That is a good deal. I just installed one and paid $140 but j had to pick it up myself. Lurch o the rescue. It would be so much harder to restore the Zs without this forum.

I had the same problem. Mine was "cocked" heater core and required replacing. Once that was done it is as good as new and controls slide very easy.

I am also keen to try to fins a way as my door glass is scratched. I did see a youtube video once on this but i am not convinced. I will see if i can find it.

Did this car came from NZ?

what a stunning and neat 260z I have been looking at the pictures of this car on the net for a while, the silhouette photo used to be my background This is exactly the look i am trying to achieve. If not the upcoming wedding i would be buying this girl in a heartbeat. Feeling a little sad that i will miss out on this beauty.

Great idea. Count my pledge in as well.

Update. Just received a call from Nissan, they no longer can get the shrouds and will be refunding the money. Back to the drawing board.

Ok now that we got to the bottom of it. Big thanks for everyone input and the part numbers. Lurch, Shrouds are available new from Nissan, $80 each for top and bottom. Next mission, find gearbox rebuild synchronizers. 1st gear feels like captain crunchy!.

Hi Gav, My 260z 2 seat is 1975. I have new weather seal under the bonnet and i have restored the under tray. It really stays nice and cool now. But the real test will be summer days. However this shroud business is on the RWC list. I may have to argue that the car never came wit them in the first place.

Thanks guys for the healthy discussion. Gav and Lurch, since you both are a bank of Z knowledge. So do we think that our Australian Delivered Zs came with the radiator shroud? I could argue the point that they never had it to start with, however original radiators do have holes for securing the shroud. This could be explained most part were interchangeable between LHD and RHD. MSA does not have shrouds for sale for the 260Z. Another option may be 2+2 shroud as radiators should be the same. I am so close to the RWC but this could really hold me up.

Hi, As per title, I can't find a radiator shroud for my 260z 2 seater. I am so close to RWC but it is missing the radiator shroud. If anyone has spare or could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Cheers Iceberg

Mate, just get a Z, you will not look back. I personally think that 2+2 Zs are not appreciated enough. If there were no 2 seat option the the 2+2 would cost a fortune. They have a beautiful shape. Zs are not hard to work on, I had little mechanical knowledge when I started. The hardest part for me is finding the parts for the right price. All is awaylable on the net. 2+2 parts are plentiful. Get one of those, not the zx. I have a two seater 260z that I am restoring but I also have 2x2+2 as I just like them, they need a lot of work but one 2+2 is running complete car and the other one is just a mint shell. Work out your budge for a good second hand one and add $5,000.0 for the repairs and you will have your self a really nice Z. Just couple of weeks ago a silver 260z two seat sold for $8500 on pretty good condition. That was a good buy. Also you will find that 260z two sweaters are usually in better condition than 240z. But 240z is the holy grail. I known of couple for $6,000.0 each but they need at least $10,000 (if you pay a reasonable shop to do the work) each to restore the bodies and make them road worthy.

Haha. Well played Sir.

Found a set of Work Equip 01s. which is my second favorite wheel to Watanabe. 15 x 8 -25 Front 15 x 9 -25 Rear I think the front would fit will rolled lip (which my step brothers Z has) but the rears are unlikely to fit? I would hate to install the flares as it is such a clean car. Si there anything i can do to fit 15 x 8 -25 Front 15 x 9 -25 without cutting the guards?

As tempting as your offer is ...... I have learned from Datsun Zs that i have to be patient. I cant believe just how long it takes to find some parts. Your wheels do look good and they do fill the wheel arch.

Thank you everyone. This is exactly what i was looking for. I decided to wait for a better fit wheels. I really want Watanabes to fill the wheel arch.

Hi, I have been trying to find a threat where it explains how much back space there is on a 260z 2 seater. I have folded guard lips and I am wondering if the 15x7.5 with + 27mm offset would fit. As far as I can figure out that is 190.5mm / 2 = 95.25mm + 27mm= 122.25 mm outer and 95.25mm-27mm= 68.25 back space. From those calculations it looks like it will clear the guard but I do not know if that is enough backspace. Am I doing the calculations right? Do you think that is enough backspace? Much appreciate the input as I have spend good two hours trying to find the right info on the threads. Iceberg

Finally! Interested for the 260z 2 seater

They are slightly too short but for that price they are hard to go past.

Please share photos. It would be very nice to see sellers photo as well as current owner photo.

Yes, once the order is over $1000 then the tax kicked in. Also it is not just plain 10% There are some fixed fees and then a percentage applied.

When are you thinking of doing this? How much time do I have? I just received an order two weeks ago. $300 for shipping and $220 for import tax.

Good find. Would be great to find dealer brochures and manuals
