innerware Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Ok so I'll be the one to say it. There is an abundant amount of info available in the search. This is something I have read myself here that is supposedly fairly easy to do. Your mounts have to be replaced, but you'll find out when you find an old thread.

DavyZ Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 can anyone help me, will a datsun 240z 1973 front bumber guard fit on a 1978 280z. thanks in advance. -alex Yes, you must remove the old bumper first and then create custom brackets to hold the 240Z bumper. All it takes is a little fabrication. Do a good enough search (as stated above) and you'll find pictures of cars with the 240Z bumper that didn't come with them. Try a Google search and maybe you'll find a link to a site with a pic of all that someplace. One HybridZer has a website with the info...somewhere.

fl327 Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Ive done that conversion to three 280z cars right already, I can say its pretty easy. For the rear, the 260z brackets and a 240z or early 260z bumper will bolt right up, after you get rid of the rear bump supports or saw them off, I usually saw them off. For the front you have to drop the front bumper supports and fab up some L bracket looking brackets. Drill the body side of the brackets to bolt up where the 280z bumper supports go, and use the 280z bolts to bolt them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sukimoto Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 would it require much fabrication for a 240,260,280 front on a 280zx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks280zt Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 yes because the dimensions are different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
