   I just got a 1971 240 and was looking at the engine and noticed that it had the air injection system that was not hooked up. Is this standard on a Federal or California 71?

   Nissan Racing 1 2

   I've finally got a hold of this old game called "The Real Car Simulator - Nissan Edition". It has a whole bunch of Skylines and Silvias and 300ZX's... and its got a couple of nice bonus cars too - one being a Z432 Fairlady. Anyway, it's a pretty decent game based on the same graphics engine as Gran Turismo 2 and the whole game is only 8 MB. Too bad it's very hard to find in any computer game store... I've never seen it in any shop. Anyway, I can post a screenshot if you'd like... it's quite a trivial yet fun feeling thrashing a Z with a clear concious

   Hey, I was just wondering the bolt pattern and offset for my 70 240z. I want 17's, would i need a 40 or 45 profile tire? also, i know 205's will fit, but I was thinking like 205 up front 225 in back. 7.5" rims. What offset, and what will fit? Thanks.

   Does anybody have wheels like these? Or 14x7 wheels in general? They're on their way to me, and I want to order tires, but I'm not sure if I want to go 205/70-14, 205/60-14 (big difference in overall diameter) ... maybe a 215/60-14 ?

    1970 240z, it it worth it?

    Hi all, I have a chance to buy a one owner 1970 240z for $600. It has some minor rearend damage and the front wheel bearings are frozen. It has a small amount or rust but is in generaly sound condition. I have priced the parts I think it will need and added some extra and I figure it will cost $11000 to restore. I guess my question is would this be worth the time and expense?

    I just picked up a 72 240z yesterday. I will try to get some pictures posted. I do have a question. There is a box on the inner fender well that has a the speedo cable connected to it then to the speedo. It also has a vacume line connected to it. The care is in good shape with nice floors and a clean paint job. It will be a great daily driver.

    I am picking up a 240Z in a week and have ordered the parts CD and would like to know what you consider the best repair manual that you have used. I have one for my 620 Pick-Up and it could be better. Thanks
