Charlie Osborne Zedd Findings 603 Compass Court Kingston, Ontario K7M 8V9 Canada Tel: (613) 389-1397 www.datsunzparts.com www.datsunzparts.ca I bought all new OEM emblems from Charlie for $218 shipped for my '78 280Z. Very helpful and good pricing. I also use MSA (Sal ext. 201) & VB online. I hope Chloe is OK.............

It's a 1978 280Z.

Mike, Are the VB ones any good? I ordered a set for $24.95 apiece.

Chloe at MidwestZ was a great help. But she is AWOL. Charlie Osborne is also great help and has good pricing. I bought all new emblems & tail light trim pieces from him. Charlie Osborne Zedd Findings 603 Compass Court Kingston, Ontario K7M 8V9 Canada Tel: (613) 389-1397 www.datsunzparts.com www.datsunzparts.ca I have found MSA is a very good resource and has good pricing. I deal with Sal at ext. 201. Just bought a full weather stripping kit, fuse box cover, & OEM door sill plates from Sal. Car goes to the paint shop August 31!

There are now 4 or 5 350Z's running for the overall GA Cup win. There are races coming up at Homestead, VIR & Barber MS Park. Check one out. I plan to do VIR & Barber.

Charlie is great to deal with and has good pricing. I got a set of 7 emblems for $218 shipped.

I agree Carl. She was always very helpful and prompt. I have had to order parts elsewhere as I get ready to have the '78 painted. I ordered a set of emblems and T/L surrounds from Charlie Osborne and I mentioned Chloe. He said he hadn't heard from her in quite a while. He said he supplied her with many items. He thought it was very strange too......

Mike, Car looks great. Our '78 280Z goes for paint early Sept. Can't wait!

Picked up a set of redone ones from Charlie O. at Zedd. $157 shipped.

Thanks that what I was looking for.

I realize the old paint wasn't BC/CC.

I am sure the shop can. I was trying to educate myself. I figured someone here might have just gone through this with their car. I assume it is a base coat/clear coat correct? Thanks

Getting ready to have our '78 280Z repainted Nissan code 611 Wine Red Metallic. Does anyone know the Dupont formula or code for this paint? Thanks

You get the machine. Its too bad. She was always very helpful.

Very strange......

Z finished 7th & 10th. Not bad.

I need the chrome taillight surrounds for my '78 280Z. Looking for excellent used or redone set. PM me if you have a set. Thanks!

Not sure give them a call. The kits won't be in till next week.

I called Sal at MSA yesterday and I am glad I waited to order the Precision 19 piece weatherstrip kit for my '78 280Z coupe. MSA has them on sale for $159.95. Awesome price. We'll be painting the Z soon! Also picked up some OEM door sill plates, fuse box cover. Now I am looking for the chrome T/L surrounds either redone or used in excellent shape.

Yea I am getting close to painting my '78 and was hoping to continue buying parts from her. She has been great to work with.....

Any news on Chloe?

Same here. Emailed her late last week and no response........

Glad to hear she is OK just busy.

My 78 280Z exhibits some bucking but only below a half a tank of gas. I has been explained to me that the fuel pipe in the tank may have a hole in it and when the fuel gets low it starts sucking air & fuel. I fill the car up & it runs fine. The gas tank has been redone, fuel filter cleaned etc. The only way to fix is to pull the tube and basket by drilling another hole in the tank. The fuel tank seems to be a weak point on these cars especially when the car isn't driven much and allowed to sit. I have been told to keep the tank full when storing. Are there no plastic Z fuel tank reproductions? I gotta believe they wouldn't be that costly to make and there is a market for one. I know I'd buy one. Hummmmmm?
