Finally got some new wheels for the Z. They're the xxr 513's in 15 x 8 with 0 offset. I'm running 1 inch spacers in the front and 1.5" in the rear to fill up the flares a little more. The tires are Falken ZE-502's in 205/50 R15. I have the Tokico 5020 (5220?) front springs that lower it about an inch.

Ok - what am I missing here? The standard bolt pattern on the 1973 240Z is 4 - 4.5 (114.3mm) - but the rotors in all the places I've looked show a bolt circle of 4 - 103mm. Do they measure the pattern differently on a rotor than they do on a wheel? I do not want to order rotors and have them not fit. Any info would be appreciated!

I've looked every where and these things seem to be made of *Unabtanium* The Previous Owner of My New (to me) Green 12/71' 240Z BROKE the bleeders off the rear wheel brake cylinders. I actually found Stress cracks in the blocks from the bleeders being tightened too damn Hard. I can't even drill them out and seem to be screwed at this point...... If you have a spare set of the PRE-6/72 Rear Wheel Cylinders, PLEASE let me know what you'd like for them, if you'd like a Headlight Upgrade Harness for them or what. The car is in the air and stuck there till I get these situated. So Please look around your parts and see if you have a set of Left and Right early 72' brake Cyl…

My passenger side rear brake seized yesterday and I can't figure out the cause. It seized up after sitting overnight with the parking brake on. I took off the parking brake cable and this did not help. I then hit the drum a couple of times with a rubber mallet and I was able to pry the drum off of the shoes. All looks normal inside. The shoes move freely and they are well lubed. I spun the adjuster wheel a couple of times and put the system back together and now the car stops, goes and the parking brake works. What could have caused this? I took that brake cylinder apart a couple of thousand miles ago to check the condition of the piston and bore. It looked goo…

Hello everyone... I am a newbie and this is my first post. Basically I bought slotted mags for my 240. I had bought some before, but they were 13'' and i wanted to stick with the 14''. So the other day, my father borrowed my Z and he ran over a screw and got a flat tire. I had to replace the tires anyway, so i got the slot mags and caps, along with good tires. I was all excited because I have not driven it in a week and i thought I'd be driving it to work tomorrow. So I got the tire off and found out the bolts/studs were too short!! :stupid: I was wondering if anyone knows how I can fix it and if about how much it will cost ( I get paid tomorrow, but I borrowed money to …

Ok so I am having trouble locating rims that fit my 1973 Datsun 240Z. I am looking for some original replicas or some nice modern styles to compare and see what looks best. Does anyone know a website to go to?

Thought I'd pass along my brake and bearing story, hoping it helps someone else out. I had two different problems I was trying to solve. First, I had a front end shimmy that I could feel in the wheel, especially at highway speeds when going around a curve. Second, I had pulsating in the brake pedal when applying the brakes that was an obvious rotor problem. I also had recently developed a random pull to the left or right when applying the brakes. I had already balanced the wheels and replaced the springs, struts and bushings, which really helped the shimmy, but didn't cure it. I attributed the random pull to my calipers being 25 years old, according to how they loo…

Just got A set of 513s XXR and need tires for them. I would Have got the tire rim package but I'm debating on 205s or 215s. The shop owner said 205/50/r16 would fit perfect but 215/50/r16 can also fit. He didn't know how much would 215 affect the ride.if anyone has an idea, recomend, or thoughts let me know. To tell u the truth I really like 215s( if they fit).

XXR Wheel has a new design (XXR 513) that bolts on directly to S30 Z! 15" or 16" x8", 0 offset. So now they have models 002 & 513. Nice to see companies are still making wheels for our cars. Possible vendor: http://www.nlmotoring.com/XXR-513-Wheels-15x8-Gun-Metal-p/51358089.htm
