... except perhaps this one. Completely pulling down the front end of an original `72. Replacing or rebuilding all brake and suspension components on all four corners. The stupid question is this: Is the vaccum err... vacume... vackumn... vacuum-servo rebuildable or should I replace it? Furthermore, does it most likely even need it? Any takers? thanks, 'Fink

My 77 280 is equipped w/ the 4 speed, and I would like to replace it w/ a 5 speed. I live in a semi-rural area and get on the highway to go anywhere... the overdrive would sure be nice. Questions: are there good sources for the transmission? Am I opening a can of worms?

I would like to know what the largest diameter rim with low-profile tires will go on my 77 280Z, WITHOUT toying with the suspension. The vehicle will not be raced... I just want it to look like it. Can the wheel wells be filled w/ an even bigger combo with MINIMAL suspension mods?

I've been reading some of the posts regarding wheel/tire sizes. Before I go shopping for a new set of wheels, can anyone answer these questions: 1. What is the exact bolt configuration on the 1972 240z? 2. Does a larger rim size negatively effect braking? Thanks for the help! -Chris

Guys - My car has a wheel vibration at highway speeds. It sounds like it is coming from the driver side front wheel. My first thought, was that I had a worn wheel bearing or excessive play in there. To try and solve the problem, I have replaced wheel bearings, and made sure I had the correct bearing play, which didn't help. Around town I don't here it, and it is only at 55+ mph it happens, and it doesn't get better at higher speeds. It seems if I were to steer quickly to side to side, the sound stops for a sec. I have since jacked up the car and moved the wheel back and forth checking for tie rod endplay. The thing I found is the passenger's side tierod seems to have muc…

Ok I have a 1973 with stock suspension, and it so needs a complete upgrade. I am all over the road with bumps (exaggerating a little bit). So I want to put in new struts spring and Bushings. Is there anything else I should be doing? and what products would be good to get. I want to get some decent quality stuff but money is an object. So I know of Tokico and KYB but I would really like your guys input on what is good for a good price. I don’t really need adjustable unless it really makes a difference. So if you have any input post it up thanks alot. Paul

Okay- My saga continues in the bushings replacement process. A few questions to throw out there. First, I just did the upper bushings of the rear control arms took it out for a drive and now my rear end squeaks like a new shoe. I saw in a past posting that the bushings should be greased which I did on the inner sleeve but not the outside of the bushing. Did I miss the boat here? I didn't grease the outside as I figured I would collect dirt and debris like a magnet. Second, I did not replace the lower bushings in the rear control arm as they were in pretty good shape. Other factors considered were that they are pretty small bushings and I didn't have the tools to do…

Ok, I just bought this beautiful Nardi steering wheel but cant seem to get the stock wheel off of my 240z. I went and bought a wheel puller but the diameter of whole on the puller is too small to fit on the bolt on the car. I looked at one other puller and it is the same size. Can anyone tell me where to buy a wheel puller that will work on my Z. I am dying to install this Nardi!!

How good is a stock 240 suspension? 1 2

As great as a stock 240 handles, how good is it's suspension? Is it built for performance or just daily driving? Are there any components that an all original owner might consider replacing/updating? By all original I mean restored to original stock.
