city hunter Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Did a search but didnt see anything. I've been throwing around the diea for a while, since I havent been finding many decent 240z chassis around. I think it's possible, I'm guessing there would have to be some spot welds drilled out and what not. Anyone tried this? I hear the early 260z has all the wiring for it.

Vintage Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Look at Aziza Zs car, he has done the swap in his 280. From what I've observed and what he's said, it should be pretty straighforward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evildky Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I think they 240 lights will fit the 280 opening, I believe the only difference is the 280 has that extra light tot he center for the backup lihgt, you will of course need the panels to match, otherwise cut an weld I just don't see ti being worth the effort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

city hunter Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 good info. Thanks guys. I think I may start looking at 280's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allaboutdaz Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 yeah i did this mod myself also an it does require some cutting and welding as well as wiring. Might be worth it for some and not for others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
