Does anyone know if a rollbar from a 2 seater coupe will fit in a 2+2? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dave B.

Hi I want to order a carpet kit for my 1978 280z but my rear cargo area is raised but drops down at the rear shock towers and there is a 2 handle lid that lifts up to give access to the storage area below. Will a regular carpet kit work? Here are a couple of pictures. I've never seen a configuration like this before. Is this a mod that someone did? Also is this carpet loop or cut pile? Thanks Randy

Hey guys, I recently replaced the heater core in my 1977 Datsun 280z and when I went to switch the top level (from ac, to bi level , to heat, to defrost), the switch felt rather loose and it didn't seem to switch anything. It opens the two bottoms doors (below the heater core), but does not seem to do anything else. I believe something is not connected but I can't seem to find out what. I'm really frustrated, and just want to figure this all out. Thanks John

I owe a thank you to someone... I just did a search to see if I could figure out who. A year or more back, someone gave a head-up on a Craigslist like new dashboard in the Seattle area. The price was dirt cheap considering it was like new, has all the gauges installed and wiring harness in place. $300 as I recall. I had a friend local to the guy make the deal in person and pay cash. He held the dash until spring in his spare bedroom and then brought it down to me in the back of his SUV. Anyway, today my '73 240Z got treated to a like new dashboard and a Mr. K autographed glove-box door. Not quite ready for pictures yet but soon. I have to pick up the newly powdercoated da…

I was putting my new carpet in #32 today and after I got it all back together it seemed like I had a lot of extra length left over on the luggage straps. I looked at my other cars and noticed the top part of the strap with the buckles was much longer in #32 than the other straps I have. I have some extras from parts cars, so I switched them out with a smaller pair. I also noticed that there seem to be two different types of material used on the strap sets I have. On some sets the material is rougher and has more of a square weave to it, and on other sets the material is much smoother and has more of a diagonal weave to it. The smoother set seems like it is made out a…

One of the pins (in the console) that allows the fuse box cover to pivot is broken on my 73. There was a post about repairing this about six months ago, but I can't find it. I recall that the recommended approach was to use a right angle drill to drill out the stub and replace it with ??? I can't find a suitable replacement. Suggestions? Thanks.

I made floor heater-duct diverters and a plenum for the center vent using a rapid prototyping machine. It’s essentially a 3D printer. You send the 3D CAD file to the printer and 4 to 12 hours later a plastic part emerges. Pretty cool technology. The parts are made of white polycarbonate which I painted black. Attached are pics of the center plenum before paint, and then mounted to the control panel. It’s held on using vinyl covered spring clip taken from my old door seals. The floor duct diverters will be glued to the bottom of the heater box vents. (see attached pic). These will direct the air into the footwells. I plan to install the controls this…

Attached is a pic of my “temporaryâ€� front kick panel speaker mounts. (Ignore the sawdust, I was cutting & fitting). They have 4â€� Pioneer, 3-way speakers mounted on wood spacer rings. The kickboards themselves are made of 1/8â€� thick paper composite board covered with upholstery vinyl. The wood rings are covered with vinyl tape. My plan for this winter is to make similar kickboards with the speakers on angled spacers that project the sound out & up about 15 degrees from the plane of the kick panel. This will provide better high frequency sound to the driver & passenger. I also plan to add 3/8â€� radius between the spacer and the kick plate fo…

Have you ever heard or seen "Nismo Racing Mirror" that were only used on race track back then. It was made by NISMO for Skyline GT-T (Hakosuka) and S30 Z cars on tracks. The last good condition original one that was sold costed "210,000Yen" (About $2300!!!!!!) Reproduction ones used to be available until few years ago for $700, or so. During this trip to Japan, I found this company that just started making ones again at less cost. As original, tt is made of Alumnum with 2mm thick chrome mirror, and it looks just like original one. Installation is very simple. All you have to do is that you replace your old leg off your mirror and replace it. If anyone wants ones, ple…

I am redoing my door panels and don't know how to attach the fuzzy window strip to the edge of the door panel. The original fuzzy strip was attached using several large staples. I have not been able to find any kind of stapler that I thought would work for this. My only other thought would be a heavy duty epoxy to hold it. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks. carl

In the process of replacing my interior with new parts and I have run into a snag with the dog leg trim that goes behind the door. I am short at least one or two of the original clips that attach the trim to the body but that isn't the problem. In attempting to use the clips I am having a heck of time getting them properly located on the new trim piece. I attempted to use universal trim clips made of plastic from ACE Hardware (I love their fastener department) but the ones I bought were too big. I will go back and buy smaller ones but I am wondering what others who have used this replacement part have done.
