What’s the difference between a 1973 and 1974 Datsun 260Z?

That means that the big-bumper 1974½ 260Z was a full foot longer than the 1973 240Z, and all of it at the ends. These later bumpers also saw the turn signals move from beneath the bumper to inside the narrow grille slit; the later 280Z continued with these battering rams.

What kind of engine does a Nissan 260Z have?

Nissan’s L-series engine grew to 2.6 liters (stroked from 73mm to 79mm; the 83mm bore remained), and the exhaust valves grew a fraction, but power still dropped to 139hp, and the power peak dove to 5,200 rpm (though redline remains 6,000), thanks to retuning for emissions controls (EGR and air pump, but no catalytic converter) and unleaded fuel.

Is the Datsun 260Z a two seat sports car?

The 240 was the original, and arguably one of the most popular two-seat sports cars on its arrival, the 280 added fuel injection, the ZX introduced turbo power, the 1990 300ZX offered a whopping 300 horses on tap, and the current generation is seen as a back-to-basics return of a legend.

Where to look for rust on a Datsun 260Z?

The first spot to look for rust is under the battery–the factory-equipped plastic tray and drain tube are frequently missing, which leads to rot beneath the battery. (“If this area is clean,” says Heckendorf, “chances are everything else will be too.”) Otherwise, check the rockers and wheelwells–even on California cars.
