I’ve got a bare 260z S30 dash, no gauges and suits recovering.

There is no such thing as a RHD 280z Dashboard. The 280z was sold exclusively in North America and was LHD. However a 260z was sold in Australia from 74-78 and was the same style as North American dashboards, but obviously RHD suitable.

Finished painting the shift boot and surround. Went with black for the shift boot to break up all the red. shift boot and surround were brown to begin with. The surround plastic was pretty knackered from UV damage. Lots of sanding later I had a paint shop match the interior trim color, it was spot on, happy with the result. And with everything installed also can we take a second to appreciate how cool the oem Nissan gear knob’s are? Rule number 32 of zombieland, enjoy the little things… My slave cylinder rod was too long and didn’t allow for any downward adjustment of the clutch take up point. I cut 15mm off my slave cylinder rod and then threaded 15mm further down. Drives like a dream now…

On the advice of Gav240Z I post this as a warning on scams coming through this forum. As you can see from my first post I was looking to purchase a set of MK63 Sumitomo brake calipers. a couple of days after my post I received an unsolicited email from a person named "Seitzxvx" purporting to be a member of this forum suggesting that I contact a person on the email dtatumz@outlook.com as he had some calipers for sale. Talking to Gavin earlier today it would appear that the people involved have either no posts to the forum, or have only one post to the forum. Their IP addresses are based in the United States,. Los Angeles in particular not Queensland as I was led to believe. So there is every chance that Seitzxvx was just lurking in the background waiting for some unsuspecting person like me to come along and be the victim of a scam. I duly contacted the third person and it was confirmed that he had some calipers for sale. I transferred payment and it would seem that the whole thing was an elaborate set up from the start. We paid him by Paypal, which wanted to convert $Aud to $US, it went through and then the payment was refunded for some reason. I asked my daughter to resend the payment only to find the the payment wouldn't go through the second time, so I elected to do the payment by International bank transfer. My stupidity. I probably should have twigged when Paypal wanted to convert the payment to $US. So please be warned that there are some scumbags out there using legitimate forums and the like to fleece the unwary. So this is the guy that was the recipient of the payment https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100075052544384 I will report this to both my bank and to Scamwatch but I doubt that I will ever see either the brake calipers or my $$$ back Be warned
