Added part that i am looking for.

Cant find the door hinge springs.  Anyone know where I can find them or if a similar part for another vehicle other than 240, 260 or 280z will work?

What year door springs?

I have a 1973 firewall section that has the door hinges on it.  Give me a day to take a picture when Mr. Sun comes back to my side of the earth...

wal280z, the car is a 11/69 build date, so I guess 1970 would be the year.  But from what i understand, the the majority of the components are the same thru 78 except for the plate that attaches to to car.   All I need is the springs.

If you have them and wanna part, let me know how much (shipping included ) and how to pay via a PM.  I can do paypal to an email or something else. Thanks.

If your car is this early, you probably have the early style hinges. You need to post up a picture. They were very different

This might help your door hinge part search - http://www.carpartsmanual.com/datsuns30/Datsun-Z-Index/Body-240Z/Door-Panel-Glass-Hinge

And it's pretty sure that you mean ammeter, not volt gauge, if it's the same car.  You'll probably want to match fonts on that part.  Nissan liked to change them.  Good luck.

[240z70]

Thanks Zedhead.  I checked the link but no cigar.  It was worth a try.  As far as the meter, it is the volt gauge that I am looking for.   Looking to do a new combo gauge with volt gauge and temp and replace the clock.  the temp will be for intake air temp.

@240z70

I apologize, I do not have the hinges or springs.

You will be searching for a volt gauge from a 1976 model ONLY. In 1977/78, Nissan changed the font of the lettering of the gauges.

 

edit: see the difference in the fonts in this thread.

They are, indeed.  Perhaps someone can post some pictures and, in doing so, clear up a few little mysteries for me:

• The pictures that I have of the door jamb details for early-year Z's indicate that it's the lower door hinge that's different, compared to the later-year Z's.  However, the online parts manual that I use ('Old Car Parts Manual') shows that the lower hinge never changed, while the upper hinge did (in mid-1972).  Comments?
   
• I have read somewhere that the hinges fitted to early-year Z's had no detents and swung freely.  Is this true, or was there actually a detent for the fully-opened position?
   
• Was there ever a period of production where the updated hinge design was fitted to the driver's side only?

[Patcon]

I believe both sides were always the same

The older style had a lighter gauge spring and some scissors style Iinks. If they ever got difficult to close, when forced the links would fold up and destroy the hinge.

I believe the spring acted as the hold open without an actual detent

Throttle lever? The linkage under the hood?

No, not the linkage under the hood but the lever on the console that controls the RPM...Like a suicide lever since it acts like a cruise control but without any way to lower the rpm unless you move the lever or shut off the engine.....very hand but not for cruise control.....LOL.....it came on very early z but mine is missing it.
