  1. I have tried direct hook up from MSA, but the connections to the caliper did not seal well and so it would leak bad. I don't recommend there setup. I have a picture in my gallery.
  2. No -- The picture is from a fellow member on this board, Hawkwind.
  3. Round ones http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/attachment.php?s=&postid=35125
  4. Sorry about the mix up in attachments. I edited to show the front.
  5. Rear fog lights.
  6. Hella Fog Lights 100 watt bulbs. The yellow is easier on my eyes, and to other drivers.

    I've talk to Michelin and they said that the original tire size for the 240Z was 175 - 80 - 14 which is about a 25" tire. 195 - 70 - 14 or 225 - 60 - 14 would have about the same diameter.

    Currently, the lights run dim at idle at 800rpms. At 1000, the lights are fine. I have HELLA E-spec H4 w/55-65 watt bulbs. If I change the pulley size, smaller, then I should have enough juice to power everything at idle. Who makes aftermarket pulley wheels? Has anyone tried that? The upgrading to a higher amp alternator may not be necessary.

    Can the stock 240Z alternators be boosted to put out more amps? I like to keep it simple, plug and play. I am looking to upgraded. Below is a link to an aftermarket one but it's $900.00us. Has anyone used them. http://www.powermaxx.com/main.htm Below is a list of electrical stuff it would need to handle: Fuel Injection Engine and all its goodies 100 watt headlights 100 watt driving lights (HID is still to costly) Rear Fog light Air Conditioner Stereo System Alarm System Laptop Computer Cellular Phone Radar Detector Refrigerator -- ice chest type

    "...A clever engine builder can tune the length of the intake tract to precisely time the arrival of an incoming pulse with the valve opening. This natural supercharging packs slightly more intake air into the cylinder, increasing power. If engineers were designing the Murciélago only for peak power, short intake tracts—timed for high rpm—would be fine. But the engine would be weak or even stumble at low rpm, with the pulses out of phase. Thus, Lamborghini counters with a butterfly valve that forces the intake through a longer bypass at low engine speeds, much as a trumpet valve changes a trumpet's pitch. .... "

    Asbestos = Cancer There are still many lawsuits in the courts and it has been determined that asbestos causes cancer in the lungs. I would not even come near the stuff even if it was for free, long life is price less.
  15. My link above will give you a picture on the springs. http://www.zhome.com/ZCMnL/tech/Calipers/toyotaCalipers.html
  16. Keep the stock brake line setup or replace the rubber hose part with braided lines, avoid the braided lines that bolt directly to the caliper for they could leak. Mine did but on my Toyota Camry it did not. The condition of the used or rebuilt caliper might make the difference. http://www.240z.org/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=1596 http://www.240z.org/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=1597

    I use 225 - 60 - 14 on a 14 X 6 rim, no problems. I just wish there was V rate tires in this size.

    In California, the most recent year, shell or engine, whichever is newer, would determine the year for smog. example: shell = 1972 240Z engine= 1983 ZXT L28 smog year would be 1983
