His dining room wouldn't be big enough.

If you're going to be painting soon anyway and don't want to stay stock why not use one of the body kits that replaces everything: http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/7RS/50-1473

Are you asking about the horizontal chrome-plated plastic piece that is part of each tail light or the thin edging that's part of the metal tail-light surround?

These were often added by dealers but did not come that way from the factory. My car had them installed with pop rivets so I don't think you can assume that they can be removed without showing damage. Even if they're somehow glued on you still risk damaging the paint. However, can can probably make the determination easily. Mine were actually two pieces: the silver portion that goes up against the car and the black portion which slips into the base. You can probably pull the black part out and look for the attachment points.

I'd remove the pump and simply try it by hand with fuel hoses straight into a gas can.

Welcome to the club. Did you bleed the master cylinder itself before the brakes?

Purchase the parts CD from this club. It's a scan of the original Nissan microfiche that shows all of the parts diagrams and numbers. https://www.classiczcars.com/store/

Really? Can you post a picture of a knob with a metal emblem? Mine is plastic like Arne's and is also somewhat damaged.

Ok, perhaps I'm thinking of the outer shift boot. Doesn't it have 8 clips to hold it to the console?

My memory may be failing but I thought it had more like 8 holes.

Thanks for the confirmation, Will. Are two pieces normally stuck together as seemingly one piece?

I wish I could answer that but it appears that once again I'm a victim of not knowing of production changes to items like this. I'm really only familiar with what's on my 9/71 model. I had no idea that this ever changed. I've attached a picture I just took of mine that clearly shows the separate pieces. As you can see my plastic piece was actually cracked and broken and I used a plastic glue to repair it. I did just attempt to install just the metal piece without the plastic but in that situation the square hole is not deep enough to accept the mirror; the clip on the mirror hits the vinyl.

The base of the mirror snaps into a square hole in a metal clip that is in turned covered by the plastic piece that holds the sun visors. The three screws go into the metal piece which actually holds the plastic piece in place. It's possible that the plastic part is broken off and missing but the metal is still there.

You might consider making a tech article from this. Here's one I did a while back: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17688

Here's an article about that car: http://www.sportcompactcarweb.com/features/0502scc_skyline_tommykaira_r/

Perhaps the original poster has already fixed the problem in the last two and a half years.

Ok, just wondering. Welcome back. Are you planning on getting another Z?

Are you on drugs?

For anyone else interested in a heater control panel who is willing to forgo the exhilaration of winning on eBay, here's a place that claims to have them in stock for $180: http://store.datsunspirit.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=5

You must have skimmed the pictures as well as the article.

I'd personally avoid clicking on that link. It takes you to some bogus PC software download at www.systemdoctor.com

He only said that the pair of wires went to the transmission. I'm the one who (mistakenly) assumed they were for the interlock. He did also mention the extra part near the coil.

It's not a tag; it's stamped into the firewall up above the master cylinder.

Have you removed the small panel in the wheel well that's in front of the filler hose?
