na, i'll just get some centerlines or welds made up with the correct offset and bolt pattern but i'll go 17" for tire availability. gotta put Z's on my Z!

Question I have now is, Would a Ford oil Filter be any Better?

Thats a can of worms there There are some that will say no other's that say yes. But you can use the ford part # cross it over to your choice on brand. IMO it just makes life easy knowing the ford filter will always be on the shelf. VS asking for a Datsun part and hope they have it in stock.

carguyinok,

Is that the FL1-A Motorcraft filter you are referring to? If so, there is comfort in knowing you will always be able to get one and I believe they have an anti-drainback valve built in as well.

I am not sure, it has been along time since I have been in to get one. It's been over 2 years so.... But that's when I found this out. I was in Autozone looking up parts and found the crossref. on oilfilters. I looked up the number for the Z then used the crossover book and found the ford part#. At that time they had bolth on the shelf. So I put them side by side and there twins.

Hey clutchdust, check out the wheel adapters from Ross Corrigan at www.modern-motorsports.com

Every time I see some cheesey honda with really great looking rims I think of these adapters. I mean rims that would look really great on a Z.:devious:
