Panasport Wheel Weight
Al, I changed to Eibach springs with Tokico struts, The tires are Toyo 215-50-16 all the way around I have no rubbing issues, the ride is good a little stiff yet very resposive. I do like the way the car sits on pavement. The wheels are 16 X 7 with + 6 offset to clear the brake upgrade. Good Luck.. Mike

Replacing oilpan gasket
You will need to lift the motor slightly. Best thing for no leaks, get good gasket put small bead of gasket silicone on both sides of gasket tighten slightly let set overnight and then torque to spec. Worked great for me.

240z Brake Vacumn Check Valve - Direction??
Just remember vacuum sucks it doesn't blow it pulls from the master vac to the engine. Air should flow toward the engine. Good Luck

Problem with Braking
Shakey, Check your check valve and make sure you have it in correctly. You have described the exact problem I had. I also replaced everthing you did, on the check valve the arrow points toward the engine not the master vac. Good Luck

Well I am new to this but I thought I would share my ride with you. First of all this was my dads car with 342,000 miles on it when he gave it to me August of 2006. I have to the best of my limited ablity done what seems to be a good job. By the way that's not me in the car. We rebuilt the car from the ground up and I mean everthing. Please let me know what you think of the finished product. This is a photo on the day I picked it up in Ga. Thanks for looking....
