   Me and my dad are looking to install racing harnesses in our stock 1973 240z. We do not want to have to drill any holes or install any roll cages. Is this possible?? It looks like the cargo tie downs in the back could be used but I have no idea. Thanks in advance.

   OK guys, if any of you who have always wanted a "REAL" track car but just couldn't get around to it, here is your chance. I have time to build. 240z through 280zx preferred. You can provide the core, or I will provide. Billing to be on a cost plus basis so you can determine how much of the good stuff you want. I can build from mild to wild, NA from 195 to 350 hp. PM or respond if interested Greg Ira

   Road Racing Suspension Set Up

   I was wondering if anyone could lend a hand with some road racing knowledge. I am getting ready to race a 76 280z. Do I stick with the stock front suspension settings or does anyone know what a good baseline race setting would be ie: caster/camber, toe-in toe-out. Any info would be very appreciated. Thanks

    What kind of wheels do you guys run on your Z? I have a 1972 240Z with stock 14' mag wheels, it has toyo R888 tires size 225- 50- 14. I'm told It's a road race car that was raced at Thunderhill. My fenders are flared and I'd like to go with a wider tire in the rear. Any suggestions on wheel brand, size etc?
