ok long story short when i removed my console I noticed the rubber shift boot was too small for the hole mabye 2 inch gap at one end(I have a 240z build date 9/70) the hole seems better suited for teh larger shift boot from a 72+ my question is since the later boot has holes in it is it made to be screwed down. not a problem but just want to buy once... another thing i was thinking was mabye I am missing a spacer that was suposed to be used on a series 1? or possibly the po did a auto to manual swap and that is why the hole is larger? I can snap a pic tomorrow if that would help. I just want to have the correct fitting part when I put her back together...any help would be…

I 'm replacing the rear quarter window seals and have a question. The original seals have a lip that goes completely around the interior of the window. I believe this is to cover the trim piece edges or plastic window trim. The pieces that I got from Precision don't have this lip and after getting the part number from carparts, getting the pieces from Nissan, there is no lip. What and where do I get this or what is used instead?? You can see the lip in the pics. On the right side on pic to the right.

I have a 1978 280z that I'm slowly putting back together. After I install the heat and sound prooofing I'm going to need the firewall insulation. Will the pieces that MSA, Black Dragon sell for the 240z work in the 280Z???

So, I recently acquired a 1970 Z. The previous owner decided, for some strange reason, to paint the center console with what looks like bed liner. In short, it looks pretty horrible, I was wondering if anyone knew how I could strip the paint without damaging the fiberglass console. I'd rather not have to buy a new one. Also after stripping the paint, what would be my best bet at restoring the factory finish on the console. Thanks for any info.

I'm thinking about sending my 75 dash out and having it redone. I've done some extensive searches on the forum and am in doubt about sending it to Dashboard Restorations based on the 7+ month turn around and spotty communication that some here have experienced. That's the reason for my questions about Just Dashes. Any input would be appreciated. Mine now is has 2 cracks and the PO glued a dash cover down. It doesn't look terrible but it stands out to me. I don't mind the cost but I'm very particular on the job being done perfectly (that's why I don't want to do it myself).

This may sound like a dumb question. Is there any way to remove the clips found in our cars that have the plastic stick/pin in the middle and not lose the pin? Removing it seems rather obvious, use a small punch to push the pin through and pull the clip out. However one is left to find the pin as it falls out and usually disappears forever. I am tempted to replace all of mine with the small nail head style clips, that way you pull the pin up and remove the clip. Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.

underneath the carpet in the luggage area, facing to the front of the shock towers and behind tool compartment,are two holes that look like speaker holes. The P.O. had sheet metal riveted over top of them, covering them up. Is there a reason for these? Can they be covered and welded closed? Thank you, Timsz

I found a kit on Ebay that takes the choke off the center consol and relocates it to the top of the transmission tower. The kit came in the mail and I noticed it was from Art Stringer of Nissan Sport Mag. He did a great job with this kit, it has great instructions and is really a simple. Once I put the center back on it will look the same as it did coming from the factory but it will not break the center consol. It was mailed to me all for under $25. I will install it this week and try to take pictures; I have never had much success posting pictures on this forum in the past. So far I highly recommend this kit.

Hi all, When something works out well for me, I like to share it with y'all. My stereo system recently went (somewhat) south. It wasn't a very good system, and it turns out the PO had miswired it, with the two-channel power amp driving two full-range speakers PLUS one subwoofer that was wired across the two. Strange. Anyway, that killed the little amp. My goal in re-doing the system was to achieve clean sound with respectable power, but not to create a system that would shatter windows in the neighborhood. My listening tastes are very eclectic -- classical, jazz, rock, more jazz, folk, even more jazz, and lastly... jazz. What I was retiring: -- The power amp (c…
