I know the drill... I have A/C too.

Got my dunlop 205/55-15, they don't look very big!  Also if anyone has ever had to change the heater core hoses, knows my pain, that sucked.  But almost all rubber hoses are replaced as of now.  

Will look fine once you get those coil overs dialed.

I got my 205/55 R15s mounted.  They look a little goofy right now (too much side wall), but I bet when they are actually on they will look better.  

I had the 16 inch Panasport rims on my gold 70 for a short while.  Eventually transferred them over to my Yellow Z.  This is what the wheels looked like on the gold car.  I am pretty sure the tires are 205/60 - 16's

....I'm old school I guess..195/70/14 4 lug. I like the tall rubber filling the wheel well. Put new factory spec springs in and ride height is like it was " back then".

Thanks!  The even more amazing thing is that it's 47+ year old paint, bumpers, rubber, etc. She is spoiled and is typically kept in hibernation.

These are old classic cars and look better with some sidewall versus really low profile tires. Just my opinion...

Well the wilwood 1" MC fits and the stock air cleaner can barely I mean barely can come on and off.  You have to move the the bleeders to the other sides.  I also set the pushrod around 8mm longer then stock, I ended up measuring the depth of stock and going off of that, this is because the wilwood is deeper.   Now I just need to bend new lines and it should be ready.  I got the unit off of california datsun, came setup for the z with fittings and drilled out.  

I am switching all stock hoses out, all look pretty good but are brittle or cracked.  I decided against braided, partly because all I found said they won't work with ethanol and partly because I don't want the braids trapping dirt and grease.  I got all but the larger diameter installed (close to 5/8).  The 5/8th I got was a strangely large OD.  So it wouldn't work.  Found one online that will though. Routing them was a pain.  Going with all hoses rated for ethanol.

The evap tank is crazy design.  Also replaced all the grommets.  I am so happy with the level of rust on this Z.  This area sure looks amazing.  

Since I have a series 1 the brake lines are reversed on the wilwood MC.  So I had to buy lines and bend them.  What a pain, they don't look great, but I was about to throw them in the garbage when I finally figured it out. I also removed some over spray and also cleaned up some wiring around the coil.  Also got my fake wats star wars rogue squadron hub cap centers! Dorky, but I love them.  

 

Broke off the exhaust studs, tried welding to them, but my welds just break.  I think my two options are either remove the manifold or drill and tap, if I can get them drilled out easily.  

Is that a LED shop light you're using in that last pic? That's a really weird effect. Those multiple hard edged shadows give me a headache!

Help meeeeee.... Please hellllp meeee!!
