plexus Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I have looked all around and cant find the molded weather stripping for my 280zx(82). Am i to beleave that the weather stripping for the zx is the same as a z(280z,260,240, etc), since most other componets are interchangeable between the the different series of the two different body types.

PhilbertZ Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 they are NOT the same. ZX stripping is hard to find...but I think there are several threads here if you search - that show alternatives - using hardware store issue stripping to do the job. Let us know what you find....I'll need to do it someday.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plexus Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 Thanks Phill, if i find it, you bett-cha i will let hybrid-z know. I need weather stripping like a addict looking for a fix...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckolander Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I need weather stripping like 2 years ago when it started to rain not only in my lap, but also down the back of my neck. ****Note to anyone else who thinks that maybe a little clear silicone will patch up the leaks in the weatherstripping...................It Doesn't Work.

cville_280zxt Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Coincidentally, I just posted a Q to ZMOW about this on zcar.com about 20 minutes ago. There was a post back in May where he said he was working with Precision to hopefully make a few different body gaskets and weatherstipping pieces one at a time. We'll see what he has to report- Good news hopefully ! http://www.zcar.com/forums/read/1/2001755 Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've had them for the other Z's but not the ZX....you sure they carry it for the ZX now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cville_280zxt Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 If there is one thing that really makes me jealous of the Z guys it's the weather stripping availability for the S30s. There's nothing more depressing than finding a puddle of water on your rusting floorboards after a rain shower knowing you'll be spending lot of time and effort on fixing them in the near future. I envy being able to buy a complete body gasket kit for a couple hundred bucks when that wouldn't even cover a single ZX door ! *sob*. I guess I'll just have to drive on sunny days and keep the Z under the carport until the day come that the weather stripping is affordable Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesse Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 i know exactly what you mean i was wondering if we could not just buy the weather stripping for a same year 2+2 and trim in the middle to fit. Then use some black silicone and have a good seal:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borini63 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Guys.... I just posted a set in Ebay.....pulled them out from 1980 280ZX 10thAE with low miles and garaged(still soft).

jkh280zx Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Recently, purchased the door weatherstrips (34-1082 & 1083) for $299 each side from MSA, not as listed in catalogue. Also, recently, purchased 3 of the four WS for the front windshield for $149 from Gary at Jonesboro Nissan. Purchased extras from Chris (ckelly78z) who currently has two ZXTs in parts-for-sale. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eec564 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I found that my t-tops leaked between the seals and the body. I pulled off the seals very carefully, so as not to tear them, then cleaned everything very well. Sealed it all back up with black RTV, and no more leaks! What worries me finding a decently priced source for the rear hatch glass weather stripping. I'm not sure I can remove mine to re-seal it without breaking the window. Neither Black Dragon or MSA carry the seal so I can just cut my old one out and use a new one, not worrying about killing my 800$ glass. Edit: FAST got me part # 90310-P7960. Courtesy Nissan has it for 82$. Ouch. That's the the weather stripping on the rear hatch of my 82 2+2. All S130 2+2s should be the same. 90310-P7900 should be for late 80/81+ two-seaters.
