The original tire size should be shown in the glove box. Mine are listed there as 175/14. I believe the a/r is supposed to be 70. I'm replacing my 195/70/14's with 205/70/14's this week. Probably a Dunlop D65 Touring tire - speed rated T and 80000 mile treadwear. Congrats on the new Z!!! -
works fine for me Mike. GJ!
-
Thanks bro. I ordered an MSA catalog last week but it hasn't arrived yet .
-
I'm looking for some nice floormats for my 240. Does anyone know where I can find a pair of well fitted black floormats with the 240Z logo?
-
I'm having my entire exhaust system replaced on Wednesday, but I am NOT using a header. All 2 1/4" with a turbo muffler (not sure of brand - IPC?). I'll let you know how it turns out.
-
Grantman, really sorry that had to happen to you. Did the guy in the Jetta stop? I hope they catch that b*st*rd. While this is a setback for you, be glad it's not as bad as it could have been. At least your collision coverage will get you some $blingbling for your next car. Salvage what you can and make your next Z even better!! Good luck man!
-
I don't have any pics but I'm curious too. What do you have to do to lower a Z by an inch or two?
-
SO how do you connect the 2 1/4" pipe to the manifold? Modify the "Y" connector? Will the 2-1 5/8" outlet openings in the manifold cause a restriction?
-
In reference to not installing headers, I was wondering what happens at the manifold if you upsize your pipes to 2 1/4"? Doesn't the stock manifold create a restriction thereby defeating the purpose of upsizing the pipe?
-
kmack - I'm basically wondering the same as you. The pre-muffler is a resonator but I'm not sure if it's even necessary. Anyone care to share some knowledge about this? Also, I've read conflicting reports about what headers will do for horsepower on an L24 engine. What's the scoop? I don't want to throw money at something that's not going to perform.
-
yup, it's a stock L24 w/ dual roundtop SU's. I was under the impression that headers would get me more power, but I like the sound of an inexpensive solution with similar results. Thanks.

I want to replace the entire exhaust sytem on my stock engine 72 240. The current setup is aftermarket and doesn't even fit the car. The things I am looking to achieve with a new exhaust system are more horespower and a better sound - not too quiet, not too loud, but sounds like it's got some muscle. As far as price goes, I don't want to go crazy, but I don't want to go cheap either. So given that and given that I'm car illiterate, my questions to you are: 1) Should I use headers? 2) What is the desired configuration behind the headers/manifold? 3) What type of muffler should I use? Should I add glass packs? 4) Should I go stainless steel? 5) Where can I go for parts? 6) Anything else I need to think about? I really appreciate any help. I'll be sure to post results when the time comes. BTW it's for this car:
-
A good place to start is www.zhome.com. Go to the Z Ownership section on the left. Tons of info there.
-
I'm the same way. Huge rims with super-low profile tires are all the rage now, but I just can't bring myself to swap out my 14" slot mags. They are (to me) the definitive rim for my car. Anything else wouldn't look right.

Gary Bracken, Chief Steward of ZCCC sends this message: Dear Fellow Track Enthusiasts -- As you know, each year since 1990 the Z Car Club of Colorado has hosted two track events open to everyone. This year our first event, at 2nd Creek Raceway, will be May 11th. As always, you will have lots of time on the track (one hour and 15 minutes if you stay all day). To assure a safe and fun event, we will again limit participation to the first 50 cars registered. A registration form is attached to this notice for your convenience. As we move closer to the event, we should be thinking about having our cars trackworthy. As you know, that means attention to brakes, steering, leaks, loose parts (like the battery if your hold-downs aren't good), tires, wheels, safety restraints and other items that could affect your safety and the safety of others on the track. The tech inspection form we use is also attached for your information. If you have specific questions about what is required to pass the technical inspection for Z Club track events, please contact Roy Davis, Technical Inspection Crew Chief, at 303-979-0711 (home), 303-445-3055 (work) or at co300zxtt@hotmail.com. Tech inspections for the May 11 event will be held at FORTUNATE WHEELZ (303-798-9822; fortunatewheelz@aol.com), 11190 West Alameda, in Lakewood: April 27th, 9 to 12 noon May 4th, 1 to 4 p.m. If neither of those dates/times works for you, you may have your car inspected by special appointment at Roy Davis' home any evening after 5 p.m. from May 6th to May 10th. Contact information for Roy is shown above. Tech inspection will also be held at the track from 7 to 8 a.m. on May 11th. Breakfast burritos and coffee will be available at the concession stand to jumpstart all of us. If you have questions about the track event, please contact me at gbracken@dimensional.com or 303-969-9964. Remember, this event is limited to the first 50 participants. Tell a friend about this event if you want to share the fun, OK? I look forward to seeing all of you again this year. In the meantime, have fun and be careful -- OK? Cheers Gary Bracken Chief Steward, ZCCC -
