V8_DatZun Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 280z dash fits in 280zx... not perfect tho.. new brackets have to be made, and a new cap to fit against the windshield.. dont know about 240 in a 280 tho.. sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumo Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I would think that the 240 would fit in the 280 but i would worry about the mounting points being slightly different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evildky Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I've not compared the direct mounting points but they appear to be the same, or course the wireharness and gauge mounts are different and the console has to match the dash, and the 240 is set up to have the fuse box unsed the ashtray where as the 280 has the fuse panel in the passanger kick panel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 im curios to know whether or not my uncracked 280 dash will fit in my early 260 dash. =/ that would be good info too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iaconsultants Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 About 20 years ago put a 77 280z dash in a 73 240z and had no problems with that and it mounted right in. I would assume it would go the other direction also I would assume it would be the same for the 260Z. I did this because I wanted to have an AC dash in the 240Z and I had a 77 parts car with a clean dash with the AC ducts. The fun part was the installation of the rest of the AC system going from the 280 to the 240. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globerunner513 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 i know that a couple knobs on the 280 dash is different from the 240 (brightness controll/trip reset). But other than that it should fit as far as size and everything goes...but not completely sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinhZXT Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 Thanks everyone for the replies. I am going to buy a 240Z with a perfect dash. I need to put this dash into my 77 280Z project car. Careless, Maybe we can swap since the 240Z is a bit closer to the 260Z. I am buying the 240Z regardless. Vinh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
