Trying to figure out if anyone has done this. I want to move the new seat belts to the towers if possible. I don't see how or if I can access the underside of the outer strut tower area where the seat belt reels attach on the 77-78 MY. It looks like that is a closed off area. Pic courtesy of CO My wheel arch - don't recall there being a way to reach into the outer section from below

Got a message the other day of someone selling some black leather 350z seats and I couldn't say no. Well I could of, but the price was great. Being they had red stitching kind of sealed the deal- lol. they are power heated seats so I will have wiring to do plus some fab work. Looking forward to having some more flexibility and comfort in my ride. I guess there will be some 1st gen seats on the market soon! well I would have posted a pic but the upload keeps failing

Hey guys, I am rewebbing my seatbelt and ran into a problem For the life of me I can't get the new webbing through the small slot that is available. Is this thing supposed to disassemble further before I put the webbing in, or does anyone have experience on how to do this? I have tried tying twine to the belt and feeding it through the mechanism. Then I would tug on the twine to pull the belt through, but I still can't seem to do it. It is just too tight to get the belt to feed in that tight of a circle. I found this @Captain Obvious , but unfortunately, pictures are no longer available. I have pulled off the plastic pieces, but my latch mechanism works …

Anyone else order the 280z dash? Hope so see it soon ordered 5 weeks ago, think it was 6-8 weeks for delivery IIRC. When I get it will take some pics, maybe do an install video. My OE dash is in pretty good shape just one big crack near the center starting from behind the clock nacelle, but the new dash was too hard to pass on.

I started looking at my original firewall insulation, and unfortunately, one of the three pieces (right side) is in rather poor condition. I found myself searching for options, looking at what others have done. I found a few posts about the carpet snaps/posts, but not much about anyone who has found suitable materials to reproduce the look of the factory firewall insulation. I like the look of mass loaded vinyl in pictures I have seen, such as this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/373136954065 I have found by reading descriptions that "1 lb" mass loaded vinyl equates to 1/8" thickness. I think that is close to what the original material thicknes…

Hi everybody, i'm currently restoring a total wreck of a 240Z and i'm slowing down and it's getting me down. So something I can do now is replace the seat covers and foam which have had rats living on them for over 20years! I looked on the other threads but could find a discussion specific to the quality of the companies now supplying these kind of reproductions. So advice is gladly accepted hahaha. Thanks for your time everyone and hopefully i won't be the only person to gain from the answers! Matt

Took the driver's door apart today to change the door glass channel. I already knew the door panel was a problem, and that something funky was up with the inner release handle. As far a I can see, the only rubber in the door is the glass guide & the rear molded seal, (front outer seal I've already done) which I have coming tomorrow. First problem was that the window crank was epoxied to the winder Botch repairs here Release plate is cracked & distorted. release rod for outer handle is also a problem. I'll weld the rod. release plate straightened out - have to weld the stress crack & rei…

In my latest attempt at logging tens of hours into refusing to spend $30 and up for parts that should cost <$10, I'm focusing on recreating the chromed plastic cover over the top bolt holding the arm rest onto the door of my 260Z. The part was reportedly never offered on its own and is NLA except as a reproduction. One of mine broke in half and the other is almost at that point. https://www.thezstore.com/product/1517/door-armrest-chrome-finisher-74-78-260z-280z I'm playing around with creating a high quality 3D scan, printing the part with a 3D printer, and coating it with chrome. So far I've attempted with a scan using my Android phone, then a $1K+ st…

I'm looking for some suggestions to buy or make seatbelt extensions for my 73 240Z. I'm looking for something like the airlines use that have the buckle on one end and the male tab on the other end. I would like to be able to attach it to the inner side of the belt (the trans tunnel side) when needed. I don't really want to replace the original belts. I would like to get a pre-made ones, (again like the airlines use) or if I can find tabs and buckles that would work with the factory belts, I can have them made. Anyone know components that would work on the factory belts or have any suggestions to resolve the issue? Thanks

Mikewags and Mike B I am curious if when you finally got the dash out if you found any Japanese Kanji (script) on the bottom side of it? When I did my dash a couple of years ago I found it in my car. I understand it was common for assembly line personnel to do this. I had mine translated and it meant "Spring Time". Here is picture of it. I hope everything goes well on the re-install.

I have two (2) different style/size sunvisors in my spare parts collection: The upper style matches the one in my 1970 240Z. Can anyone identify the year and model of the lower style? Thanks, Keith

Has anyone ever sourced a reasonable facsimile of the chrome trim ring on the early Z bakelite ashtray? I remember finding something in one of my hardware buckets years ago, and it worked quite well as it was a slight ellipse not perfectly round. Alas I don't know what it was sourced from. Checking for a friend...
