Interesting, I would think more people would have the same issue you are having and complain to the vendor. I got mine at a swap meet from an ex Nissan mechanic who had 3 screw carb set as well. All 72 stuff. Mine did not come in a box, just a clear plastic bag, No Nissan printing.

Mine only has the stamp on one side and different numbers. and it has the hamburger.

It looks like you have the correct air box for a 72. Most assuredly not the 73 box. I bought some 3 screw '72 carbs at a swap meet and they came with a factory air filter. It only has a "04810" and the hamburger on it. It looks like the 800-627 The one I have measures at 1 15/16" ish I see the difference in the ZCD ones now, The 800-985 is aftermarket, and the 800-627 is Nissan. Does your filter have the OEM stamps on it like the bottom one in my ^^ post above? I don't see them in your pic's.

Also interesting is you look to have purchased your filter from Zcardepot. with the 800-627 sticker on the end. They list that one and a 800-985 as both the same fitment and sizes listed, but the price is different. Makes me wonder if they mixed up some stock at some point.

Different part numbers for those years, I would guess the 73-74 is wider.

I sent a reply.

There is a Gold set on eBay right now. I don't know why these peeps think everything was gold. "I Love Gollllld" I have a few loose ones, A blue one.. . An Orange one... And one only a mother could love.....

Looks like both pieces are in there. I bet the copper wire in there is worth more than both little bits you are after. I looked at Stamps.com but did not care for their terms of service. I'll just stick with the Post Office.

I have a few that don't work as is. Like Mart asked if you just need a part from one it is cheaper to ship.

No just trimmed it a little around the bracket, The hatch is closed most of the time anyhow. I have not had any issues It is a little tight around the hinges too.

A lot of it depends on what YOU want out of the car. Nissan paired the 5 speeds with 3:90 gears for the most part. it is a good combo. I went with 3:70 and a ZX "close" ratio myself but that was my choice. The different 5 speeds have different 5th ratio's too.

Automatics were 3:54 with the 4 speed being 3:36 Most 5 speeds had the 3:90 but in a R200 diff. Other ratios are available as well.

I installed the Kia seal in my hatch area, works great. I went with option 2.

I seem to remember those small plastic squares were used on a number of locations for a ZX. Side markers, dash trim, etc.

R200 is wider and more round. R180 is more rectangular.

Odd, I don't see the lower part on eBay at all. Lots of the upper striker and dove tails but not the popper part. I have some used ones if you are interested.

It looks like I have one that might suit your needs, no dings but needs polishing. The issue I see with it is getting it shipped to you. I would have to make some sort of box. It would likely end up dimensional weight too. $$

I do have some, I'll have to scrutinize to see if they meet the ZCON condition.

I sent the link to a Seattle friend who had mentioned he was looking for door cards. He ended up buying these for $600.

These just popped up on the local CL. $800 https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/pts/d/renton-nos-datsun-240z-door-panels/7775534769.html

Even the E41 balance tube (euro) had those same two ports.

I agree with @Yarb the T3 spacers fit between the hub and the rotor. Thereby spacing the rotor back in to the car. This will move the caliper back to the spot where it will clear the strut housing bracket. Do install the correct pads too.

Steve sells a kit for the mechanism. https://www.240zrubberparts.com/product-page/240z-lock-mechanism-set

I just run the +8 on solid rotors and have had no issues. I guess I must not drive hard enough to have brake fade, I still have fun though. As Zed said, brakes are not one of those items you want to have hacked together.
