kicker Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Choice pics man, 2nd to last is my fave, Ced is looking sharp! Interior looks spot on, is the 230 centre console offset all? I need to bend my lever a bit as the MT requires an offset hole in the offset console haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 Chairs bro, the console doesn't seem to be offset at all, the shifter definitely isn't right in the middle of the tunnel though. The shifter that came with the box was for a 240Z (it's out of Mikeys 240Z) and it was just ridiculous. This one's from a 180B or something, it needed a slight tweak backwards so I wasn't reaching super forwards but it all worked out pretty good. Just got a local trimmer to knock up a shift boot as it was the only bit missing, and she's good as gold. If you didn't, I totally recommend putting one of those rubber boots under the console screwed to the tunnel... it keeps so much noise out.

kicker Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I've got a 280z lever, it needs to be an inch to the left and an inch further forwards to sit nice and central but it is still usable at the moment. I have a 280zx lower boot and bracket, just had to curve it a bit more for the tunnel but it fits nicely. Have been enjoying the 5 speed, found myself overtaking traffic for once the other day, wow!

Avenga Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Great shots. Good to see you are getting some early practice with the 70-200mm 2.8L You probably won't want to give it back. Cedric is looking sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB30VB Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Quick question. This is a sedan and not a Hardtop correct? I mean thats what I thought, but we're doing a windscreen for an old chap with one of these, I havent seen the vehicle myself but the guys who went to do the job had no idea about that and didnt think to look, making my job bloody difficult. Also our supplier does not make sedan version windscreen so I was kinda hoping I was wrong and this is what they call a hardtop? but im pretty sure its sedan yes? Do you know anyone that has parts for these? A windscreen in particular? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldturkey Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 You are in luck, I have a windscreen in my garage for an h230 260c sedan.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Generally a hardtop has no b-pillar. Richard's is a sedan but that's not to say the windscreen from a 230-series hardtop sedan wouldn't fit a pillared sedan or even that from a hardtop coupe wouldn't fit a pillared sedan. A lot of times in the 50's/60's/70's it wasn't until after the A-pillar that things started changing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
