#13 looks like the four screws that attach the hatch hinge to the hatch. They are special and difficult to find.
MikeItems numbered 5 are the little rubber cushions for the fuel filler flap I think …
I don't think that's correct, they're to big and 'square'. The fuel filler ones are small round 'buttons'.Items numbered 5 are the little rubber cushions for the fuel filler flap I think …
Unlikely to find a UK source or someone who knows what to do with it. Best place to get a replacement is the US from https://zcarsource.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=Afm
You will need the part number as the 280z and 280zx AFM’s are not as interchangeable as would appear.
This is a good little article.

AFM’s have a couple of main faults. The thermistor that measures the airflow temperature can fail, the carbon tracks can wear on the door position circuit and the door spring can get stiff with corrosion and dirt, all are fixable to a degree.
7 are run of the mill stainless bolts and washers and not original bolts.Folks
(slightly tongue-in-cheek)
Do we do pop-quizzes on this forum or is there a better forum to see who can name the below screws/bolts and where they should go ?
Got a load of extras with the car (and I still dont have the car) that I dont know where they go
Thought it might be interesting to ask

You need to remove the metal retaining clip from the plastic connector
The clip is the thin round section rusty looking thing that runs approx. 75% of the way around the plug in a grove
Small flat blade screwdriver or a pick and gently ease it out of the grove its in - carefully though - they have been know to spring out and become lost forever
Minimal damage to air flow meter connector and saved the disappearing clip
Well done! not losing the clip is a skill many fail to master
Looking back at a previous image of your AFM it does look very sorry for itself
Just a thought, I'm pretty certain Nissan used Bosch components under licence for the 280Z and 280Zx EFI systems and the AFM does look very much like the style used on Bosch L Jetronic systems, if you're prepared to do some part number searching and cross referencing you might be able to find a replacement for it here in the UK
