No, I cut up my original gauge backs to fit them in, the car was so heavily modified there was no going back anyway.

OK - I hate to destroy perfectly good equipment - if they were rough/inop I wouldn't care. I'll have to see what happens DTR.

I was just on their site and they are now offering a stock looking Datsun 240Z face plate, wish they had that when I was buying from them.

Putting this here before I forget (again)

Both cars have the 3.54 FD ratio.

another tidbit from NewZed - 75 280 R200 has different flange than later years

Also forgot to add this here - last Nov. ZedHead pointed me to a TechnoToy kit for fitting the short nose R200 into the 280Z, so I could use the 350Z short nose I have (w/LSD), assuming I can figure the axle adaptation.

Hi @HusseinHolland!

Any updates on this project? Curious, if you finished the 350z tranny adaptation in your 1st gen.
