240260280 Posted August 31, 2019 Share #6 Posted August 31, 2019 Have a look at what Alan @HS30-Hposted in the past ? Very interesting stuff! https://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/236658-1969-nissan-s20-twin-cam-engine-rebuild-7.html#post3352097 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartsscooterservice Posted September 2, 2019 Author Share #7 Posted September 2, 2019 I did read the info you guys gave me. Some say they came from the factory with it and many say they don't and it was just a dealer option ? And the 240Z and later 260/280Z have different splash pans ? I just want to know if they came from the factory with that splash pan ( 240Z ) ? if not, then I don't want it either... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the dutch/euro version of the 240z came with the stone guard.. They lasted not very long in our weather…. and were thrown away. My very Original 280zx 1979 has one to! (still in my cellar/parts shop hahaha… I got an Original stone guard plate for you if you want one ….. so you can now get a supporter of my restoration ?

Hi , I don’t know much of it , as far as I understand is Fairlady-Z ( Japanese model ) series always have it . Not an optional item , it is a mandatory item for Fairlady-Z series even 240ZG . For export model , I don’t know. But except very early prototype used as an example for the service manual and 1973 model year car ( maybe at or later Aug 1972 ) in the US , they don’t have it . Please note the early one does not have holes like you see them on later one shown in the picture . Kats 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteunseen Posted September 2, 2019 Share #10 Posted September 2, 2019 My 69,??? vin 1972 did not have one. My '77 has one. I want one for my 240 though as they seal up a little better the engine bay, pulling most of the air through the radiator. I think it would run cooler with one. My opinion only...

Popular Post Zup Posted September 2, 2019 Popular Post Share #11 Posted September 2, 2019 The splash pan may help with engine compartment temperatures, but I can testify from personal experience in Zilver that it helps keep the front end from floating at high speed. I believe it helps reduce turbulence (engine and firewall) in the front which results in decreased up-lift. Once the pan was installed, at speeds of 100+ steering became much more stabile. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
