240260280 Posted February 16, 2019 Share #1 Posted February 16, 2019 My buddy's 73 has two holes that go through the floor back near the outside seat belt anchors. Is this a "feature"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DatsunZGuy Posted February 16, 2019 Share #3 Posted February 16, 2019 Those are drain holes. You will also find a couple in the front foot wells, too. Just be sure they have rubber plugs in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zup Posted February 16, 2019 Share #6 Posted February 16, 2019 @240260280z This photo of my 7/70 240z shows what appears to be the same "feature"? No idea of what would be the reason for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted February 16, 2019 Share #7 Posted February 16, 2019 Maybe you can pick up something off this recent bat listing of a 73 that appears quite original. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1973-datsun-240z-84/ Nice hammer price too.

Mark Maras Posted February 16, 2019 Share #8 Posted February 16, 2019 Might be a good question for Matsuo San. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DatsunZGuy Posted February 16, 2019 Share #10 Posted February 16, 2019 Oh, those holes. I wonder if those holes were used as an anchor point to affix the chassis on an assembly line jig. This is purely speculation on my part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grannyknot Posted February 17, 2019 Share #11 Posted February 17, 2019 Well they are still in the design in 77, so yeah maybe some kind of locater pin went through them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240260280 Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share #12 Posted February 17, 2019 I guess there are plugs on each side or is the underside a drain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
