my datsun 77/280z as a dash with about 7 long cracks,i am looking to buy a dash shell w/out gauges/ harness/ect...one that may have less crack than mine so i will attempt to fix it myselft to same some $$$. Any one have one for sale or have an idea where i could look,i know i could buy a cover but i like to try for the OEM first. thank you for helping sergio

I have been looking for some racing pedals covers for my 1977 /280z (the one that bolt on) but it seem that the one i have looked at do not cover the OEM pedals completly, so it look to much like a add on,any one that can help me to find the perfect fitting ones i will be greatful. thank you in advance. sergio

When i put my 280z in the reverse it doenst shift smoothly,the gear make a grinding sound i am able to shift all other gear (5 speed) with no problem.Do i need to adjust the clutch?? any one who as had the same problem please let me know ,it will be great.it was fine until i had my oil pan and the clutch cylinder got changed, also to do the job the gears box was removed, but not opened, could that be a factor also??? Thank you sergio

Could any one tell me if the bolts on the oil pan (1977 280z) should be all the same lenght ???? it seem to me that in the back toward the fly wheel they should be much longer to take in consideration of the thickness of the two support braket on each side of the pan. If you know the different lenght if any, can you please share. Regards Sergio

Thank you,all for your informations,keep it coming by next week i will have to make a new try and come up with a new plan of action,some great experiences from all of you with the same problem are giving me some hope i do have the original oil pan that the dealer as removed ( remenber they asked me to get them another pan originaly wich i did )stored in my garage so i can start working on all those area to get it flat as suggested. Regards Sergio
