Pulling The Dash [Part 5]: Resolving no heat (vent selector) issues, and replacing heater hose (ducting?)... the cabin HVAC system. As usual this should be largely similar for any S30 Fairlady Z (240Z / 260Z/ 280Z). New Video Sunday (then one final, detailed dash installation video, and we can finally move on lol) ** Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FixingWithFriends/ Drivetribe: https://drivetribe.com/t/fixing-w-friends-e5NhP3M7SNKYONij5HBPYQ ~~~~~ Skip ~~~~~ Opening - 0:00 Vent Selector - 1:22 Heater Hose Retrofit - 6:41 ___________ Credits ___________ Starring - Datsun / ニッサン 280Z Co-starring - That Guy You Know Dance Of The Incognizant -by- FantomenK Get the album on Itunes! https://music.apple.com/us/album/fantomenk/426984733 License: Permission by Artist

Pulling The Dash [Part 4]: vacuum heater valve removal & rebuild That time we played with a water cock | Fixing With Friends These parts often leak and soak the passenger's carpet (FFS Nissan is everything an inuendo with you!?). The replacement part costs a fair amount online, save yourself a fair bit of money and buy a $2 o-ring. This video is a complete how to guide on the removal, restoration, and installation of the vacuum water cock and should apply fairly closely to most years of S30 (it is easier to say than "240Z / 260Z / 280Z / Fairlady Z"). ** Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FixingWithFriends/ Drivetribe: https://drivetribe.com/t/fixing-w-friends-e5NhP3M7SNKYONij5HBPYQ ~~~~~ Skip ~~~~~ Removal 0:53 Referbishment 9:41 Re-installation 17:16 ___________ Credits ___________ Starring - Datsun / ニッサン 280Z Co-starring - Michael Drown In Thoughts by XTaKeRuX King Of The Broken Hearts by XTaKeRux https://freemusicarchive.org/music/XTaKeRuX/ License (CC BY 4.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode #Fairlady #Z #CoolantLeak #Repairs

Pulling The Dash [Part 3]: Customize your dreary gauge cluster with colourful LEDs! In this episode of Fixing W/ Friends 'That Guy You Know' buys the wrong LEDs. To solve the problem we combine (aka recycle, or 'upcycle' as the trendy people say) old incandescent bulbs with the new LEDs to make a more attractive and brighter (slightly) interior. (Applies to Any S30 240Z/260Z/280Z) ** Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FixingWithFriends/ Drivetribe: https://drivetribe.com/t/fixing-w-friends-e5NhP3M7SNKYONij5HBPYQ ~~~~~ Skip ~~~~~ Opening - 0:00 Removing gauges - 0:43 Presenting the problem - 5:33 Testing the concept - 6:46 Installing the new 'bulbs' - 13:05 Final product - 15:44 ___________ Credits ___________ Starring - Datsun / ニッサン 280Z Cameo by - Michael's Kia Optima Century by Yellow Cop Album - Tragedy Memories https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Yellow_Cop/Tragedy_memories/Yellow_Cop_-_Tragedy_Memories_-_03_Century License (CC BY-SA 4.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode Battle of Pogs by Komiku Album - Poupi's incredible adventures ! https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Komiku (CC0 1.0) Public Domain
