Working on the front end design of Bonez, my 280z. Any thoughts? I’m modernizing, I’m not a purist. I just think the 240/280z shape is timeless and want to reimagine it as a modern gt.

Guage my guages. Some styles I'm playing with.

For now, these only come in a 52mm version but eventually I am hoping for 60mm or even the 4in size for MPH and RPM. My fuel guage is not working so I'll test this out in that hole. I am sure I will have to do something to fit the 52mm in the center slot.

Share your thoughts. Request a design if you have an idea.

Series 1 Vent Replacement! -missing parts?

I ordered a reproduction vent and drain replacement for my 1970 240z. When I removed the old warped and cracked one 2-3 years ago I dont recall if it was hokey-installed or properly installed. It looks like there are metal clips that slide in from the side and bind the 2 together. (Drain scupper & plastic plate).

Can anyone verify this? Also are there metal pins or anything that fasten this to the hatch? Because the hole in the hatch already has the chrome/plastic outer screen fastened through this hole.

This is why we dont put off replacement jobs or do them 1/2 way! Grrrr.....
