not done yet...getting there though -
Just sand the back of the rear wheels in the back to match the width of the front. The tires will fit and they will clear the fender wells, yet still have the dish look and appear to be wider in the rear. I did this with this kit so I know it works. It is looking good. Make sure you paint the wheels dark gun metal grey;). -Ben -
Hello everyone, I found this and I was thinking that the tires are not orignal due to size. Isn't the original bridgestones 175/75R14? Any information on this would be great. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=34209&item=2460270017 Take care, Ben

Hello Rob, I have a bumper for an early 260z. I am not at my home now, but I will take a look at it on Friday and tell you the exact condition and take pics if needed. It is not perfect, but it is presentable. Regards, Ben

Your car has a great stance. Is your car lowered and what size tires are those? I would like my car to have this stance with some 70 side walls. Thanks, Ben -
I thought I remember it being a wood and plastic because when it breaks one can see the wood and the plastic.

Zmefly, I looked at the pictures you have on car domain and your old 240 looked beautiful. I love the yellow with the polished mags. Very clean looking.:classic: I have not seen many yellow z's. It looks great in that color. Your 280zxt looks mean. I bet it is an eater on the street. Hehehehe. It looks like you take care well. Do you have an early Z as well, or did I miss it? Regards, Ben
-
I would like the car too, but I want to make mine just the way I like until I think about buying another Z. Someday I would like to get a Z432. One can dream. I would be happy with my car having Fairlady Z mods. All I have right now is the Fairlady Z clock. :stupid: Later this year I hope to get wheels. Hehehehe. Until then, I have my avator. Take care, Ben

Here is an awesome looking exhaust and header for an L-series. It looks like the Z432 exhaust. If this Trust exhaust system is as good as it looks, someday I will have to get this for my car:classic: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33630&item=2459181642 P.S. If anyone gets this for their car I envy you. enjoy, Ben

:stupid: :stupid: :stupid: I should have looked it up before I opened my mouth(typing fingers). Mr. Camouflage and datto_240z, you guys are right. The original 240z steering wheel is plastic with a simulated wood grain layer on top. Sorry for the mix up. -Ben
-
Yeah, those look great. What is your offset on the front? I would really like to put 14 by7j with a zero offset and some 195/70 tires on my car. I will stay clear of your engine bay.:stupid: -Ben

From the album: 1974 260z (RLS30)
Here is a photo of my car at Ohlone college in Fremont just around the corner from where I live. This is after she got washed. I really love this photo. I saw someone take this angle, so I had to copy. enjoy. -
Here is a pic of my two latest cars that I added to my collection. The white Z432 is from 1974 and it was the first variation with the rivets that hold it together instead of the glue. The blue zg is from 1975 and it has the rare 1f wheels. I love tomica's. I have 7 tomica z's now. -Ben
-
The wooden steering wheels for the Z's is actually part wood part plastic.

I could be wrong on this Gav, but there was some 375-400 432/432r cars made and about 25 of those were 432r's. You could find a 432r with a serial of ps30-00218 because it would have been the 218th s20 powered zcar, but it is not saying that it is the 218th 432r just 218th s20 zcar out of the factory. I hope this helps and if I am wrong in any way, some one correct me. Wow, that is the same 432-r that you saw at the nismo fest. I was thinking it was, but I was not sure. Now I know. Cool, I wonder if there are any original owners of the 432r's. It seemed like if anyone was it would be the guy that owned this one because he is so true to its orignality. Does he still have the original tires on the car? I wish I could see and hear these cars in all their beauty. Take care, Ben -
I like your play on words. I was totally exxpecting a picture of a set of triple carbs!!! They look cuter than any of any sidedraft triples I have ever seen. Hehehehe. Is that your green Z in the photo? What size watanabe's are those on your car? Your car has a lot of potential especially with triples. Take care, Ben

Why not from the US gav? Shipping cost?

You have quite the collection of tomica Z's. I just bought a few more. Some of the ones that you have are quite rare. The old police cars are really hard to find, especially the diapet and dandy versions. I will have to post some pictures of my very small collection. I have a couple z432 and 240zg tomicas. My newest addition was a zg circa. 1974. It was the third variation of the tomica 240zg. Anyways, nice pics and a great collection. Someday I hope mine accumulates to something similiar to your collection. I would be happy with half of that.
-
Yeah, that is awesome. Do you have any vintage tomica's in there?
-
I don't think I have ever seen white walls on a Z before. -
The paint looks as smooth as glass. Well done. -Ben -
It looks great, not that it didn't before because it did. My tires are so wimpy compared to these. I have 14 by 6j and I have 185's on them. I saw a car with 14 by5.5j it had 205's. -Ben -
That is looking awesome kyteler. What size rubber are you running? -Ben
