blue72 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I like that color on Z's. Shifter looks a little funky though. What part of Utah are you in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cockerstar Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I really like those seats! What shape is the dash in? My vote would go to ditching the rear bumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaspendlove Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 I really like those seats!What shape is the dash in? My vote would go to ditching the rear bumper dash looks good other than they have a liner on it and it have been glued down to it. I will take out the bumper.

duder280z Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 The shifter looks like the pickup truck shifter mod, except they forgot to cut the top off. Pretty goofy the way it is now. Looks like you got a pretty sweet deal though, nice paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaspendlove Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 yea. i will be taking it out. any suggestions on a new one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue72 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 So what are the plans for your car? I read on another forum that you'd ripped the interior out already. As far as shifters go you could find one from a junkyard 240,260 or 280Z. Different years had different bends to them and I'm not brushed up on which is which (I did include a few links at the end that might help). The bushing are available for them from a few places. Another option is a short shifter kit like those available from MSA. A few links you might enjoy: http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/shifterbushing/index.html This site shows some differences between shifters and their bushings. http://www.geocities.com/jasonparuta/gearbox.html He has a short shift kit on his tranny. http://datsunzgarage.com/engine/ He talks about transmissions in this section.

Jaspendlove Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 at the moment i just to make it look like stock but with some of my touches to it. I want to paint it black and have tan interior. The seats I took out are in excellent condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaspendlove Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 my wife and I were going to move to texas. we had the house up for sale and all. I ended up getting a different job here. but one day we want too. did you see the other pics of the 350z? I will have to look for that short shifter. The wiring hanging out was for the radio. it looked like they had an aftermarket one once. Yea I am not a fan of that spoiler. I think I will be taking it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
