B00STDZ Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Hello I am curious as to what other years of doors have the same latch mechinism and shape as the early 1974 260z doors. Is the 73 240z door the same? Or does the 260z door take the style more of the 75 280z? Or is it totally unique in latch and shape? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B00STDZ Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 Kind of vague and changes opinion throughout. Started out 70-76 interchange then went to 74-76 interchange. And acually it would seem the 77-78 doors have the best design but are not swappable on an early body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zcarnut Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 You can use the 1970-73 S30 doors on your 260Z. I have a ’73 door on my 260Z. The only issue is that the inside door handle screws of the earlier doors do not line up with the 260Z interior door handle (remember that they changed the design for the 260Z). You have to drill new holes for the screws, but it’s no big deal. A side benefit is that the earlier doors weigh less than the 260Z doors.
