Replacing the old clutch, but...
I had a Centerforce in an Accord that I autox back in '92 and it held like you wouldn't believe! I could easily make the stock clutch slip but never could do this with the Centerforce...in fact I destroyed one in a way that the shop had never seen. I downshifted from 4th to 2nd at 60mph and blew up...it didn't slip...it grabbed hard. Yes, it was a dumb move one of those nights I shouldn't have been driving when I was young.

Body side trim
Hey catfish, sorry for the delay...I found that I have at least one of the kind you are looking for. How many do you need? If you need more than one I'll look through the box that has them over the weekend for more (I have several in a can in the box but happened to find one just sitting on top of the box).

OT-810 2 door on Ebay
Right...mostly. The '81-'84 Maxima is what the LD28 was in. I just went back through some of my notes to find this info. I could swear that some of the late 810s came with the LD28 but I must have been mistaken.

Body side trim
You're looking for the front one right (the one that's angled)? I'm almost positive I have several of those style in my spare parts. Will check tonight.

MidwestZ??
I would have thought so too but I do recall a package that came from her reeking of smoke so if she is a smoker that may have affected the sound of her voice. Looks that way. Very sad. Maybe if she's no longer interested she would at least be willing to do a brain dump and share all of her sources and other info with us so we can still get parts like she used to do for us.

need to replace front drivers seat floor bracket
I have seen a Z recently where someone just took some angle iron and bolted it to the remains of the seat mount then drilled holes for the seat to attach. This was the owner's way to "fix" the fact that the holes were ripped/torn out. Talk about cheap...but it's doing the trick I suppose...just as long as he's not in a bad accident with it as it may or may not withstand that kind of force.

shipping
You'll be looking at $600 on up depending on where it's coming from, who you choose to ship it, and if you want it on an open carrier or an enclosed one. I got a price of around $600 from Cali to Texas on an open carrier, and this was one of the lower bids I got.

Body side trim
I have several of these. Can you post a pic of your's so I know what to look for? I have a couple different styles and you will want one that matches what you already have.

70-71 Choke plate
Did you have him make you a mold and then make you a new pannel? If so you should have him make a few more and sell them on eBay yourself.

New to site
As everyone else has said...WELCOME!! On another VERY long thread it was mentioned that you may know of a company that is/was based in your area called MidwestZ. If you happen to know anything of them please let us know.

Picture editing program?
That's a good point...I have been watching for the return of the Downloads and Links sections of this site. Does anyone know anything about this?

2007 Z car convention in the USA?
Any idea when or where!?

Williams Bay Wi. area
With the non-running condition and problems you have described if you are unable to get another Z person to stop by and take a look-see you may just be better off taking it to a mechanic.

280z door hinge replacement?
I believe I have these parts also! Before you go swapping these out or anything try cleaning and greasing yours up to see if you can get them to work. All of the grease may have dried up causing the part not to opperate any longer.

280z door hinge replacement?
I agree. If you find that you need the latches I have those for both sides of the car; again off of my '73 parts car. Shoot me a PM if you need them.

Crank Scraper - Worth it or not?
I saw this link over on hybridz and am curious. http://www.crank-scrapers.com/products/Datsun%20-%20Nissan.html What do you guys know and think about crank scrapers? After reading a bit on the site above it sounds like a good investment for the price...but then again they are the ones selling them so that's what they want you to think.

280z door hinge replacement?
Junk yard or someone with a parts car. There are a few other 'companies' that may have them like Danny's Datsuns, Zed Findings, etc. If you need the passenger side hinges I have a set from my '73 parts car; the driver side sold months ago.
