Terrapin Z

I am pretty sure the 280Z dash and column cover are deeper than the 240Z dash and cover, even if they mount similar. You may even have a 240 dash on a 280 dash frame. Who knows at this point. Sounds like you have your plan all set for new extended the covers and some fabric/glue to fix it up. Good luck. Just get it driving and enjoy the car!!!!

Almost seems like there is a 280z pedal box in there, with 240Z column and dash.

Put the stock Nissan filter in there, you still have the bracket. No way I can tell you what is wrong with your car through the ol' interweb.

Only the 1973 had the back lit heater panel. 1970 did not light up.

I don't doubt it at all CO. My tool kit has all these things and some bailing wire, string, rubber bands, and extra nuts and bolts. I've only needed them for other peoples cars.

Alright, Zip ties, duct tape, wood crafts, and a clothes pin. Great start for a restoration!! 😄 Ready to roll to the show.

To go along with a best guess scenerio, The S is next to the D on the keyboard. My guess is he means the "dome" light. It looks like a dome light switch.

Thanks, They are on the sides as well. When I went Racing Green I had them put the ghost flames back on. Gets a lt of good comments.

Okay, one of our members Ken knew your cousin and he told us of the tire bounce issue. I used to live in Monterey and went to LS all the time. I do miss that. Here is a pic with the 112 car.

Was that your 1200 (#57)?? We walked by the pits but nobody was there.

Yeah, no! I would go with something like The Phoenix It was a bad morning. The deer did not make it, but the car was reborn.

Thanks Charles, The car, originally Safari Gold, had been painted black. After a deer encounter I decided to go Racing Green as I always liked the color.

I do, I have had a few different sets of wheels on this car. It came with polished slots, Then I found some American Racing wheels I ran for a while. These VTO's came with a parts hoard I picked up new in boxes. I really like the look of them. The polished lip really complements the chrome / stainless on the rest of the car. Thanks for the comment.

Yes sir.

Our Z club went to the Historic Races in Kent WA at Pacific Raceways yesterday 07/04. We set up in the car coral, and get to drive the track in the parade laps. Fun day. Lots of Z's 510's and 1200's Peter Brock was there as part of racing history. My car ran great for the 110 mile trip there and then back.

Same info given on the first post.

Well if Site's don't work out these could be another option. I do not know any specifics on these, They came in a hoard I picked up in OR sometime ago. As far as the green I think your light ones are just these but faded. Again I am not really sure.

I have two (dark?) green, a few whites, and a brown and black.

New info.... I checked my 1/70 car and found the piece to be different. The early one had no phillips head and is 6mm thread. The later ones did have the phillips and are 8mm thread. Also.... I checked the hood stopper on a 73, and it had the phillips but has a different thread again. a fine thread in between the 6 and 8 It has a rubber stopper and a thread cover on the bottom. It took a 7/16 (11mm) wrench to remove, and of course broke while turning. This is a heavy rust area.

Mine has the phillips head, and came from a 73, I have another from a 71 also with the phillips. Neither had any rubber on it at this point.

I have a crusty one.

@Mike Now I am getting this notification again. I get this every time I try to access the website, then If I reload the page it works correctly.

I cannot confirm 100% as the pipe came to me second hand. It looks like the 3/70 is like #3 I have a still in the car pipe from 1/70 that also looks like #3 (hard to see it all) Hope that helps.
