Z original tools?


260z

Recommended Posts


The tool kits that came standard included a jack, jack handle, lug wrench, and tire stoppers (wheel chocks). the wrench and jack handle came in a black vinyl plastic bag. Part numbers for these items vary, noting changes in tool design - up to 4/70, 5/70 to 7/73, and 8/73 on. My part information is limited to 12/73 however, you may find other listings in the parts fiche such as the one sold on this site.

Optional tools could be purchased separately and include: 5 piece spanner set, pliers, a metal boxed socket set, set of screw drivers, tire pressure guage, spark plug wrench and a points polisher / file. My information shows the screw drivers as changeable heads in a plastic pouch.

I am collecting Nissan tools and would be interested in your screw driver. I have spare jacks and vinyl pouches to trade if you wish.

So the basic set includes only jack, stoppers and wrench for tire bolts? Could it be that 260z has more tools in basic tool bag? Maybe they have added the screwdriver and some other stuff as standard?

Is the jack similar/identical in 260z as it is in 240z?

My car is 1974 260Z.

nice set of tools you have got there 26th. those are service tools that the mechanics used to have at nissan dealers and workshops?

I don't know about factory added tools in the 260Z model, but back in the day, my friends and I routinely added a screwdriver, a pair of pliers, and a small adjustable wrench to our 240Z tool pouches. "just in case".

Hey there 260Z,

I have a Nissan parts book dated December 1973 which covers the 240 and the 260 for USA and Canada cars. It shows the standard tools and the optional ones with an OP abbreviation. To the best of my knowledge, the standard tools were just for changing a tire. I believe the jacks are all the same, but I know the jack handles are different and I do not have the one illustrated in the book. I don't have a scanner, either, or I would scan this page for you. I'll work on it.

The tool boxes in the chassis changed, as you know, and I'm not real sure how the tools fit in the later boxes. I have clips on the floor of the chassis for the jack and wheel chocks, just behind the seats with the little plastic covers. Your car probably has the boxes with lids in the rear deck?

Your screw driver is different from the set shown in the parts catalog also. Not surprising though. Does your screw driver have a part number? From my book the set of drivers should be 99530-E4100. Does the shaft detach from the handle? Now the E4100 usually designates the early parts for the series one 240 - and that number could be suspect.

In addition to all that junk you see in the picture, I have a head bolt Allen driver and a valve adjustment wrench. The black box in the background is a Nissan factory service tool box and needs to be restored to the original silver-grey color. Here are a few factory service tools and the page from the parts catalog describing them. That three-prong thing is the very usefull automatic transmission clutch spring compressor.

Show and tell is so much fun!!!

Since we're doing 'show and tell', my 78 has the list in the attachment in the tool bag as well as the 4 lug nuts in a plastic bag that says 'CAUTION If your car is equipped with aluminum wheels, be sure to use the lug nuts in this bag for mounting Space Saver Spare Tire.' It has the NISSAN MOTOR with the logo between the words and on the other side I believe it says the same thing in kanji.

Hey All

I have a complete tool kit that came standard with the 260z model complete in the bag with the checklist printed in both english and japanese markings to describe the tools.

If you would like I will arrange a scan of the checklist and post it to the site.

The 240z came with the standard wheel changing necessities as the tool kit whereas the 260z had screw drivers, pliers, spanners etc.

Regards

Joseph

Hello 26th.

Yes I have the boxes in chassis with metal lid.

Your screw driver is different from the set shown in the parts catalog also. Not surprising though. Does your screw driver have a part number? From my book the set of drivers should be 99530-E4100. Does the shaft detach from the handle? Now the E4100 usually designates the early parts for the series one 240 - and that number could be suspect.

No the shaft is solid. It does not have normal and philips head if that is what you mean? And I cant find a parts number on it.

It could be that the set came out of some other nissan car?

I am sure that all those original tools that you've got there makes the job so much easier:)
