Gee, I didn't know you could still get the chrome door release escutcheons. Silly me. It's probably the tiniest piece of rubber on the Z, and how many people even know it's suppose to be there. For some reason I have never seen a Z with them, except a fully restored Z. Can you take a pic of the hinge seals, I've always wanted to see what they look like?

I just ordered the 432 rear spoiler from Classic Datsun Motorsports. I plan to install it when I finally get my body and paint work done. I have a front BRE spook as well from CDM. Has anyone else purchased these parts from CDM? How are they working for you? I think there's an article on Zhome.com that shows the BRE/OEM spoilers seem to be the best all around aero mods for the 240Z. Any other opinions?

I just purchased the quarter glass panels, carpet kit, headliner, and rubber seal kit from Classic Datsun Motorsports (all in black). I probably could have gotten carpet cheaper somewhere, but I decided to stay OEM on this. Besides, I'm happy with the others things I've purchased from Les. I had a good headliner until I hit it with the sharp edge of an icescraper one morning. I could have just punched myself in the throat at that moment, man was I PO'ed at myself. If I can ever get my car painted I'll install the new stuff. I never imagined body and paint work to be the most difficult task in the universe. Apparently the new interior panels will not exactly match my originals, so I'll have to decide if it bothers me enough to purchase the other panels later.

How about the little rubber bumpers for the door release lever?

Will, The hatch hinge seals would be a big winner in my book. I spoke with Les Cannaday yesterday and he doesn't know anyone making them. I think the heater control panel and the chrome strip on the driver's door panel would also be winners. The heater control panel is crazy expensive if you can find one, and I think way too pricey for most except those building a gold medallion. My heater control panel is fine except the chrome; I'm sure that's the case for most people.

If that doesn't work use the biggest hammer you can find. :stupid:

The History Channel are a bunch of cheats with their expensive DVDs.

Go to the Zhome, there's a huge registry.

Hey Dave, I've got you beat this time. I did something just like this in my 71 510 back in the late 70's. I took interior lights from my dad's junk 63 Oldsmobile and mounted them under the dash on both sides and hook into the door buttons so they lit up when I opened the door. They were made for that very purpose in the Olds, so I transferred them over. Worked like a charm. It was a high luxury Datsun 510.

I have four 14x7 slotted alloy wheels sitting around with minor edge dings and usual wear. They are straight as far as I know, use to have them on my car till the Konigs. They are in my avatar pic.

Carl, are you getting cranky? :cheeky:

I knew it, it's Arne's fault.

Praise the Lord it wasn't a Z. BTW, are you okay?

I want to know where my clock with built-in stop watch is!!! Why do the Japanese always get the good stuff?

Why not get info from Zhome.com?

Sorry Carl. Guys you need to read the title of the thread a bit closer. :stupid:

I suppose everyone has gotten the news from Carl by now. It's a bummer, if you've been on the list for a long time. I'm sure it'll be a big relief for Carl, et al who have been managing this server for all these years. This very site grew out of the list to specialize in the early Zs. So remember the roots of this and other websites that formed many years ago. If it weren't for the IZCC many of us wouldn't have gotten to know each other as early as we did. :classic: IZCC History

Oh I see. I have guard envy.

What plastic seat cushion guards, you mean the clear ones between vinyl and hardware? I have those on my seats.

Get a Paypal account for crying out loud!!! :knockedou

I just need to find a body guy who'll do the work for a reasonable price. It really needs expert attention.

Dizeasd, I hate you, you know that don't you? So awesome.

Hell you know, it's those cheap Datsun engines. They just can't take it. :stupid:
