I have replaced the windshield-wiper motor on my 1975 280z and know the new one works, but it appears that the actual wiper assembly is frozen. There is one out of a 78 for sale on E-bay, and I am wondering if anyone knows if it would fit my 75. I am finally close to passing inspection in New York, but need this to work. Thanks,

I have a 1977 280z that I am swapping out motors from a 1982 280zx l28et. All of the mechanical part of it is done except the turbo plumbing. The problem im having is the electrical. I just bought a harness for the l28et motor to run the ecu but I dont know where to begin installing it, some of the wires are cut so if you have any pointer or instructions on how to go about this Id appreciate it. If all else fails im also willing to pay any locals to come and help me. thanks, Jon

bought some bumpers from a 71 production 240. went to install onto a 73 but looks like mounts are different. after some research I,ve learned about the introduction in 73 of 2.5km/hr bumpers that sit out from body a little further than previous years. just wanted to locate any helpful info, or possibly a fiche or image of the two different set-ups, so i can figure out a good retro method to get these bumpers mounted. any help would be great, thanks.

Greetings, I tried to clean up the turn signal switch in my 1972 240Z and while successfully cleaning the contacts, managed to break the circuit board when installing it back into the metal case. Le Bummer. Went to the local junkyard and struck out with the Z's. However, on my way out I happened upon a 1976 Datsun pickup (model unknown). I took a look and, damn, the turn signal switch sure looked like the one I was looking for. As it turned out nearly identical. Physically it is exactly the same. One difference is that it uses all six pins in the connector instead of five. The sixth is used by the horn ring which is separate on the Z. I did have to swap a couple of …

I have no idea what the stock mirror was, but my 1972 came with a bullet-style passenger side mirror. I've never been very happy with it because of its small size and laser-like reflection path. Part of my dissatisfaction is, of course, the fact that it has to be manually adjusted (remote mirror control and retractable seat belts about the only really, really, worthwhile advancements in the last 40 years -- in my book) but manual adjustment wouldn't be so bad if it had a field of view wider than a pinhole. I could get it adjusted to cover the blind spot, but if it were bumped or simply vibrated out of position a bit I couldn't tell it was no longer aimed at the blind s…

I recently bought and restored a wooden steering wheel from a 240Z to install in my 260Z. I don't have the horn pad for the 240 wheel, and I would like to figure out how to make the later model horn pad fit. The 260 and 280 pads, though differing in appearance, are interchangeable. Unfortuanately, the same is not true for swapping between those models and the 240s. Any ideas? Has anyone ever seen an adapter that allows the later horn pads to be used on the 240 steering wheels? Thanks in advance!! -Rob
