High quality and snug fit driver's door weatherstrip
I wouldnt like to take the car to the shop again until i have purchased the correct snug and precise weatherstrip and a high quality adhesive. I believe a good tight seal does not need any adhesive.

Distinct clunk when accelerating in first gear
The proble shows up and is more noticeable when driving at slow speed up slope entering the parking of my building. Whenever i accelerate after releasing the clutch i can hear the "clunk" coming from the rear of the car. I took it to the mechanic and he didnt find any play at the u joints. Do yoi think i should invest i a new set of u joints plus the differential strap and support?

Reverse backup light switch for 280z 5 speed tranny
Where can i get a nissan oem reverse backup light switch for my 280z 5 speed tranny installed on my 1972 240z? The ones ive seen on ebay or other suppliers are not oem nissan. Mine works but i guess its all bundle up with patches of wired sliced and soldered as the picture i took.

Rear suspension arms bushings
I found the correct part. I guess i will need to go with the energy suspension poly bushing kit as these original nissan bushings are hard to get. Any thoughts?

Rear suspension arms bushings
i only see this kit available: https://www.amazon.com/Energy-Suspension-7-3104G-Control-Bushing/dp/B000CGUJOE/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1533832428&sr=1-1&keywords=Energy+Suspension+7.3104G I dont think i need all of these bushings as i only need to replace the ones that were wrongly installed. The ones i need are the ones pointed in the following site: https://www.totalzparts.com/product/datsun-240z-260z-280z-rear-suspension-inner-control-arm-bushings-1970-78-nos/ Quite expensive indeed. Please confirm.
