What Interior?

I would like to know what kind of carpet i should use on my 1971 240z.

If you are trying for something similar to the original, then you would be looking for a 5-piece kit, looped (not cut) carpet. Brian Rolfe at Seatz Mfg. has resto quality products for your interior, prices are typically no higher than MSA, BD, or others.

Hold the phone just a touch. Like many things in the S30 world, the carpet choice is not that cut and dried.

Some '71 models in the US did come from the factory with cut pile carpets. I know, as my car was one of them. I still have the original (worn and faded) carpets safely stored away. My best guess is that as Nissan ramped up the production lat in '71 they had to augment there normal carpet supplier to keep up. My car is 7/71 build, so others in that range could also have come with cut pile as well.

My 71 mfg. 3/71 also had cut pile carpet
