260z blues Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 My current door has significant rust around the hinge area and some along the bottom and thinking it may be better to start with a new door. Its a 76 2 seater so not 100% sure what doors would be exchangeable to suit the different latch mechanisms and disgn. Any help on parts and info would be awesome.

AndBir Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Maybe contact this ebay seller and check if this one is compatible: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/DATSUN-260Z-RHS-Drivers-Door-rare-late-1976-onwards-/192351736185?nma=true&si=lbagRzK8upN8GcUOkEZuGanhye8%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brabham Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Post a photo of your latch area so we can see if it is early or late Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260z blues Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 That door looks okay. Im fairly new to buying parts for these. Is this a premium price or normal.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilltech Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) Is this a premium price or normal.? Hard to say with just one photo re shell condition, but the glass is in it & presumably the winder gear so that's probably fair. It's sold now anyway. But you need to do what Brabham advised & post a photo of your door latch - early & late 260Z doors are quite different & not interchangeable & if your car is a '76 then it's right in the middle so who knows which it is.

240ZR Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 It's still for sale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280zUSA Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Make sure you look at the slam plate at the back of the door opening to see that it matches the shape of you latch There are 2 different shapes... Also 2+2 doors and 2 seater doors are different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240ZR Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Here's a pic of the latch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilltech Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 That white door must be off a later 260 as the latch is completely different to my '74. 280zUSA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
