Ever cooked a turkey inside your Zed?

OxZed · 01-31-2018, 08:12 PM

New Forum Member & 370Z owner from N. Carolina here ... Hi Folks!

To expand on my nifty title ... this is "sort-a" how I became a recent Z owner. I'm the proud owner of a 2017 370Z Sport in Magnetic Black ... 6-spd ... currently has 1,548 miles on the clock. But not all is peachy ... I acquired mine from Copart w/ a Salvage Title. Someone wasn't too happy with the original owner & set a little camp fire in the passenger seat!

I'm currently in the midst of the repair ... in fact, I have the "entire" interior gutted ~ that smoke soot gets everywhere!

Sure I'll have lot's of questions now that I can actually post, I've learned quite a bit already and the link to the '16 Service Manual was incredibly helpful.

Glad to be a part of the group; and, hopefully my acquisition method will not be frowned upon too badly. I suspect my next post will be a "WTB Seats" post in the classifieds section!

What a unique story!

Glad for you to join the Zed Club and good luck with the interior revamp!

Doesn't matter one bit.

Congrats on the car man and this site is an amazing place full of knowledge so i am sure you'll make good use of it while you get your car up to 100%

Also. Not sure to what extent you have the interior gutted but i would look into sound deadening while you have most of it out, you can quite down road noise as just one benefit among a few others etc....

Welcome to the Z family & check out nandosman's part out. He's selling black leather seats. Originally asked $800 but now best offer. He's in the Chicago area. I don't know him but just wanting to help out two fellow Z lovers.

Am I the only one who wants to see pics of all the damage?

Aw sure ... thought of doing a Gallery thread on the repair; but, I suppose this will suffice for now.

Story I got via the Insurance Adjuster was this was totaled for vandalism ... somebody got pissed at the original owner & lit the passenger seat. The heat spread & smoke did the majority of the damage - it must have been contained pretty fast.

Just off the truck, & covered in Auction Yard mud & dust ...

I would've liked to have said "it still had that new-car smell", but ... I guess I'll just have to be happy with the 1,500 miles on the clock.

Driver's Door Panel got a little toasty ...

Driver's Seat heat damage ... the white stuff on the floor mat is an aromatic baking soda that I placed to cut down that wonderful burnt plastic smell (it didn't help).

One thing I learned ... the '17's & newer have a different seat fabric vs. the '16's and older. It's making my desire to stay "model year correct" difficult. Here's where the turkey baked ... the passenger seat. I found remnants of "phone book" in the seat & a NASCAR cig lighter under the seat. I didn't snap any pictures of the headliner and visors, but they got the heat treatment too ... non-reusable to say the least

I've gutted the "entire" interior now. Cleaned every inch, and ozone'd the cabin. No odor at all remains at this point. I'm deep-cleaning every reusable part, and sourcing replacements for what is not ... the hard part.
