door locks

[sjcurtis]

In my travels I came across a 260z 2+2 at the wrecker1977 compliance. Like a good Practitioner of Z theory I quickly removed the parts I needed and used plastic to secure them before the next practitioner arrived. I scored well. I took my new complete set of door locks with no key to my local locksmith. I requested that he manufacture two keys for this set. he looked at the locks, took the RH lock barrel imput the ident code from the barrel and cut the keys. they worked perfectly. I questioned him about the location of the code he said the right hand barrel was the standard position.

I have one of those chicken and egg questions.

Does a zee have its lock ident codes on the lh lock barrel or the rh lock barrel ?

I take my wooden spoon and stand back.

Hi,

I'm chasing some parts and I was wondering at which wreckers you found this car in brisbane? I'm chasing some fairly common parts so if you know of any 240's or 260's in wreckers that would be great.

The 260z 2+2 is at the Blacksoil motor wreckers on the Towoomba road about 30KM out of town.

How do you chase a car that is wrecked and not moving ?? vary slowly I guess . I do have a real question what years are considered a 260 , here they are 280s , really I was just wondering . An old septic tank

In Australia the 260z (2 seater) coupe came in early 74 followed by the 260z 2+2, (2 seater and some) I am not sure of the in date I think it was late 74, the 260Z (two seater) was phased out here in late 77 and the 260z 2+2 was phased out mid 78. we never officially recieved the 280Z (2 seater) or 280Z 2+2 from NISSAN in Australia. I am not absolutely sure about the dates maybe someone who Knows could help out!!

well you get the idea

hope that helps

I just saw it mentioned earlier and wondered about it. Here in the states the 260 was '74 only and from then untill '78 was a 280.Thanks again Gary
