Yes, they most certainly are. Still working on them but most of the flaws have been worked out 😀

Assuming it's on an S30 and you are talking about the interior handle then there is only 1 small screw that holds it to the door frame. It's behind the black plastic liner (if you still have one) on the escutcheon plate at the bottom of the page.

Lowell George would be honored at your reference CO.😉

Me Likey! I've been wondering how his car was progressing. Now it's just got assembly to go through (which is no small feat as we all know...)

Kind of reminds me a a flux capacitor just a little......😀

Funny, I just got those same battery clamps last week. I just haven't had any spare time to install them yet. I'm attracted to shiny things.

The quality of the build certainly showed. It was worth every penny and I'm happy for you. Now, on to the next one!

Good thing you were observing speed limits, it could have been worse. Glad it looks repairable and your ok. But it's a reminder to all of us that Rutting season starts soon (oct-dec). That's when they are everywhere with only one thing on their mind, and it's not road safety.....

found these on American eBay but if you do a google search for 280z fuel injector screws, quite a few options come up and some might be more accessible for you. https://www.ebay.com/i/233306012858?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=233306012858&targetid=595076424168&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9011117&poi=&campaignid=1689407462&mkgroupid=74365777588&rlsatarget=aud-622524042918:pla-595076424168&abcId=1140476&merchantid=6520324&gclid=CjwKCAjwtajrBRBVEiwA8w2Q8B6xG_uGo4QQOtuFHYTL8miOAM0rarcoMYrLlfhc16dnzueLFIfL5RoCx94QAvD_BwE

Temp will depend on the thermostat, 160 or 180 degrees for example. That looks normal to me and is about where mine runs.

My 1/77' car came to me with an armrest/lid. Judging by how bad in shape it was, I want to say it was original but I have no way of confirming since I trashed it when I rebuilt the interior. I recall that I did dis-assemble it, or rather, I took the pieces broken pieces apart and made the decision just to replace the whole thing. Like most of the interior parts, the arm rest is not overly complicated. Just a couple of screws on a long wire hinge make it function with the console itself. The release lever is one piece that pivots and a spring that makes it return to the latch position. I don't know about repairing the screw holes as I did not attempt it, but it seems possible. I do have a spare armrest from a parts car if you need pics. This pic from the PO is from when I picked my car up.

Yep, mine is a little stretched but still good🙂
