78280z Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 zmaster you kind of stole my thread:nono:...just kidding:biggrin:. It's okay, I share your confusion about door glass compatibility. But, as far as I understand it, there were three different (incompatible) door glass styles: one for the 240z, one for the early 260z, and one for the late 260z and 280z. (See post#6 here: http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=95244) I've also heard that another issue some Z's run into is that at some point, a door was replaced with a door from a Z with a different glass style. So even though your Z might be a 280 for example, your door could be from a 240, so you would then need 240 door glass. (Ugh, so confusing.) So, the only way to be sure you get the right replacement glass is to measure everything up beforehand. i have a pair in my 73 parts car, you can have them if you come and get them. i'm in rochester... Thank you very much for your offer, it is very generous. I will check to see whether my doors are from a 280 or from a 240 and I will get back to you.

ArnZ Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I have both sides of a 75 280 and 77 280, let me know if I can help. Arnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmaster Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 how much are you willing to sell the drivers glass for, and is it for a coupe model, and what condition is it in??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.I.jonas Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 there were three different (incompatible) door glass styles: one for the 240z, one for the early 260z, and one for the late 260z and 280z. I have personally seen that a 75 280 window is not interchangable with a 78 280 window.So there must actually be at least 2 different windows just in the 280 line.

TrumpetRhapsody Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I've got the internals and glass from a door. I'll have to check, which side and get measurements, cuz I have no idea what it came out of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeron Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I just checked victoria british and motorsport auto to be sure. (Vic Brit's website wouldn't display that page of the catalog, or I would have made an image to lay this to rest permanently.) This all applies SOLELY to 2-seaters; to the best of my knowledge the 2+2 was the same but DO NOT quote me on that. The 77&78 doors were wholly different from every other S30 door; hence, the entire window was also different. The 260 and 280 (thru 76) windows were all the same; the 240 windows apparently were different, and I do not think you can swap parts, altho the doors themselves can be exchanged. So, the short version on the window hardware is, "240 type," "260-early 280 type," and "late 280 type." I want to say that the glass from a 240 may well work on any of the early style doors... it *might* require re-mounting the glass into a "later" piece of metal to put a 240 glass into a 75 280 window regulator, but I think I have heard tell of this before.

Titus_RacerX Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Just wondering what the average price for door glass (one side) is. Thanks in advance for any replies! I paid $45 for two complete doors. At first I was just wanting the glass because my glass was scratched. I wound up with two perfect doors that I will use to replace my existing doors. If you make some connections, I'm sure you can find some glass cheap. A couple of guys are parting cars on the forum. Ask them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That maybe true,i do remember that with the windows i worked with were not even interchangable in that way,i think the later 78 280 window has a larger area of glass at the bottom than the 75 and is not linear at the bottom.
