Probably a dumb question, but I have a set of aluminum wheels I am selling and want to confirm if there is any offset on them. Is there something stamped on the wheel to tell, or is there a way to measure it? Thanks!

I'm about half way through the 5-speed/4.11 R180 swap. The tranny is in, and so is the rear differential and driveshaft. Just waiting on my new rear control arm bushings to finish up. My question is about the correct tightening torque for the side flange bolt on the differential. The FSM says 13.7 - 18.8/ft. lbs. (which seems low to me, but I obviously tend to believe the FSM) and the Haynes manual, that says 50/ft. lbs. Can someone confirm the correct torque setting. BTW, I'm not sure what my R180 came out of, I bought it from a guy who'd owned it for a long time, but I assume the torque setting is the same for all R180's. Thanks as usual for the help.

Hello everyone, I went to drive my '72 240Z today for the first time in a couple weeks and I found out quite unexpectedly that the driver's door is now flying open when I make a turn to the right. If I'm careful when I make the turn it won't fly open, but whatever is supposed to latch the door is not holding it. I can shut the door and then push on it from the inside and it opens right up. I took a look at that door and compared it to the passenger door and when you rotate the round thing in there, the passenger door one will click twice and won't move unless you lift the latch. The driver's door gives a much fainter click and you can move it with your fingers without lif…

Anyone have any advice on getting the exhaust and intake manifolds off. I have read some of the other threads and they were helpful but any additional info would be appreciated. I am looking for process pics and diagrams as it is difficult for me to see what needs to be taken off. I am halfway there but stuck on the heat shield which has rusted out bolt heads so I cannot get a socket to spin them. Help please!

I am having trouble finding a partial floor pan for my 10/72 240z. The only rust in the car is in the footwell area on the passenger's side. I only need a piece to repair this localized area of rust. I'll make my own before I pay 300$ US for the whole thing. I just hope someone knows where I can find a partial. Scraping off the pan was a real good time. Thanks in advance; Ted.

I bought a 72 240z over the summer from my friend who had it parked for a couple of years after breaking his engine. The engine is out of the car and I have a 280z sitting on an engine mount on the side of the house that I plan to put in the car. Since the engine has been sitting for a couple months I noticed an oil leak so I plan to do some maintenance on it before I attempt to put it into the car. When I picked up the engine the guy I purchased it from said it came out of a 95 280z with 55K miles. He was swapping in a V8. Does anyone have any good suggestions on what service work I should do on the engine while I have it up on the stand? Also, the original engine had a …

So I have a 71 240 and am doing the R200 Differential Swap. Fun stuff. I have the newer curved Moustach bar with the bushings facing forward. The question I have is do I need to turn the Diff Mount around to get the extra length so the cross member will line up? Also what is the little weather van thing attached to the top of the cross member.

I am having leaking issues from the rear seal of my trannny and need to drop it to replace the rear (and probably the front) seal. Would rather put it in the hands of someone more capable than myself to handle the work. Any recommendations on a good, local repair shop? Gary at Spanky's, who did a lot of engine work for me in the past, has moved to TX. Suggestions?! Thanks!
