aj_ Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 These have got me stumped. Just behind the ashtray, in the console itself. Am I missing something? Or did someone get a bit drill-happy? Quote
Moderators PB260Z Posted April 17, 2016 Moderators Posted April 17, 2016 Looks like someone got a bit excited with the drill. aj_ 1 Quote
aj_ Posted April 17, 2016 Author Posted April 17, 2016 Dammit. You think they could've stopped at one. Quote
Moderators PB260Z Posted April 17, 2016 Moderators Posted April 17, 2016 (edited) Maybe just throw a couple of black switches or rubber grommets in the holes for now ? Edited April 17, 2016 by PB260Z Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted April 17, 2016 Administrators Posted April 17, 2016 Maybe have been for an aftermarket arm rest...Seen that on 240z's a lot. Especially US cars. aj_ 1 Quote
Shaun05 Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 I've seen a number of styles of cup holder (again, U.S. cars) that fit around that area. A couple of them required drilling holes. aj_ 1 Quote

Shaun05 Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 I just take the ashtray out to get my cupholder. I'm not sure I like your cavalier attitude toward beverage consumption, sir. What about your passenger? What about the second super sized coke you just bought for yourself? It's a serious concern for our American friends. An American colleague of mine once informed me, he was unable to ride a motorcycle due to the lack of a cup holder! In fact, I'm surprised they ever managed to sell a Z in the states, considering the lack of cup holders. Due to "popular request from many of our customers" the Z store make a "Deeper Drinker cup holder" for the Z. http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/classic08e06/50-2585 Andrew_L26, aj_, datoman and 1 other 4 Quote
Groundhog Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 Not sure if this helps. My 77 2+2 has a hole in the ashtray for a light lense. If you had one of these you would have a hole in the ashtray and two rivet holes, like shown in the photo I have just added.http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/3291-centre-console-renovation-diy/page-3?do=findComment&comment=176583 The earlier ashtray holder frame in the post above is from an earlier 2+2 and does not have the ashtray light. So the holes in the ashtray are not related to light. I agree with the cup holder theory. Quote

Then I looked at the link and it was true! Now my belly hurts from laughing. I need an extra tall drink! Quote
