Hi could anyone tell me if the rear window from a 1986 300zx 2 seater will fit on a 1988 300zx 2+2??? My 88's broken rear window sucks. I found a 86 parts car I need to swap it for the vehicle to be safetied. I don't want to buy the 86 if its not compatible...

Let me know asap!!!!

Thanks!

Yup, no way jose. That is actually the very quick way to tell a 2+2 from a 2 seater, the 2 seater is completely a triangle while the 2+2 has a flat top.

All 2 seater hatches will interchange with each other. All 4 seater hatches will interchange with each other. The 84 and 85 hatch had no 3rd brake light. The 86 hatch had a 3rd brake light built into the spoiler. the 87-89 hatch had the 3rd brake light built into the top trim piece with the window sprayer. You cannot use a 4 seater hatch on a 2 seater. You cannot use a 2 seater hatch on a 4 seater. The other differences lie in the spoilers. The 86 spoiler is unique in that it has the 3rd brake light built into it. Nissan wanted people to be able to change the bulbs in the brake light without having to remove the spoiler. Because of this, there is a hole in the trunk lid to allow easy access to the bulbs. Because of the third brake light and this hole, the spoiler is a different shape than the other years. It also uses it's own rear wiper arm.
I thought that was pretty clear.
