Iceman Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I was reading in the JTR (Jags that Run) conversion book, and it says and shows that the '70 240Z console is shorter than all of the other models, and the shift is slightly further back. It also says the later consoles wont fit in the '70 240Z, but it fits just fine in mine. The VIN identifies it as a '70 240, as does the registration. Anything else that I can look for to identify it as a '70 240Z or not? I'd really like to not have any doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturbo 930 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Yeah, behind the seats, are there two lids/storage compartments, or about 10 holes, roughly 2" in diameter? I really doubt anyone would take the time to modify/remove those. Your 240z has an L28 and 5spd right? I have an early 240z, with an L28 and 5spd, and the shifter hole is trimmed to allow the shifter to fit, since it is farther forward. Later 240z consoles fit in mine just fine as well.

zedsn Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Besides the vin there should be a stamp with the vin number in the metal around and above the brake booster on the firewall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zlalomz Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Thats a "Series One" judging from that last shot. I just sent you a PM about that console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daeron Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 that seat looks the same as the seats I have in my CRX; PO said they were Integra seats I believe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 your car looks damn good for being #2188 Thanks. One of the great benefits of being a California car. The prev owner took good care of it and did some nice work on it. that seat looks the same as the seats I have in my CRX; PO said they were Integra seats I believe? Not sure. They were there when i bought it. They do look integra-style thought. I had an 89 prelude that had very similar seats. I might seek them out for redoing the interior as the prelude had a very nice adjustable lumbar support, and adjustable "hugging" sides.
