Hi guys, I’ve already posted my new 260Z elsewhere on the forum (as a newbie), but interested to know what’s different from what the factory would have fitted. This is a late UK 260Z (registered in 1980) and due to its history and what I can see, it’s not been apart and restored, but some bits changed.
Initial thoughts are:
I’ve found a few worn bushes (gear lever and rear near side suspension) which will get replaced when stuff arrives - or over next winter. Steering wheel rubber has succumbed a little so have ordered a replacement but will keep the original.
There was no jack with it, just the handle and wheel brace. Had a leftover Laurel jack which looks right but too big for the hatch.
Thanks for helping with getting some more knowledge about these cars.
Initial thoughts are:
- Carbs and airbox have been changed.
- Front badge changed.
- Bumpers/overriders changed.
- Anything else?
