I have a couple of pieces missing from my 1973 240z tool kit.. 2 spanners and a screw driver I believe. I am going on some vague info collected from the net. The USA market may have received different tool list, early and late 240z probably different too. On top of this the paRts catalogue lists a whole host of extra tools including a complete socket set! Bet they're rare... And expensive! 

Anyway, just wondering if anyone can confirm official tool kit list? 

This is what I have come up with but possible wrong. 

1973 toolkit:

8x10 spanner

12x14 spanner

Pliers

Wheel nut wrench

1x Screw driver with reversible shaft, Philips one end flat other end

{I have seen 2x screwdrivers also, flat and Philips in other Datsun/Nissan toolkits} 

Chocks x2, mine are fold ups but have seen fixed types also 

Jack with 2 piece, red jack handle

 

Please note my photo of toolkit has wrong spanners and screwdrivers, 1 spanner is Toyota other is Suzuki, don't know brand of screw driver

I am also wondering if a 17mm spanner should be in the official set?

Hi Craig

My 1973 car tool kit came complete with missing spanners screwdriver and pliers......I bought this kit from B Projects in Japan quite a while ago ...

My wheel chocks are the fixed type...the car was a one registered owner car so I'm pretty confident that they were original.

Well I have a very early '74 260Z ex-NZ which I've owned since '84 and AFAIK the toolkit is all original along with the steel spare wheel and would probably be identical to that of your '73.

Carry pouch with pair spanners, pliers, reversible screw driver, 2-piece jack handle & wheel nut wrench; plus the scissor jack and a pair of chocks of the fixed type. And not 'Zed' specific either, other Datsuns of that era owned by me, friends and family had basically an identical kit.

I suspect the folding chocks came out later; I have a pair which AFAIK came from a USA 280Z.

My 2c worth anyway.
