Reddog Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Hello there - I am new to this forum and was just wondering about obtaining new Tie Rod Ends for my '77 Zed as they are pretty worn. Do the Aussie '74 to '78 260's all use the same part numbers? Looking on the net there are a number of aftermarket parts (CTR, Moog, Beck Amley etc;) from the US which cover the 280Z for that model year - would that part be any different from our 260's? Any help or advice would be much appreciated by a newcomer regards brands/availability and quality! Cheers, Rod. Quote
Sirpent Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Rod The 280Z is basically a 260Z with a fuel injected 2.8L motor. In late 74 - 75 Nissan sped up the introduction of the car into the US as Californian smog requirements meant the NA 2.6L wouldn't cut it. For instance, my shell built 1/75 has a Californian floor pan as there is a pressing to allow for the CAT converter, but its a 260Z so i would safely say that 280Z Tie rods would fit without any drama.
