I have an polished aluminum T-handle shift knob that would fit on my Z, but I hesitate to use it because it's not original.

I didn't know he was shut down. What happened? I don't know why there are so many Z business in California. Why would anyone want to put up with California laws?

Excuse me, are we ill??? Uh, who are you?

Glad to see you're still around E-train. Without a Z, I'm surprised you're still here. Most folks end up leaving, good on you.

I bought it for $400 out of a junk yard and rebuilt the engine.

What ever happened to Brian Morrow?

Well, whatever you think you need.

Sorry to hear that, I have a 71 510 with the interior still in awesome condition in 1981. Kept coating it with Pledge.

The first car that I learned to drive was a 1963 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 4-dr sedan. The second car I learned to drive was a 1971 Datsun 510 4-dr sedan. The first car I owned was a 1971 Renault R-12 station wagon.

The Datsun Service Manual states that the stock offset for 1971 240Z wheels is 0.59".

Why would anyone need 8" wide wheels? You know that you are increasing the drag on your Z don't you?

I suppose it goes without saying you don't have a stock shifter knob.

So what did you end up buying? Now that you're 3 years older, tell us the latest news.

Illuminated heater consoles didn't exist till 1973. Prior to that you had to use the map light to illuminate the heater controls.

I'll give you a dollar for it.

This is exactly what I purchased from Les Cannaday. I bought an entire set of seat covers and foam replacements for both seats from Les for $395. I haven't installed these items yet, but the quality seems as good as one could expect. If you buy leather you will not get the matching grain pattern as found on the center sections of the seats and the shift boot, not will you get the chrome air vents found on early seats. It's a tough decision, because leather is really nice, but if you want to maintain a reasonable level of authenticity, go with vinyl. I'll tell you something else, I like supporting a man that has done a lot for the Z community when I can.

I have the left most pad. Too bad you can't find one with the inner plastic ring intact.

Someone is working on door panels.

I just purchased a whole set including covers AND foam replacements for both seats from Les for $395.

I'm going with original-spec springs, KYBs or Tokico HPs and Energy Suspension bushing kit. I'd like to get the Suspension Techniques sway bar kit too.

Shox.com sells them for $167.

WASO important about this key anyway? :stupid:

Odd looking shift knob you have there. What are those buttons or lights above the fan switch? Is that bag next to the driver's seat OEM?
