The inside of the New Z
7 Attachment(s)
So I know I posted pics of the outside of the car so I thought I could post some of the inside of it. I just got through stripping it down to the carpet well the majority of it I have yet to vacuum the old or clean anything, I do think it looks pretty darn good for being 30 years old. I bought new carpet to go in it, figured it might be a good project while it's raining out.
Thanks :037: |
I can recommend a great cleaner spray for the carpet and seats. It's got the word 'stuff' in the name, Tuff Stuff I think, comes in a big can, you spray it on dry as a foam that all soaks in after a minute. Then you just rub it out with a clean terry towel that's pretty wet but not dripping. Cleans just about everything very fast and smells good. Parts stores should have it. Made my Zs look new again. :unibrow:

No rust worth a dang! Did you check under the foam tool block and the spare tire well?
Guys use the old carpet pieces as templates to cut new carpet to fit. If you threw the old carpet out, ouch. :unibrow: |

So I'm going to be looking for good carpet and that foam stuff that was under it I guess it might be some kind of noise insulation or w/e I want to make the carpet nice and poofy like the original carpet if possible. I'll be buying it as soon as I can find it. :icon_super: Thanks bud. |

84-89 Nissan 300ZX Carpet 2-Seater Complete Kit 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989 The heavy mass backing sounds like a good idea, but it really isn't. Save the extra cost for a set of matching floor mats instead. |

From the description, I think the sound/heat barrier material sold by Stock Interiors is the same or similar to Dynamat, which you can buy at O'Reilly's or on Amazon. I haven't used it in my Z, but have used it to replace the peeling foam insulation in an old John Deere tractor cab. It's a heavy foil backed with a layer of asphalt. Simply strip off the backing paper, press in place and roll out any bubbles. I liked it for that particular project because it stayed in place on a vertical surface. I've never seen a need for it in my NA engines Z. I skipped on the heavy mat backing for the carpet because of comments by others on the forum. Mostly difficult to cut and alters the fit to the point the carpet doesn't lay down like the original.

Like a lot of guys, I start on one thing and then half way through change directions. I spent last winter color sanding the body, but haven't had time to buff it out completely. Life tends to get in the way.
Like you said speakers for one, maybe fuel filter or pump if it's in the gas tank? I'm putting new quarter windows in. Eventually I will be taking the dash out to paint it but kind of want to get thru what I have out already. Thanks :icon_super: |
