database or schematics of manufacturer's part number

[GeesZees]

Hi there, i just got a lot of 240z 260z 280z 280zx 280zxt and 300zxt parts and a few cars to restore.

I am new to Datsun and would like to know if there is a database or schematics of manufacturer's part numbers available on the internet or in paper form.

Lots of parts but no clue what they are, at least most electronic parts have numbers, but which car do they belong to ? Having a reference list would help me a whole lot.

Thanks in advance

Sure, you can get the original dealer microfiche on CD. We have the exclusive on it. Go check it out on our Zcar Club Store.

It's the best investment you can get for such a fine car.

Unfortunately there is no "database" where you can look up a P/N to see where it goes (unless the dealerships can do that - anyone know?) Probably because normally people work the other way around - they need a part so the look up the number in the drawings. It's a little more rare to be in your position where you have parts and numbers but don't know what they are. But in any case, the CD could help because you could at least get to the general area in the drawing and find the P/N, or try to find it in the pictures. Note that it only covers the '70-'78 HLS30 Z's, none of the ZX's. Good luck

Also, some part numbers have been discontinued (and/or supercede to another number) that may or may not be shown on the microfiche. This isn't a problem when you are looking for a part number, but when looking to find the application for a given P/N it may make it more difficult to confirm the application.
