A few 280Z parts needed
I have this canister bracket off my 82 ZX, funny the part numbers I looked up was a 14915-N3600 for ->78 and then the 82ZX was a 14951-N3600 They look the same, so I am thinking one is a typo. The canisters look the same, they just mount them in different spots. I have 4 wire (4 pin) and a 5 wire (6 pin connector) resistors. Untested but look intact. If you're interested....

What is painted body color?
I am no expert on this at all, but I remember seeing a post about parts of the front of the radiator core are black in some areas. Might only be on early cars. Something like this pic I stole from the web.

240z Door Hinge Rebuild
I've not used either so I really can't say for sure, but my guess would be probably not. The sizing might be a little different.

240z Door Hinge Rebuild
The hinge on my parts car 280 is broken. There is a seller on eBay that offers a kit. They seem to be popular. I have seen him on FB too. The eBay link is strange but here is a clip of the item. Just search for the description.

Be careful with MIKEGREEN008
That is just the start, as with the case of this OP took the next step and sent money for the parts only to have the person not answer back and no parts shipped. I know we all started at one point with no post and no feedback, you have to build a reputation of be an honest seller, If you just start scamming people, you'll be called out (like this thread). Then you change you name and start over.

That is an interesting list of "pop up sellers" I have seen these kinds of scams a lot recently. When someone posts a want ad then these people all have one available. All new members with no posts. Glad to hear you are pursuing the money sent to the last "seller" Best of luck on that. Since it was a nice sunny weekend I went out and took some parts off the 76 280Z parts car, for future sales. I did pull the pedals, and seem to be missing 1 spring. You should have that same spring on your brake pedal. I will get some pictures this afternoon, as I am headed to work for the day. I will PM the pics and a price. I will also look into the shipping to Spain.

Front bumper fitment, 77 on a 76
I have a 76 with the front bumper on it. It is not in perfect shape most of the rubber is cracked, and there is a bent up part on the drivers side, so inexpensive. Let me know if there is any interest. I'm in WA too. Exit 82

As said above if you linked the funds through a credit card, ask the card company. I get the impression you linked your bank. I will confirm I have the whole set of pedals, and send pictures for you to decide you would like to proceed with another set. No rush, take the time to give @mikegreen008 the opportunity to make this right for you. Refund or the parts. 54 days on the forum and no posts. @Mike should also be aware of this activity in my opinion. Good luck, as well.

Did you need the whole pedal box with the two pedals? most of the actual boxes are set up for auto or manual applications. Normally you would just need the two pedals, springs, and mounting bolts. Not sure of your situation. I think I still have a set if you're interested. Size and weight make up the freight price. Taxes are usually on your end when you pick it up. Sorry to hear of another scammer, they seem to be coming out of the woodwork in the classic car world. I am sure they are all over the place when there is need for goods. If you sent as Goods and Services PayPal should cover you. Friends and family is always a risk.

Z's on BAT and other places collection
I saw that one too. A bit far for me. I wondered if it still had the transmission. A 2+2 car.

New Member,New to Z's
There is a L shaped piece shown in the diagram. It does look to be a different shape though. No reference number for that one of course. As it was just laying there, It might have come from further up in the dash. I am sure others will know.

What are these tubes in the hatch for?
As Zed said ^ They are behind the plastic panel in the rear, and the one on the right rear, where the vent tank sits. If you are not using the tank I would look for some rubber caps to seal them off.
-
Series 1 hatch parts?
Thanks for the functional pic's @CanTechZ I agree completely the intention was to exhaust the cabin pressure / flow. I was only stating there was no direct path between the two points. To @Zed Head's point making some seals is the only option going forward.

Series 1 hatch parts?
The way I understand these to work is rather funky for such a well designed car. The large panel vents into the car from the chamber in the hatch just openly. The smaller slit in the two vent pieces are also open to that chamber. crafting the vent to the outside of the car through the chrome vents on the large slit. The tubes are just for draining water out. Which drains right onto the hatch sill, promoting rust. There was no direct connection from the big panel to the smaller pair of vents. These also let in a lot of fumes that billow around the back of the car. At least that is what I determined from refreshing my S1 hatch vents. No wonder they went to the B pillar vents.

Parts Wanted: Datsun 280Z Transmission Mount
I have a 73 which has the "B" transmission, that I am cutting up. I am pretty sure the mounts are the same, but not 100%. They look very similar. I can't think of a reason they would alter them over the years. If you think these might work let me know and we can work something out. I can take more pic's and measurements if needed.
