Water inlet

Hi,

I need a water inlet for my 510 as mine has seen better days. I ordered one from my local Nissan dealer in May, but it is yet to arrive so I've been looking for alternives and there are lots advertised for 240Z on US websites, however are they the same size?

The items look very similar, but I suspect 510 is a smaller item, does anyone on here know if the 240Z part would fit..?

Images of mine attached for reference, TIA.

Cheers,

JK

As Mark N points out, the difference is in the heater take-off(s). The bolt centres and rad hose size are the same as L24/L26/L28, as it is part of the 'modular' L-gata parts sharing design philosophy.

Early 510s had a pipe-threaded heater pipe connector, with a variation on what came after that (depending on layout/model variant) but you probably have a later engine, and you can use the 13049-P0300 generic part which is still available.

It looks like some 510s have two (as below), but obviously not yours judging by the photos

Thanks Mark, I'd seen a lot with the secondary pipe which mine hasn't got as you can see, good to know they are a similar item.

Thanks too Alan, I'll get one ordered from the US and hope it arrives quicker than my Nissan dealer can manage :)
