someone is selling an oil pan in good shape from a 260Z. Will this be work in a 77 Z ??

Thanks for all the info, seems like a toss up if they will fit. I really like the nissan snowflake wheels on the later Z's but they seem hard to find. The guy i bought them from is restoring a 510 and said his neighbor does body and paint and to check him out. I found a pic with these wheels on this dudes toyota van http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2227666

I ended up getting the snowflake design. He had them on a 510. the specs are:14X5.5 4X114.3 +27 offset, their alot lighter than my iron cross rims.

I'll check it out, hopefully they will fit. he says he use to have a 510 and also a 300zx. thanks for the advice. just found this helpful link searching the forums, looks like the rims are from a mid 80's corolla. http://kmhafer.datsun510.com/wheelFAQ.htm#The%20Wheel%20Chart

thanks! a shop quoted me $80 to re-thread the pan, I'll give it a try before the next oil change.

I'm going to check out some used wheels someone is selling locally for cheap on craigslist. I"m leaning towards the set that looks like snowflakes or the non-gold ones. any suggestions? here's the link below. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/pts/356074974.html

I changed my oil yesterday and over-tightened the drain plug, it now just turns in either direction. Luckily, no oil leaks. I'm guessing I stripped the threads in the oil pan. Any suggestions on removal? I'm hoping I don't have to replace the whole pan.

Any chance you have a link to this fan thing? I couldn't find it on their website.

it was the hazard switch, i replaced it with my original one and now it's working. Still can't figure out where the 2 wires from the ashtray light hook up to. Thanks! sblake

I won this console on Ebay awhile back and think it was from a 78z. Anyways, I installed it today along with new carpet. The console came with all the wiring and switches. I used the switches with this console. After installing, everything works fine except now my turn signal lights do not work at all. Not sure what caused this, but I do have my original ones and might put those back in. Also there is a ashtray light bulb with 2 wires which I didn't hook up, not sure where to connect them. I need to get a good wiring diagram. 77 2+2

thanks for the quick responses.

I just picked up a used center console and need help on what this part is. It is located on the passenger top side of the console. The wired end is connected to a 3 pin connector.
