I read somewhere that the 73 suspension is different from the earlier 240z. Does anybody know what they changed? I forgot to mention before I have the Eibach 1 inch lowering springs. The darker spring perch picture above is from the rear. Here are some more pictures. If you want a different angle let me know and I can take some more.

I just got my new rims and tires. Hyper Black Rota RB-R 16x8 +10 with Hancook H105 225/50/16 96V XL tires($110 each buy 4 get one free). I have a 73 240z. I went back and forth between the 16x7 and the 16x8 since for every one person that said the 8's would fit there was someone else that said they don't fit. I called 18 racing and they told me the 16x8 +10 would work. The rears fit with no spacers and I probably don't need to roll fenders at all but I probably will before I paint the car. The gap is around 3/16 to 1/4 inch from the tire to the perch. The fronts I read needed a 5mm spacer but I had some 3mm spacers from when I purchased the car so all I did was sand down the spring perch until I hit the spring on the front face of the perch and they fit. There is plenty of room from the fenders. The gap is around 1/8 inch from the tire to the perch. If I could have purchased the 5mm spacers at the tire shop I would have but I improvised. I also just got an alignment done. I was a little scared because I have complete disasembled the car and cut out the frame rails and welded in new 2x2 inch square tubing for the frame rails because the old ones were bent, cracked and there was a lot of rust, then I welded the tension rod mounts back in. I also have the bushing camber adjustments. The caster(tension rod length) was close enough that they did not do anything and the camber was spot on from just me eye balling it. The only thing they changed was the toe which was also very close from me just eye balling it. Now I need a paint job.

I am rebuilding a car that I saved from the crusher and need some help on the headlights. Attached is a diagram of what I am working with. It seems the high beams work fine but when the low beams are switched on both the high beams and low beams are on. I have cleaned my turn signal switch and headlight combo switch and my hazards work fine. Can someone with a 73 go out and test there wires like my diagram and let me know what the wires should do? I also bypassed the high beam/low beam switch and simulated the switch and the problem is the same so it is not the switch. The problem that I think I have is that when the low beams are on two wires are hot. Can someone confirm that is my problem and that it should not be that way? Thanks, Ben
