Guest WildZ Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 I have two questions about 73 240Zs: 1) Without taking my car apart, does anyone know exactly how much each complete door and the hatch weigh? 2)Is there a company out there that makes fiberglass or carbonfiber doors and hatch for a 73 Z? Thank you in advance, Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DatsunBoy77 Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Dont know how much they weigh, but a company does make fiberglass parts, but i dont recomend them. Showcar body parts is their name. I have been contemplating getting their hatch, but i really am afraid it wont be nice looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruxGNZ Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Arizona Z used to make those parts, but they don't offer them any more. John Washington from Reaction Research is curently working on making some FG doors. Other body panels/parts can be found here. !M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueovalz Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Doors (both w/hinges and glass) weighed 91 lbs when I replaced my '72 door with the skins I made from fiberglass. The hatch weighs (w/hinges again) 41 lbs. I have the door panels at 11 lbs, but I cannot remember if I weighed them with or without the doors (I'm guessing they were not included in the door weight being I had a separate weight for them.

Trevor Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 A small firm called Origin Design in Arizona used to make and sell fiberglass doors, just a shell - race only part - without window mechanism IIRC. John Washington at Reaction Research bought the Origin molds and might be able to produce these parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 spirit garage sells CF hatches. If i recall correctly, they cost around 1200.00$ spendy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74_5.0L_Z Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 I weighed my doors(hinges, glass, door panels, armrest) on my early 1974 Z while they were off. They weighed 67 lbs each. I would love to have a second set of doors that are just skins, or fiberglass. I could save another hundred pounds off the car. Its an Emod autocross/street car.
