Marine1342 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Just realized that the MSA sale ends today... I'm looking for a complete vinyl kit to replace the inside of my early 77 280z and the kit that MSA has on sale for the 280z is only the rear portion. The 240z kit they have on sale (not much more expensive, is the complete (both front and rear) Comparing with the blackdragon automotive kit for the 280z which runs $440, has everything but the price is a turn off (so's the color but that can be changed) My question is, does the 240z interior vinyl fit into the 280z, or did they change the dimensions of trans tunnel, wheel arches etc? MSA Sale - Interior vinyl kit I did a search on the interior forum and didn't find anything for viny/fabric swap. Granted I am pressed for time (sale ends today) and didn't do a complete 100% search, so any quick replies would be most appreciated. Thank you for the input and time, and I'll take any flaming or ass chewings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddmanout84 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 (edited) Dunno. From that link it looks like the 280z vinyl is cheaper. Why would you want the 240 set? The tranny tunnel? I have a 240 vinyl set that I got used for free, and it fit. Granted, I didn't use the tranny tunnel piece. Everything else worked just fine though with minor modifications (just had to cut 2 bolt holes for the 280z shock tower mounted seatbelts). Edit: I can't see why the tranny tunnel piece wouldn't fit as well, I just didn't use it because mine is freshly carpeted already.

z2go Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 There are some significant differences between the 240 and 280. I want to say that the 240 kit uses less vinyl than the 280, so the 280 kit might work in a 240, but I don't think it will work the other way around.

19762802+2 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I'm pretty sure the 280z has a tranny "bump" on the transmission tunnel and the 240z doesn't so I don't think the 240z vinyl would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marine1342 Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 Drat. Ok thanks for the last minute help guys. Guess it'll have to wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74Adam Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Also, isn't the tranny tunnel carpeted on the 280's (at least it is on my 78)? Not that you couldn't put vinyl on if you wanted to, just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sticky280zx Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 yes 280z is "carpeted" instead of having the vinyl, also more to remember is shape and they vary, as well as different size trans tunnels etc, You should always buy what is for your car model when it comes to upholstery kits because of the length,tightness/fit.
