15 inch tires

I have a set of the original 15x7 american mags but need to purchase tires for them... I have a 1972 240Z and would like to know what size of tires I can safely put on without rubbing the fenders? Do not want a real agressive race tire but want it to look really good... Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Ken Mikkelson new to the forum.

1971 z wiper problem

The wipers on my 71 240z do not work, neirher does the washer. I got a new motor but it will not work either. Checked the fuse in the fuse box under the center console and the fuse is good. Are there fuses anywhere else? How can I check the switch on the steering column.

Horn Button DATSUN label printed

I had a horn button but no badge on it with the word "DATSUN" so I selected a font similar to a real badge and resized it to print at the right diameter to tape to the horn button. See below the asterisks for another print option using a scan of a real badge that I obtained after I originally wrote this. Continuing here, the font selection came out okay, see attached picture of result and the file I printed the word "DATSUN" with. Printing the label on photo paper if your printer supports t

I'm the new guy around here. My son and I recently purchased a 73 240. all orig. except for 1 door or latch. Tires maybe the exhaust. We need help with the carbs.

What distributor do I have?

My 1971 240Z had a Jacobs Energy Pak in it when I bought it. A couple of days ago, it died and wouldn't start. Apparently the switch for "Computer" or "Conv Ign" has lived it's full life; there are 3 large cracks in the top of the switch and it kind of crunches when switching from one position to the other. Anyway, I decided to remove the Jacobs and install a Petronix or something. While doing this. I discovered that my L24 does not have the stock distributor. It has a D6K82-01, which I believ

Z clubs in San Francisco Bay area

I'm trying to find Z clubs in San Jose or the San Francisco Bay area. I see on some websites that there is supposedly two clubs of interest, a Northern California club using the web address www.zonc.org and a San Jose club using the web address clubz.org, but neither of these web addresses are currently being used by Z clubs. Does anyone know of current contact info for San Jose or San Francisco area Z clubs?

Moved

Been a long time between posts, due somewhat to relocating to Kansas City, MO for a job transfer. Miss Key West, but KC is nice, and most of my family are here. I can also afford suitable housing, with lots of garage space, making it easier to work on the car and store parts. I just noticed it has been two years since I got the paint done. I had a few initial problems with the paint, but once those were fixed, it has held up great for two years now. I just removed the gas tank to solve a le
