Swapping 280z wheels on my 240z with aftermarket 15 X 7 wheels
Use the tire calculator that is in that thread. The 195 is the sidewall size. The lower number is the width, for mine they're 50s for width or rubber meets the asphalt footprint.

Swapping 280z wheels on my 240z with aftermarket 15 X 7 wheels
I've got 15x7 0 offset Rewinds with 205/50 Hankooks on my '72 and am very happy with the fitment and price. That thread says Falken tires but I was wrong. The 15s are Hankooks and I have Falkens on 16" rewinds on my '77.

What valve specs y'all like for adjusting
I've always used local chain store Felpro. The bolts stay in place with it. Loosen them and just lift the cover off.

There's a little difference on the sides up front. Look close when you put it on. I put one on upside down and the thermostat housing side was a little longer on the staight part before the cam sprocket hump.

If you have it on the right wire it should blink as the turn signal. If not the bulb socket is no good. I'd say fuse, bulb filament, female socket then the main switch.- [2023] What Did You Do To/with Your Z Today?

I've used a insulation piercing volt meter many times without removing the part I was testing voltage on. It has a needle like end you push through the outer insulation to the copper wire for testing. I can't say how many times I've pricked my fingers to accidentally test MY voltage.- 280Z Fuel Injection to Carb Swap
If it's a '75 it should have an n42 head with the pump hole already there, at least mine does.- 280Z Fuel Injection to Carb Swap
Join our club. Put those SUs on a 240. I don't think my stock efi supplies the fuel when it could. It seems like a bottleneck compared to the carbs. The carbs get in the redline and won't stop until you decide. Efi seems to have a governor built in somehow with all the components. I'm talking stock stuff, no work arounds. On newer cars and bikes you have to re configure the ecu to get all the juice squeezed out.- 280Z Fuel Injection to Carb Swap

I rembered what you MUST be good at, in my mind anyway, Tetris. You have that way of thinking. "It'll fit, I know it will". Proof is in the pictures.- R180 Differential drain/fill thread size

You got my spring cleaning kicked up to high gear, thank you for sharing your projects with me/us. It's a great motivational "speech".- The Seat Belt problem

I've found putting mine on ramps to raise the front and a pillow or two on the door sill is really helpful. After watching the video I think I'll use two milk crates to lay on from now on. Thanks for sharing that @SteveJ - burned contact on the Turn signal switch of my 72 240z or dirty bulb socket
