrecting-a-1977-280z/?page=9#findComment-636805 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM569457 Posted March 5, 2022 Author Share #108 Posted March 5, 2022 Adjusted the e-brake this morning. Less play now in the handle. 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/60341-resurrecting-a-1977-280z/?page=9#findComment-636831 Share on other sites More sharing options...
