Ok...new to the forum and have a question...is a white interior worth keeping? I must admit that with my limited 240Z experience I have seen few cars with white interiors and lots with black ones. My personal preference is a black interior, but I am also a "purist" (previous experience with Camaros and Mustangs...please don't hate me) and am leaning towards the white interior if it can be resurrected to look showroom new once more. The current interior looks like hell...white vinyl on the tunnel is streaked with brown, buckets are shot, and the rear plastic trim is basically tan and falling apart. Can the white vinyl pieces still be sourced, or can black pieces be dyed or…

I've looked through the previous threads and haven't found anything regarding whether the 240Z black door panels are still available through Nissan. I have seen a few sets of these sell on Ebay...always in the $500-750 range. Are they still available and what are the part numbers? I am converting my original white interior to black (exterior color is code 110...red-orange) and will need black door panels. Is the appearance of the newer panels much different than the originals...I have heard the grain of the vinyl replacements is somewhat different. Another question...the white trim around the windshield is held in place by the w/s gasket and appears to be the most difficu…

I was poking around as usual today and I noticed the light switch inside my glove box. I popped a bulb in and to my delight it worked. Here's the problem (and I'm sure this is quite typical). The glove box door is warped so it doesnt depress the switch button and turn off the light. It looks like a new door from MSA is $80. Any ideas on clean ways to extend the switch plunger to make it longer and therefore turn off the switch with the warped door I have? Of course, I can also try to extend the door area where it is supposed to hit the switch, or both. Has anyone ever successfully 'unwarped' one of these doors? Finally, I have pictured the door. The 'Datsun'…

Have tried to search the forums looking for info on removing the heater and a/c box from inside my 72 240Z. I need to remove it so that I can finish the rust and rot repair on the passenger side of the car. Didn't know which forum to post this in so if there is a better one please let me know. Thanks!

Have a bead on an early 260 parts car. But I primarily need interior pieces. Console, door panels, etc... will they fit my car. Not concerned with originality just function. Unrelated to interior but guy says he has l28 5 speed but doesn't know whether it came from z or zx. Where are numbers I can look up located on tranny or is there and easy way to determine what it is? Thanks

I am considering redoing the seats in my 1973 240Z in leather. I have been looking at both the MSA and classic Datsun leather kits but I have been unable to find much on the forum from folks that have used either kit. Anyone have any experience with leather in a Z?

Does anyone have experience with the carpet kits from the Datsun Store / z Specialties? http://www.datsunstore.com They have a 13 piece sectional carpet that I am thinking about buying. Also, while replacing the carpet, thought I would add a new audio system. (Alpine deck, Boston Accutics Amp, Infinity 3-way 6x9s) I noticed that MSA has a 6x9 speaker panel that replaces the tail light panel. Has anyone seen these panels? If so, do they work well? Do they look good? Are they fair quality?

Have a early 71 240. The interior has been removed. No carpet or vinyl installed. Im a bit confused as to what interior kit I should buy. I assume I can do whatever I want but I like the vinyl but was vinyl and carpet used at same time from factory? Thanks. Also missing some if the panels around the rear deck that hide quarter wells and such. Any relatively cheap options for replacing those?

I trying to referbish my 4/71 240Z as close to original, including rubber bushings and proper plating of fasteners. . . The sound dampening mats on the drivers and passenger floor boards are cracks and are starting to come up and will need replacement material. I found the product at JC Whitney, however they tried to send it to me 9 times without getting one that was damaged, poor packaging that the would say they try something new and it would just come damage, it was a big waist of time. Same with Summit they told me a product was the butyl material when I got it it wasn't they charged me a restocking fee (was not happy since it was theirs staff that miss lead me). …

Our club has an event this Saturday that I don't want to miss. I've been meaning to change out the stock steering wheel for a new Grant wheel, but I have limited time between now and Saturday. I don't want to start the project and not get finished in time for the event. Can anyone give me an idea how long it took them to do this swap? I am pretty handy, but not a mechanic, if that helps.

Have purchased a fairly nice 76 280z. There are a couple of items that I am working on and thought I would ask the group here: 1: Would a center console from a 77/78 work fine (without mods) in a 76? 2: Turn signal auto return does not work when turning left or right. Without digging into it yet, is there a general fix? I'm guessing I will have to dig into it to find out.
