Hey guys, so I just got my first 280z a couple weeks ago, did some cleaning and tidying up, but the last owner had the dashboard and center console stripped out along with all the electronics and wires disconnected, is there anyway y’all can guide me to sources explaining which wires connect to which or how to reassemble everything?

Hey everyone, I decided to replace my center console for my 73 240z. The old one has some cracks and chips and the previous owner went at it with a drill and some wiring to install some custom switches that apparently he never got around to connecting. Anyway, I decided that since I have some carbon fiber manufacturing experience that this was as good an opportunity as any to try my hand at some design work and try making a custom carbon fiber part for my Z. I started with a scan of the old console- a couple buddies of mine have a free 3D scanning software that we used to get a really rough scan of the part- Converted to an STL and imported to solidworks: Next up I went about roughly reconstructing the old console. I had to do this all visually in solidworks since STL doesn't allow you to modify or "work on" the existing geometry. They were great for reference though! I spent a while using a measuring tape and the old console and the inside of the car and making absolutely sure that what I had in CAD was going to fit in the car. Next up I started making some modifications. First off was the shifter cutout: I decided to imitate the gauge "lenses" from the dashboard: Next up I modeled in some indents for my push button start, in addition to changing the shape of the rear section of the console: And of course, another shot with everything cleaned up, shifter, switches and push button added (those were modeled in somewhat loosely): I'm still at a loss for what to do with the back section- cup holder maybe? We'll see. I'll be 3D printing the mold Wednesday afternoon. I'm also open to suggestions on better ways to incorporate the push button start- although I've decided that I won't place them directly behind the shifter (wouldn't want to accidentally bump the ignition switch and shut the car off while shifting).

Putting together a new 240z project with 280zx turbo swap. Car needs lots of work. Putting my plan together now and know that I need the entire AC assembly, heater core, blower assembly, and vent and control set up. I was positive that I found a post last week selling all of these parts but having now searched for the past two nights without finding it I'm increasingly convinced that it was a dream.

Hello everyone, doing some major work to my Z that I got out of storage and the center console is shot, I have seen the bmw z3 consoles and they look like they might fit. Anyone try this?
