D head bolts

Featured Replies

The lable came off of the bag containing these 4 bolts with a D shaped head. Can anyone help with where they go. Thanks, Skip

Thanks for the input. These bolts came off of my early 260z. I went though my FSM and CD and cannot find any reference around the driveshaft/r200 area.

They may be from a ZX. I pulled a few 5 speeds lately from the JY and make sure and take these with me as I like them better than what was on my 240. Plus the nuts eventually get rounded off because they are hard to get a wrench on (yours are headed that way) and they are certainly a better grade and fit than what you can buy as replacements at the hardware store.

They do look just like the drive shaft to diff bolts from my '78 280Z.

I am wondering if they came off of the ZX that I pulled the r200 out of? Thanks for your help.

Hmmm, now I'm annoyed that I bought OEM 240Z D/S bolts, nuts, and washers on eBay a few months ago. I'll have to add those bolts/nuts to my JY shopping list.

Those same bolts were on my 73, driveshaft to diff.

My '78 280Z does, of course have an R200, and it is a very late build date - so I have found that some things on the car were early adoptions for the oncoming 280ZX's. I don't have any earlier 280Z stuff to compare to.
