PLEASE don't shot me down, i am new to this.

would a 1980 datsun 280zx 2+2 rear hatch fit a 1978 datsun 260z.

No. They are completely different. Any hatch from a non-2+2 S30 would work, though you would want to avoid one with hatch vents.

thanks for the very quick reply. and for not shooting me down in flames.

We usually allow one numpty question, then we get out the flame throwers.

1 question per each member is allowed. Thats all.

Small point! Ther is NO "1978 Datsun 260Z"! The 260Z was only made for 1 year which was 1974 and in 1975 the 280Z was the one!

The S30 was a true world platform. You have to take-off your red, white & blue glasses when responding to international posts. The OP does not live in North America. Outside of NA the 260Z was available from 1974 to 1978.

Well hell...i stand corrected!

That was the flame.

Yes, but the stripes are in the wrong direction and there are no stars.

But "Union Jack" is a cool name.
