What happened that makes you say this? Just curious at who to buy and who not to buy from... -Kyle

Looks amazing! Please post progress pictures! I'm super curious how the installation process goes... -Kyle

Also interested in hearing peoples experience. While its very new, hopefully someone on here has got one. -Kyle

Thanks for this, this the exact one I have on my 77. This was very helpful! Many thanks -Kyle

Do you have any pictures of this seat belt feature Seattle jester? That sounds like a very interesting little gadget. If no pics, the manufacturers who are using them? Thanks. -Kyle

I just recently sat in an R32 and the first thing I noticed about the seats were the lack of adjustment. It doesn't have an infinitely adjustable recliner option. It's two positions, near bolt up right, or full gangster almost a 45* angle. So yeah, I would plop your but in one and try the seats before buying them as they are quite expensive for, 20+yr old seats. -Kyle

Hey all, Looking just for some confirmation in my research. I have a 77 280, had the original vinyl found on the rear shock towers. I ripped that out for dynamat and becuase it was in rough shape. I really like the look of the diamond pattern found on the shock tours and floor pan sidewalls in the 240Z's. So much so, I want it in my Z. I found this very informative post from BRAAP, that indicates there isn't anything too crazy that changed from the 240Z to 280Z that would prevent these from fitting. http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/57506-240z-260z-or-280z-chassisbody-differences/ I know things like the Trans tunnel changed (already pounded that out to make room for seats) but is there anything that would prevent me from installing the diamond pattern shock tower covers and floor pan sidewall pieces from fitting? And if they can fit, will they still fit (albeit a bit snug) with dynamat between the vinyl and the tower itself? Thanks guys, hope this is any easy one. -Kyle

I'm looking at installing the same set of seats in my 77, tunel bashing has already been done, but I'd still like to see how you're making yours fit. Care to post pics? -Kyle

Thank you good sir. Is this just out of your own stock or do you have a store or website I can visit? -Kyle

Oh yeah I forgot about that place. Thank you. And I'm lucky enough to have some really old dealers around, plus places like Z sport in Everett, and Z specialities. Not saying they always have what I need, but they definitely carry Z NOS stuff on their shelves. And you have me interested, definitely interested in some rubber pieces, new bolts, wiper rubber mounts. Do you want me to pm you? Thanks for the reply. -Kyle

Hey guys, Im currently hunting down rust in my project 77 Z, and i removed the Wiper linkage assembly and the motor that sit under the cowl area. Its in pretty rough shape as is the steal in the cowl itself, but that's for another time. What i need is a diagram and part numbers so i can get in touch with a dealer somewhere, that has some of the misc pieces i need. I've tried many times to get a working copy of FAST, and well with my recent plunge into Win 10, i don't see that happening anytime soon. Anyway, hope someone out there has a screen shot they can snap for me. Much appreciated. -Kyle

I've seen a guy put 350Z stalks on his S13. Really cleaned up the look his interior, but I'm sure the bride Vios', Nardi deep corn, and nismo 350Z dash had some help too. Lol It would be cool to see someone graft some modern items like that, but at the same time, I love the look of the indicator stalk, it has such a basic function and reflects that in its design. I can try and find that build thread of the s13 if you like? -Kyle

Ah man, you are the real MVP! Storing parts for people is truly a testament to the car guy mentality, helping each other out, before they even need it! Thanks again for the photos. -Kyle

I understand that, but I'm big believer in,"it's installed from the factory, so it must be installed for a reason". I also understand there are exceptions and limitations to that rule. Idk maybe your right. It makes sense. I'll sleep on this one. And yeah, my bad, I'm terrible with fractions, not really a big fan of the Imperial system in the first place. Lol And thank you Dan, once again, I take it you have some future plans with the spare well? Thanks again for all the help. I truly appreciate it. -Kyle

Rturbo 930- Wouldn't the box shape provide additional stiffness or rigidity? So If I'm going to take that piece out and replace it with a flat piece of steel,(per the recommendation of those here) putting that thin 18 gauge (or whatever thickness it is) in place would make it less stiff than when it started. So to make up for the strength but using less space, it would have to be a thicker steel? Right? While I will concede 1/4 might be a bit much, going to that thin OE thickness sheet metal seems like a waste of time. I'm thinking 3/8th's might be a winner here. Would everyone say that would be a safe choice? Thanks again for the pictures Dan. Gotta ask, did you just have that cut away lying around or did you do that for little Ole me? Lol Thanks again for all the input guys, really appreciated. -Kyle

Whoa, awesome picture and info, sounds like I'm gonna put a piece in place of it then. Since 1/4 inch is as high as my Welder were go, I'm think that should work. Since it's spot welded it, I don't see any issues with plug welding the new bar in place, does that sound reasonable to everyone? Thanks again for the awesome info. -Kyle

Thanks for the replies. But if there is anyone out there who can definitely say I don't need this, please speak up! Thanks! -Kyle

On my 280Z it's just a couple of bolts and a wire or two. Very easy. Definitely going to search for one next time I'm at a yard! -Kyle

Hello. I've recently started working on cleaning up the engine bay on my 77 280Z and I'm wanting to modernize most of what the car has to offer. With that in mind, I was wondering what other people have done to secure their looms and harnesses to parts of the car beyond the stock clamping arms things. While I like the idea of being able peel back the arms and move the harness around for whatever reason, they don't look all that nice. So what has everyone done to tidy up their wiring or a modern way to secure the looms in place? I've looked around on a few cable organizer sites, but I haven't quite found the perfect solution yet, so feel free to share. Thanks guys. -Kyle

Hello guys, I had a quick question, i am currently working on my 280z, and i'm wanting to clean up the inside a little bit, i have an idea of how i want it to look, but that's for another time. My question is can i drill out the spot welds and remove these runners that would have helped support the false floor that my 1977 280z would have originally had? Or will there be some structural issues that would need addressing if i were to remove these? Pictures hopefully can better describe the pieces in question, the raised pieces with the black grommet at the rear of the runner. Thanks for the helps guys. -Kyle

Saw that too, looks amazing!

Those look amazing! Hope they aren't too expensive, looks like alot of custom work, with the different door handles, and sheet metal door pulls. But thanks for posting, I'll be contacting them shortly to see on pricing. -Kyle

Reviving this old thread because I can't leave this without saying something. The book is still unfinished! I feel like a game of thrones fan yelling at George Martin. KEEP WRITING and don't kill anyone else off! Lol. As others have said, had I known, I would have totally offered to help. please update this thread, I wanna see some pics of this car you went through so much trouble to get! - Kyle

Looks fantastic. Inspiring me to rip. My dash out and do a complete interior overhaul. Do you know how well this would adhere with something like, dynamat? -Kyle EDIT: just sent dynamat an email, looks like dynamat xtreme will not bond with bedliner, it's designed for bare or painted metal.

Just came across this post and I can't to get my hands on some CF stuff. The quality looks fantastic and a great edition to any car. Keep us posted when purchasing is ready! -Kyle
