So many Z's, of all numerologies, have popped up that I thought it might be good to collect them here. Feel free to add old or new stuff. There's a bunch out there right now, for some reason. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1975-datsun-280z-26/ https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1976-datsun-280z-38/ https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/64614-1270-on-ebay-barn-find/ https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/62501-brand-new-280z/ https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/64653-1970-nissan-fairlady-z-hs30-03647-on-craigslist/ https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/64539-31k-miles-series-i-240z-up-for-auction-on-bat-over-100k-on-first-…

Bought the rear hatch inner seal for my 72 from MSA. Bought it there because their description says “after years of not carrying the hatch seal, we now do because this one is good blah blah” FYI, it’s made by precision. Nothing special. And the hatch now sits like 3/4 inch proud above the body. Way too thick. And I’m having to force the hatch closed. They shouldn’t be stocking this item. Feel like I got ripped off. Anyway, I think my only other option is Vintage Rubber. Anyone here use one yet, and how did it fit? Pics? Thanks[emoji1360] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Has anyone on here installed the Kyusha House electronic fuel pump bracket (https://kyushahouse.myshopify.com/products/zsm-custom-nismo-fuel-pump-bracket-for-s30-240z-280z)? If so do you have any pictures of it installed?

My car was originally an auto. I’m in the process of restoring it, and I’m getting close. I put a 4 speed in it, but there is no standoff on the firewall to prevent the clutch pedal going to far. Could someone do me a big favor and measure the height of this clutch pedal stopper (including the rubber pad)?? Please measure starting from the metal firewall, not the insulation. Greatly appreciated. Here’s the part I’m referencing… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m starting this restoration thread for enthusiasts of the early S30 Works rally cars, so they can follow along, and perhaps also provide comments and their own insights as to the very early days of the S30 Works rally program. I additionally hope that others can chime in with comments, questions, corrections, and feedback as we go along. A preamble: this is a thread about researching, documenting and restoring a genuine 1970 Works Rally car. I’ve owned it for many years, but the realities of real life were getting in the way of getting started on a proper restoration. Given the car's provenance, I knew it would be important to get the history and the details as…

So I happen to borrow a semi-professional steam cleaner machine from a car buddy in town to do a little carpet spot cleaning, and he happens to tell me how great it cleans car parts! So I have this 5 speed with a nice overall coating of 50 year old oil and crap all over it that I can just not “wait” to scrub manually, so I try it. This thing is magical! I knew steam is a common industrial cleaner, but never really considered it for home use. Well, my carpets are clean, and so is my transmission. The pics show one nice little area I cleaned with the rest of the dreary dirty stuff around it. This took about a minute. The cleaning end has a little stiff br…

I was hoping the rear will go in as easy as the front one, but no. If you see the right bracket on the rear bumper shock is a bit inside vs the left one which is pushed out (may be due to the shock?). What it does is I am not able to align the left bumper rubber guard with the left body bolt. The right one aligns fine. Is there an easy way to push the left rear bumper shock in a bit? also need to make sure it does not pop out as it will rip the side rubber boot. Any advise guys? I know there is not a lot of love for the rear bumper in the Z community but I am keep the stock look.

Hello all, I am going to document my build. Basically I have a garage kept series 1 240z. That hasn't driven since 1986, it needed brakes which she couldn't afford so it has sat since. It was resprayed in the 80s as well. Some bad overspray but overall it's a very rust free car. I actually found it in my neighbors garage. My goal is to drive it and enjoy it, but it needs some TLC. First and foremost I got it running, and that is when I made the decision to keep it and I have fallen in love. I will keep it mostly original, minus some brakes upgrades, wheels and BC coilovers. Maybe someday have a built motor for it, but not for now. Every…
