Vented Service Doors

[Weasel73240Z]

I saw this set of ventilated service doors for sale on eBay. I'm wondering if these are a factory option? I've never seen them before so I assume somebody fabricated them but they look really well made. Considering the occasional under-hood heat issues, they may be a good idea.

Not sure how much air they would flow thru those little grills...but hey...every little bit helps () Looks kind of cool too...

I dont think they are factory (at least not Datsun factory), Motorsport sells them.

I've got them on my car.

You remove your old inspection lids, send them to MSA, and they send you a replacement set. You'll have to sand, prime and paint them yourself.

My advice would be to make sure the fitment was right and that they give you all the pieces (the first set they sent me was missing the latch pieces).

I have a set on my 240 and you can feel the heat coming out the vents.

Those are just stock inspection lids. They fit easily into a louver press. I had a set of them punched by my buddy's shop a few years ago. I thought they looked cheezy and sold them. (JMO)

I plan on doing something similar with mine.

Why? For me, I just didn't like the way they looked on my car although they do look good on yours. Maybe the color makes a difference.

They look ok, but I need to paint my doors this spring as I am going to put different mirrors on the car (the guy that put these on put them waaay forward since they suck to see anything out of). While I am going to have a set of the standard inspection door covers painted at the same time. I have the standard ones on the Lime Z, and just prefer the look of them to these :classic: If I ever want to go back to these, I'll still have them in the parts pile!
