Dr. Wombat Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share #13 Posted April 8, 2012 I can get pic, but not sure how much it would help as this seems to be someone's aborted restoration/bumper shave/tweaker project...

Kurbycar32 Posted April 8, 2012 Share #14 Posted April 8, 2012 Door jam date is 12/74.This old make it the late one, correct?Yup. I'm pretty sure the cutoff is 9/74 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/42881-70-745-or-745-xxx/?page=2#findComment-386671 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff G 78 Posted April 8, 2012 Share #15 Posted April 8, 2012 Yep, it's a late 260. My guess is that it's one of the last 260's. Mine was 11/74 and I don't think I have seen a later build date 260.

Dr. Wombat Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share #18 Posted April 10, 2012 set of prothane bushings(full kit) on the way. also ball joints brake booster master cylinder tie rods brake lines fuel pump(leaking) trying to decide on suspension components recommendations welcome; anyone have experience with installing the(or driving) the KPRO coilover kit seems to wind up costing the same for me to do the tokico illumina/spring kit as all my upper mounts will need replacing and ksport replaces all that and has camber plates built in. thoughts? -Dr. W Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/42881-70-745-or-745-xxx/?page=2#findComment-386814 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Wombat Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share #19 Posted April 10, 2012 the whole "cutting/welding required:" bit scares me a little. i have a mig and oxy cutting rig that i feel good about but cannot weld aluminum(tig) and would get boned on that front. cannot find good info on ksport materials... looks to be aluminum, but cant tell.

Kurbycar32 Posted April 10, 2012 Share #20 Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) Im a mediocre welder and was comfortable welding exhaust and new floors. the suspension though.. Id hire a pro for that one. Cost of failure is way too high Edited April 10, 2012 by Kurbycar32 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/42881-70-745-or-745-xxx/?page=2#findComment-386817 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Wombat Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share #21 Posted April 10, 2012 are there any bolt in coilover kits that do not involve mangling the car AND are under $8,000(arizonaZ)?

Dr. Wombat Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share #22 Posted April 11, 2012 can i delete this thread, or does mod do that? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/42881-70-745-or-745-xxx/?page=2#findComment-386865 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff G 78 Posted April 11, 2012 Share #23 Posted April 11, 2012 Just leave it. IMHO threads should be deleted if there are personal attacks or wrong info that can mess up future searches. Neither occurred in this thread. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/42881-70-745-or-745-xxx/?page=2#findComment-386867 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmcguffin Posted April 11, 2012 Share #24 Posted April 11, 2012 12/74....? In the pix above of the white Z the side indentations for the rear bumper would indicate that it is an early 260. According to my Nissan parts fiche those type bumpers were used on 240/260 up to 8/74. My 9/73 has the indentations. This is important, especially when changing/upgrading suspension components as many changes were made for the 9/74 model. Seems like a 12/74 build date would be an early 280 with an HLS VIN number.
