sileightygx Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 so i have a feb '71 240z. i was looking for a replacement rear hatch because mine seems somewhat tweaked and has a lot of issues. i found a hatch listed for sale that says 72-73. the only difference i know of is just the earlier 70 hatches have the interior vent. however since i have a 71, shoudlnt the rest of the later year 240z hatches be identical to mine?

240zN/A Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 it could be tweaked because they have adjusters were the bolts hold it down. and yes every 240 and 260z from 71-74 have the same hatch dont know if the 280 does or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sileightygx Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 well by tweaked i mean physically bent and would need some rust work on the underside. so im just weighing either replacing it with a mint newer 240z one i found or doing the work on the original.

Pharaohabq Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 All S30 Hatches will fit other years. the early ones just have the vents and only one strut support. I'm going to put a early Z hatch on my 280Z. NM has a lot of heat that the vents should help with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOOD LUCK finding a decent hatch with the vents (Series 1) that isn't rusty, or going for a price that you can buy an entire shell for. But I agree, all the hatches from 71 to 78 are pretty much the same. Just my two cents worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
