February 27, 201114 yr comment_347633 Remember that the period being discussed is early-mid 70s. The last few you posted seem to be from a little later era.

February 28, 201114 yr comment_347639 Does it require that the wheels and tyres remain on the car all the time after it is certified period correct?IYHO; If possible, get steel wheels and correct wheel covers per sales brochure from Nissan Canada, get certified and put on what you really want for most driving reserving the others for the concourse show or periodic inspections.

February 28, 201114 yr comment_347658 OMG... Cragar Super Sports??? Really? Really... Yup, they made 'em in a 4 lug bolt pattern. In 13 inch diameter for Pintos and Vegas. Bleedin' unreal. Sometimes it's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to post and remove all doubt. Cheers, ScottGrowing up in the rust belt, where American muscle cars were the only "sports" cars around at the time, the Cragar Super Sports are just about the only wheels I associate with that era.I remember the occasional "slot mag", but it seemed the Cragars were the popular wheel around here.

February 28, 201114 yr comment_347698 Plenty of nice wheels posted here.Why create a problem for yourself if there is a concern about this matter? It should be no problem to prove that the 260Z came out with a Nissan alloy rim - or at least it did in some markets. Why not have it inspected with a genuine item and then put whatever you want on the car afterwards?Either that or follow Yorgo's suggestion.

February 28, 201114 yr comment_347703 I may know one of the people in ''charge'' of the verification process for collector plates here in B.C. Good luck ! I've seen older collector plated vehicles that in no way would pass today ! Paint put on with a roller , tinted windows, big stereos ...... I guess unless there's a reverification necessary to check for compliance , these cars keep getting grandfathered in . Today this new ''committee " will check everything and you will fail . Even if you may have proof of period correct mods , you will fail .

February 28, 201114 yr comment_347707 Sounds like a fun process. :sick: And what's wrong with rolled-on paint? They didn't have rollers in the 70's?
