I have a set of Rota RB wheels on my 71. 15x7 +04 offset. 205/55/15 tires. No issues with center cap or rubbing. I also have tokico springs/struts and I haven't had any issues.

thanks for the input guys! Now when it comes to re installing the glass with the new weather stripping. how do i go about this procedure? I assume I would install the weatherstripping on the glass and then with some type of lubricant try and fit it onto the hatch?

I have a spare hatch for my car that I want to get sand blasted and painted but I would like to remove the glass to this this and also replace the weather stripping around the glass. Has anyone here successfully removed the glass and weathersripping/chrome molding? Also, is it urathaned in place? or does it just rely on the rubber seal around the window? any tips would be appraciated! Alex

sorry guys having some issues getting the pics to work

Hello everyone, I'm fairly new to this site and to Z cars. I have been on the hunt for a 240z for many years and have finally found one. Its a 1971 with 105,000 miles on the clock. Its all original except for the exterior colour. The car is originally white but has been painted (903 blue?) at some point in time. I assume the previous owner wanted the car to match the blue interior? I plan on doing a full restoration but until then I wanted to make the car a little more presentable and clean up the engine and engine bay. I have some before and after pictures of the engine and engine bay I would like to share with you guys. In regards to the motor, I removed the A/C system, air injection pump and the corresponding hoses, painted the block and cleaned up the cylinder head and valve cover. As you will see, there was alot of oily build up on the motor which was a pain to get off to say the least.

any updated with this? I'm having this EXACT same problem! I just removed my A/C system and now my blower motor will not work. Every wire that i'm testing for power is giving me constant 12v which is turning the motor on but i have no control of it with the switch. Can someone who has a non A/C 240z tell us exacly where the postive and negative wires coming out of the motor are leading to? The only electrical component of the a/c i removed was the switch on the drivers side but I don't see how removing that will give me this problem. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Excellent work! Can't wait to see it finished.

Hello my fellow Z car enthusiasts. My name is Alex and I'm from Toronto, Canada. I'm currently in the process of getting a '72 240z from arizona and shipping it over here. I refuse to buy a Z car from canada or the northern states because of the rust! I have been into Nissan's ever since i started driving about 12 years ago. I just recently sold my S13 240sx I have owned for about 7 years. I'm a very hands on type of person and do almost everything on my own in my garage...from swapping in a sr20det engine in the 240sx, suspension, etc.. I'm also really meticulous when it comes to cars. The slightest imperfection will bother me, whether its a paint imperfection, stone chip, dent, rust, etc.. Thats part of the reason I wanted an arizona car...to give me good starting point with minimal rust. Well I look forward learing all about these cars and getting everyones advice and tips. Here are a few pictures of my S13 before i sold it.
