What is the VIN number on a Datsun 240Z?
If the car is a 240Z or 280Z, in the windshield you will see an ID number which starts with “HLS30-“. If the car is a 260Z, you will instead see an ID number which starts with “RLS30-” or “GLRS30-” (for the 2+2 model) in the windshield. You’ll want to make sure this matches up with the VIN plate located on the passenger-side strut tower.
What should I look for in a Datsun 260Z?
The 260Z, being somewhat of a mongrel in terms of features and design, offers either rubber overriders on the same bumpers found on the Series IV 240Z, or full diving-board bumpers (that would carry through the 280Z to the end of S30 production).
