What's in there?
While digging around the back of my recently aquired first Z, looking at rust spots and how extensive they are.. I realized that the trunk has a left compartment with a lock. Not the side containing the spare...
The lock is not in it, it was buried beneather the floormats, and try as I might, I just can't seem to get the panel open.
What's in there, do I need to get at it, and how the heck do I get that panel off without the lock?

Bwahahahhahahaahaa you are all wrong!!!! I am in germany, I have 2 1986 nissan 300zx. The european models came with a air pump instead of the chemicals to air up the tire. I ganked it from that z and now it chills in my american one. Just setting the facts straight

Well, either way.. I just discovered it it possible to smush a bottle of tireslime and a pump into that mysterious spot.. so now I can use the spare tire compartment for extra storage... or a custom subwoofer....

wrong!!!
it did not come in the same compartment as the spare tire
in fact, the only thing that was in there is the tire itself, if you noticed they made a place for everything, like the little tire changing kit under the carpet, and did yours come with a tools pouch? I found that in there also, in that compartment, I found a airpump and a little bag that was leather and said nissan on it. so, I once again state, Bwhahaha, I am right, and you are wrong
later
ps, you dont have to act like your are uptight, you seem pretty cool the other times I talked to you

Did you buy your Z31 new, or are you just guessing the previous owner didn't move anything?

well thats weird, Mine does not have a strap, and the original owner was a pilot and never drove it that much, and the owner before that was an old lady that did not even know where the stuff was. so if I am wrong my bad, but seriously, there are no straps in the spare tire area, ps, how many of you own a euro model? Just curious.
And there does not seem to be that much more power if any, I did run times and there is a small difference between the two. All I know is that the euro model came with a cooler for the diff and one for the power steering.
ps. EUROPE SUX, imagine weather like -1*C and having to jump into your car, start it up and just drive off. Because it is illeagle to have your car running idle for more than 4 min. and to top all that off, you cant do any maint. in your own garage, and no hard labor on sunday, so forget about mowing the lawn, and washing your car, wait, thats illeagle too!!!! The only thing that is cool, is seeing these little station wagons flying past you at almost 200mph, because I was going 155 mph, then this car passes me like I am sitting still....IT WAS A STATION WAGON...tears.
