Is it a new Nissan or after market windshield? Will

Ron, One thing I do not have is any D hubcaps! TALK ABOUT SALT IN THE WOUND-JK! If some of your parts need a new home(or just a Vacation and a mud pack spa (molds made) visit in sunny south Georgia, I have a perfect spot in the company of some of the parts I have pictured, a complete Series one nos console, and complete dash(all NOS) Will

MCkrack, You are being too kind. If they were installed properly, you quite simply wouldn't be having that issue. This problem shows the floor is one place you have proof a hobbiest and not an expert worked on your car-I hope you don't find any more! While I am no expert, in the 17 floor panels I have welded in, it sounds like either your floor wasn't fitted patiently and properly before welding or maybe the installer didn't begin with spot welds around the area. I have had that situation-my spot welds were too large with my first floor pan and the heat moved things around before I had the entire circumference of the repair stabilized-when the several checks with a level showed it was off, I cut it out and started again, verifying with the level as I went. That floor and every one since has been rock solid. Hopefully the panel can be warped into the stressed situation that will keep it in the position stepping on it places it into so it won't be noticeable to you. Fortunately that floor issue is only important if you are going for 300 points and someone is serious about your having to earn them. Enjoy the car and quit sweating the little stuf. Will

Considering you have had it only four months, you must have had some tuteledge from experts of your own, we have members here who haven't learned the particulars of such a rare part as the first 240Z shift boot in years... Will

Victor-you live in Ca, get to find car deals to the point that you have to give away complete restoreable automobiles(OK, a pickup) to make room for a new project, you got to go on the NFIBMT, just how much great charma can one man have? I've been sniped 11 times-once by a freaky(ok-that is the frustration talking-he is a nice, knowledgeable, and upstanding guy who stole the freakin' clock from me!!!)member here-you know who you are! Chris, SHhh, the twins will hear! Chris, you must only be looking in the Mystery/hidden garage, storage unit, and the car spa-you should be beating them off with an old torque wrench! Find out when the local hospital has shift change and got to the grocery store closest to the hospital a few minutes before the shiift change-there are several types of Meat in the grocery store, and the special at shift change time is on Nurse! Will

Dan, I resemble the way you think! Will

www.hybridz.org is your best bet. Few people here replace the engine in our Zs, no one was answering because no one here has been down that road. Will

Dave, I will be sending you several-some ofr parts, some for repair when I get to the right box... Will

Mckrack AJ is quite a source for Z knowledge, trivia and local Z stories-hard to be in 1a business you love for that long and not have stories... What was your first Z and happened to it? How about posting some of your Z stories? Every original owner I know has some... Will

They are rivetted on, but bolts can be used. I have replaced several of them with bushings from the hardware store(Home Depot sells them now)-you may have to buy a drawer pull and take it apart, but... Will.

Carl, Thanks for the PNs, I have been trying to find things to picture, and I thought sitting at the parts catalog would be, the easier part(multiple pieces on the same page) The fact that you found some that I didn't (68834-E8200 is the only grill listed on my '74 USA/Canda parts book.). Means I am going to have to dig into te club CD, and FAST to get good info. I hope at least a few things in this thread will be helpful, but if I am off base, or can change what I am doing to help, please let me know-no need to do all of this work and not put in a form that could help other inprocess projects covering essentially the same material. AS I look for things to picture, I am also "culling the heard" at the same time; pulling out the used parts that I have exact NOS replacements for, and trying to get all of the used like parts together in the same box. I have well over a hundred NOS parts, and and I want to find out what pieces I have that are actually for a '72-one day I will do a low vin car, and I want to save the older NOS parts for it. Will

The problem is hopefully in the plastic bushings on the mechanism. I have had that issue in several cars, and each time the bushings were worn out creating the slop. Will

I've got one somewhere in my roadster stuf that is a little different, but similar. I'll round it up tomotrrowand post a pic. Will

Count me in, and tell me what I can change in my data collection to help. Will

And some are just slow...meaning me-I missed C Davids title until just now. Will

Hmmm... Known quantity, tagged-and ready for bagging-Burt? Will

Todays contributions! Carl had a better pic of more lighters in a different thread, but here is what I have that I have found so far. Will

Alan, As you and a few others may have guessed, I started this thread and its subsequent (though not alterior) purpose with a few PMs last August...now if only I wasn't tone deaf... Will

Welcome to the site! Never be ashamed to admit anything you are making better! Will

Why for you need expert? Florida has several Z nutZ- Thar Wersel guy-he is just a misspelling-Wenzel on the other hand, he has had the opportunity to forget more about early Zs(though he hasn't) that most of us have ever known-but be warned-he has a "thang" for Japanese twins and if there are any close by, you may have a hard time keeping his attention There are several of other Foridian Z experts, but let's let them chime in as they will-a few are low profile types. Will

Chris, I went through the June '74 issue USA & Canada S30 Parts catalog and looked for part numbers for the items in question. What I found, I listed and tried to identify relative to the vatiations of the part I pictured or knew about. I can be wrong-but I had to start somewhere. Some parts have changes with no change to the part number-probably the supplier changed the part and Nissan didn't notice, or Nissan required a change and simply didn't bother changing the part number(the Heater Control Panel vent/Seat belt hooks) The parts I am most interested in have variation with no additional part numbers, but I just want to show the changes in parts '69-73. There are a ton of parts that fall into this-Once again, I had to start somewhere, so as I get time, I grab one of my boxes of parts and sort through it for pieces that obviously work in this thread(it also helps me get all of my versions of a part in one place-though I do store NOS parts differently than restorable/restored parts) At some point I want to create a relational database to store actual pictures of the parts with their factory identifiers and our common names for them and other pertinant details-hence another use of the final results of this thread! I think it may be easier to establish a first use of the parts time frame as I believe if Nissan forgot about a box of parts and found them later after that part had changed, they put the old part right in the line since it had been paid for-meaning on occassion parts were not used in first in first out order. Will

Some of the part numbers and my suppositions so far-don't take any of this as gospel-these parts were collected from salvage yards and they could have been moved from other cars to where I found them. The partnumbers/my ideas are not necessarily fact-they are based on the june 1974 USA & Canada Parts catalog. Jump in if you have history, doubts, or interest. Will

And another thing... Map light frame-original all but flat-no hood. Later variation hooded. I will play with the camera and try to get a more illustrative photo. Will

The only Z goodies that came to my house were a complete copy of the S30 and S31 parts books, and a few parts I bought and pictured in another thread for a Z that doesn't live here yet! Will

You must have been a verrrrry good boy-but then there is other evidence of that as well! Will
