  1. yeah i like to keep 14 inch Wheels | VTO Wheels I saw they have 34mm postive offset, what ET is this ? I need it to fit with stock suspension not rubbing the arches..
  2. Dutch reaction from the shop: You need a lathe on the wheel to make it fit the hub.. so that's not good
  3. I feel like 7j could be to wide? Not sure if et of 0 will work with stock 240z. Any tips or advice appreciated. I need something that can drive trouble free on the stock suspension without rubbing the fenders in corners, bumps or with a passenger
  4. Hello guys, My 240z has had Fenton mag wheels for about as long as i have the z. They are vintage i had them restored but they where never really wobble free in the steering wheel. Im tired of it and i want a new set. I believe my current et is about -10 or -12 6J. New wheels in 14 inch are for some reason very hard to find. If anyone has links or tips for wheels let me know. I found these here in the Netherlands, but how does that fit? My tires are just new 195/70/14 so i want to put them on my new wheels. https://www.rrwheels.nl/Webshop/Velgen/JR-Wheels-JR19-14x7-ET0-4x100-4x114-3-Gun-Metal-Machined-Lip-JR19147040073GML?_gl=1*1lnpsoo*_up*MQ..*_gs*MQ..&gclid=Cj0KCQjwhYS_BhD2ARIsAJTMMQYjrdrV1uoWUoH-JPr48noPlqm8ACaUM83a714piBIyVVkLIDfB_04aAqfUEALw_wcB
  5. So how the doors shut with those seals ? Be honest, do you need to slam, or a modest slam, or easy close like modern doors ?
  6. Okay then it was two piece.... Well I solved that problem with mine, it closes as easy as a mercedes benz, so no problems with that. The problem with most immitation seals is that today's rubber that is used is to stiff for compression.
  7. If your Z is early 71, cause i think so seeing your vin, you originally had the early insulator, those are different, but not obtainable anymore. I made a topic on that once. The later model was changed, because vibrations the differential was moved a little forward i believe it was
  8. I have small inner pullers for this stuff , works great. just add some heat first before pulling

    I dont like those Mart. I will ask around. I can find some vintage 14 inch wheels on the internet used. But big chance these are warped to. My wheels are Fenton Gyros... I googled and found not so nice things about them 🤐 Dunlop T-E Lemans 24 wheels 14x6 et10 4x114.3 | eBay I really love these, but so hard to find. He lives in NL but only has 2. There are also replica z432 but I believe these are not approved for safety DOT

    Guys... Does anyone know where to get vintage mag wheel replicas? I bought fenton mags from somebody years ago they where warped, i brought them to a wheel shop to get straightened. I recently put new tires but sadly they are still warped from the heart out, i saw it on the balancer. There was always a little vibration in the steering wheel and car and its now time to deal this.. i don't drive long distances but its time to get new wheels and deal with this. For my mustang i bought American racing wheels, and they have that vintage look... I want to keep the same for the Datsun. Any advice on wheels 14 inch? I would prefer 14 so i can keep the new tires and the vintage look
  13. pretty sure the original was not a 2 piece design, cause I took the original one out of the car that time. I allready had a rubber kit in that time with those replica door seals that where to hard, couldn't shut the door, so I went looking for a replacement
  14. I found these at an industrial supplier years back for 25-30 euros on a roll when I took a piece of my original door seals with me , looke the same like original. I sold one to a member on a forum here a few years ago. I still must have the drawing somewhere of it. Because the aftermarket ones where crap indeed the slamming.. This is not just a Datsun thing, many classic cars in those days used moos rubber. ( middle one in the picture )
  15. Mart I believe we are coming to a point now, that restoring cars from the 60/70's becomes so expensive, its easier to buy a restored one almost. Currently we are doing the 67 chevelle ss , 2 worn outs seats 1000 usd, 1 door panel 600, prices are going crazy, to when these cars where just 35-40 years old... I also start to see a trend where 60\70s classics are not for the " common man " anymore....
