240 in OZ

Hey The triangle thingy or dovetail can be purchased new from Nissan. Look up the part number at www.carfiche.com and contact your nearest Nissan dealership.

Sorry, make that NO RHD 240z cars produced.

Hi all. Im fairly new to the list. I have a 9/71 RHD Aussie Spec 240z. It has no compliance plate which disagrees with the Feb 71 cut off for plate installation. As far as Im aware there are NO 69 240z cars produced. I know the owner of RHD 004 and he is of the opinion that it is a 70 model. I guess that the sheel may have been made in 69, but by the time the engine went in and the car was ready for shipping it was a 70 model year. FWIW mine is 1282 and has been narrowed down to Sep 71 due to the lack of compliance plate, comparison of engine numbers with LHD cars, E88 head standard (as introduced in Sep 71). It has a hand throttle, these never made it to the 72 year. Also FWIW the hand throttle is very rare in the USA, only the very early cars had them. I have been told on good authority that they were available for sale over the Nissan parts counter. I hope this clears a few things up. If the seller of that advertised "69' 240z in Melbourne does in fact have something from Nissan to say it is a 69, the s### is really going to hit the fan. Please let us know if this turns out to be the case. Regarding the non-original L26 in this car, this would definately put the car at below $10k IMO, even if it is in good condition. Having a non-original donk is a worry as far as collector car status goes. I searched for about 5 years to find my car with the original L24 in it.
