Can I run 225/50 or 40/15's on my 71'Z? Also what rim offset do I need?

I just upgraded my 73 Z with dual points to a single point pertronix type electronic dizzy.One thing i need now is the coil. It runs good but the coil I feel makes the system complete. I have heard that the MSD blaster II coil would be a good one for my setup. Anyone have any input on a different one? Let me know what u have done and your thoughts. Thanks suntadz

Hi gang- Came across this 73 yesterday and just had a look at it. It's pretty nice looking on the outside, repainted over lime green. I've attached some picts of the underside. Specifically the twin I-Beams that have some rust. I guess my question is for the right price say $1500 or less is this worth looking at? The rust worries me and part of me says just turn and walk away as these are the main structural areas with damage. Any feedback would be great.

I have an extra lever next to my choke(it's not connected).Is this the hand throttle?If it is ,is that some kind of cruise control?

Hi, I haven't checked out this forum before -- been spending time on ZCAR.com and some other sites. For anyone interested in the 350Z, especially if you pre-ordered one, I want to let you know about a site I created: the 350Z Pre-Order Survey. I figured since a lot of people have been asking "who else ordered a Le Mans Sunset Track model?" or "how many 350Z people live near Albequerque?", etc., I would create this site to gather some basic stats and percentages of who ordered what and where. Please check it out: http://www.brackethead.com/350Zsurvey/ The current results are for 180 people, and that number has already grown since I updated the results last week. Let me kno…

This is gonna be cool... Well, here I go again it seems...anyone ever seen "The Blues Brothers" where they're on a mission from God? Well, Im on a mission from the Z Gods...haha... I have located a repulsively crusty '76 2+2 in all its metallic green and mold colored glory sitting in the dirt driveway of a truckers trailer home. Oh man, this is gonna be great. Another money pit--I dont know why Im so excited here!!! Its been sitting for 10 years, accumulated enough filth on it to grow a garden, yet its all original minus the basket wire wheels and dry rotted tires. Every last emblem, interior, motor piece you name it...still there. Oh boy, oh boy! Ive been assured …

Hey Everyone! After 5yrs restoration work and 5mo on the road without blowing another head gasket a bad motorcycle misshap w/an 86 Chrysler NYer's front end took the life of my baby (...a mint 74 Honda CB750FourK4 o.b. to an 863cc w/a full factory race conversion minus the body work *sniff sniff*). Now after the reconstruction of most of the bones in my right arm and +/-1.5yrs of rehab in which I learned how to write and more importantly how to shift again, I've decided to get back to the road. This time on 4 wheels! So I went straight for the original Japaneese muscle car... a 68 Toyota 2000GT j/k! 1973 Datsun 240z- -$5000usd -4speed manu -Engine rebuilt by Niss…
