Did the Watanabe caps fit on the Rewinds with no modifiation? I want some wananotbees! Sent from my SM-G955U using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Have you looked at the VTO Classic 8's? Futofab has a couple sizes. For 15x7, looks like you have to select the custom drilled option then specify 4x114.3. Or you can just choose their cheaper option and do the 15x6 +3, which would pretty much guarantee you no rubbing problems...ever... http://www.futofab.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage_images.tpl&product_id=5&category_id=2&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=72

Konig Rewinds 16x7 +0 Gunmetal Tires 205/55-16 Sent from my SM-G955U using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Looks great! Mine also has a crack at the choke level slot. Where did you source yours from might I ask?

I run the 16x7 +0, big fan of the fitment, no rubbing .

Your options at 15x7 are pretty limited. If you are stuck on that size have you considered the Konig Rewinds? If you step it up to 15x8, there are lots. Do you want the panasport look or more JDM? What wheels have you considered? Sent from my SM-G955U using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Run 2.5 inch piping to a zstory jdm style muffler, no resonator. You won't be disappointed [emoji6] Sent from my SM-G955U using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I plan to do the Euro lips offered at most of the sites. It's Fiberglass right? Any feedback on fitment of these? I definitly wish the urethane one was more readily available! http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/50-1636 https://jdm-car-parts.com/products/datsun-240z-260z-280z-uk-euro-spec-oem-front-spoiler https://whiteheadperformance.com/product/classic-european-air-dam-front-spoiler-datsun-240z-260z/ Sent from my SM-G955U using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Looking for some thoughts/opinions on the setup of my DCOE 45's. I purchased my 240z and it came with 45's on it, which I've concluded are too big for my application, but will deal with it for the time being. For the time that I've owned the car, getting it started was always a hassle and there was a lot of stumbling/hesitation at the bottom end/slow speeds. The engine didn't really come alive until 5-6k RPM through 3rd and 4th gear, basically all top end and it ripped hard on the highway. A few weeks back I decided to have the carbs gone through and retuned by a local weber specialist. Now that I have the car back, yes starting is easier and bottom end hesitation has been somewhat improved, but the overall powerband feels flat across the board. I feel like the spunk has been removed . On top of that, I get popping during slower acceleration and lots of popping when throttling down. The guy attributed the popping to the valves needing adjustment. That said, I was hoping to gather thoughts on the tuning that was done. Below are the engine and carb specs that I have. Thanks for your help! Engine: Original L24 Original head with enlarged valves (don't know the valve specs) 6-2 headers Crane EI Carbs - Current Tune Weber DCOE45 Choke/Ventury: 30mm (was 32mm) Main Jet: 125mm Air Corrector: 175mm Idle Jet: 65mm Aux Ventury 4.5 E-Tubes: Unknown (F11 or F16) Pump Jet: Untouched and Unknown

Rama, the one I have pictured has never been installed and has no cracks or chips. Essentially new! If you don't end up going the carbon route, I'd be willing to sell you mine for much less than what's listed on the zstore site. Shoot me a message if you're interested!

I did some searching and presume this is what I have then, right? http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/classic01a/50-1609 I noticed all the listing say it's for a 74-78. Does that mean it's not meant to fit on my 72? Sent from my SM-G955U using Classic Zcar Club mobile

God I love forums. Thank you! Any pictures of it off the car or how you mounted it? Also curious what the letters might stand for. Sent from my SM-G955U using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Hmm yes I think you may be on to something here! [emoji12] Sent from my SM-G955U using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Definitly could be, I'll do some searching on that. Just seems odd that it came with my car and is color matched. You'd think a test fit would be done before it was painted! Sent from my SM-G955U using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Any ideas from the community on the brand/type for this lip? I've spent hours looking for something similar and have come up with nothing. Sent from my SM-G955U using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Can anyone help me ID this front lip? It came with my 72' when I bought it and it's painted to match, but when I hold it up under the front, I don't see how it could possibly line up. There seems to be some lettering on it as well.

Well that doesn't sound as promising as I would have hoped [emoji17] Good idea on testing the gauges in the car but to pull my dash apart just to test them, seems like a lot of work! Any other options for testing gauges? Maybe voltmeter, apply a charge to them, anything like that?

When I purchase my 240 about a year ago, the previous owner gave me a big box of extra parts. Included in the box was 2 clocks, 3 Amp/Fuel, and 3 Temp/Oil. It looks like there are a few from a 72' 240z and some from a 74' 260z. See picture. I was looking for some assistance on what to do with them. The previous owner didn't think that they were working, but based on his overall lack of knowledge for the car, I think i'd like to test that theory for myself. Can someone give me some insight on how to go about testing these? Secondly, what does demand look like for selling these? I see some on ebay ranging from $30 to $100, depending on the gauge and condition. If they aren't working, is it worth it to spend the money to fix them, then sell them? I'm not overly concerned with getting top dollar for them, they will likely just go back into the box if they aren't worth the time. Summary 1. How do I test them? 2. Are any of them worth anything? 3. If they aren't working, is it worth it to have them repaired/refurbished? Thank you!

Can anyone help me ID the brand of these slotted mags? I did a quick search and am not coming up with much. I have a set of 4 that I will probably be looking to sell, but am hoping to get more info before I do. Looks like they say: WHEEL DIST ONTARIO CAL 14x5.5

Thanks Sean, for now I like upsetting the neighbors and making the dogs bark! One day I will get one fitted and be a bit more civilized!

Palatine, IL is my shipping address. I'm not running any center box or resonator right now, just the MSA 6-2-1 header and 2.5" piping to the muffler. I'm also running Weber 45s and oversize valves, so this could add to the noise level as well. Gav, As far as highway drone goes, its very minimal. The loudness only really comes to life when you get on it, and at higher RPM. At cruising speeds its sounds mean, but not obnoxious by any means.

You may have said this already but where do I get those at?! Custom? Would look perfect in my roadster Sent from my Nexus 6 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Hi Sean, I ended up ordering a jdm muffler from you! Had it put on 2 months ago and love it. I'm running a 2.5" pipe to it, no additional mufflers or resonators and it's loud as sh@#*t but amazing sounding. Most comparable to a pack of 12 grizzly bears and 13 lions sent up from the depths of hell.

Good call, lets open it up to the rest of the world!
