Hi Nick,

 

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Datsun-260z-coupe-Door-RHS/171521663525

 

It is apparently a 260z 2 seater.

 

"They came off a 260z two seater 1975 mod."

 

If the seller isn't helpful with shipping let me know? I might be able to collect on your behalf.

 

However if you don't want the door mirror, please let me know? I asked if he would sell separate but didn't respond to that query. Which I assume means no.

 

They are also selling a passenger door.

It certainly looks like my 240z on the inside but a photo of the hinge and latch area would confirm.

Thanx for the heads up Gav but these must be late doors as they have a slightly different shape at the dog leg... besides, only after the shell. Anyone else?

No they are definately 74-75  2-seater doors. Later doors have a different catch mechanism and different cutouts on the inside.

 

I have the same type of door shell (74 260z) on my 240z.

FWIW if the price was sensible I'd take the door glass as a spare if it's the correct light blue tint which it should be, for my '74 260 2-seat. Problem is I'm in Brisbane, so probably not practical.

They are definitely different to the doors on my '76 model. Mine does have the same latch & striker plate as a 240Z as well as the same curve at the bottom corner where it meets the dog leg. These ones on don't have as much of a rounded curve.

Yeah I'm confused also, time for photos of said door perhaps?

Strange. 76,77 should have the later style catch system.

Of the dozen or so Z's (2+2 and 2-seaters) ive owned or chopped up over the years that seemed consistant. I have a 73 240z aswell as a 75 260z and their doors interchange (identical to the red one for sale on ebay) I even bought a 77 door once by mistake and it bolted up but due to the different catch it obviously couldnt stay closed. I even cut and shut a 75 2+2 door which also worked on my 240z.

 

So you reckon the later doors have a different curve near the dogleg? Have you actually tried to fit other doors or just eyeballing? There have been many people who modify their 240z to run the later catch or doors and vice-versa aswell as my previous experiences. So im lost..

That photo above is a later 260z door with latch correct Tai?

 

Here are some early 240z style door photos for reference.

The circular cut out at the bottom looks different.

Yeah Gav its a later (so i believe) 76-77 doors that i just got off google images.

 

Here are pics of my 75 260z door on my 73 240z. I have also confimed 74 260z door is identical to 75 doors. They are different to 240z doors but they fit fine.
