there are panasport copies from Koing that look very nice they are the correct 4 on 114.4 and 14 dia, they have them on ebay comsisitantly here is one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=43954&item=2446418874 its a cheaper alternative and they are new , its their old school style they call , they also have some that look like libras<sp> I have the name of a guy in the states that sell the old formula ssr wheels new , but they are quite expensive , but they sure look great on the 240zg from japan , gonna be my next purchase, hoe I helped a bit , Jeff:geek:

if you are gonna rebuild your fan clutch check out this post I found very helpful , good luck Jeff:geek: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10401

you can also use a radiator hose reducer for that if you had to , I used that for my heater hose on my 240 worked well when I removed my water from the manifold , I got mine at auto zone was like 3.49 , great deal in my opion Jeff:geek:

great post guys , getting ready to remove my electric fans that are horrible , got a fan/clutch from ebay , now I know how to rebuild before installing , well let you know how it goes , thanks Jeff P.S. anyone have much luck with the fan shround from msa? in florida here need all the cooling help I can get

please let me know where , Orlando area here wanted to redo the carpet and do the tunnel as well as strut towers , love to se pics when you get them up thanks Jeff:geek:

Can't tell you the size but msa has it and if its like the 240 one size is larger than the other , with reguard to the ends , msa catalog page number 72 probably part 15-6222 , good luck Jeff:geek:

I think this is the link there were intending to put up , its very use full building a f-54 and e31 combo , good luckhttp://www.geocities.com/zgarage2001/z.html anyone have a breakdown anywhere of specific up grade to do when rebuilding this , heard of the crank bolts and turbo oil pump just was curious,Jeff:geek:

christmas again? damn I haven't finished paying off my visa from last year

please let me know if you change your mind on shipping would need the rad and shroud thanks

I have been told that 20w castrol if best for the carbs or fork oil , If you are talking about the float lines from the carbs to the air cleaner , it won't affect how it runs it just dumps the extra fuel from the carbs <if any is there> to the air cleaner, if we are talking about the same line. and if you put too much in the carbs its ok if you raise the piston inside the carb it will get rid of the excess and just get burned in the engine <as I was told on ye olde ztherapy video > , good luck:geek:

can anyone tell me if this is the correct fan for a 72 240z , I need it and hate to buy new 221 from nissan and 160 plus shipping from msa , http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2445936974&category=40017&rd=1 I have electric fan and can't get them shut off after I got my car running , they stayed on for 5 mins after so I pulled the link and they sounded like the bearings were bad , thanks all:geek:

you can buy that exact spoiler from motorsport auto http://www.zcarparts.com/ they also have a very good selection of stock and performance parts , also victoria british , alot depends on the part , if you have su carbs I recommend ztherapy highly , did business with them and was very happy , http://ztherapy.com/ if you need any more info on specific parts suppilers many people on this site can help or they might have them as well, did alot of homework from this site for my 240 , great people on this site good luck Jeff

I have seen webrings that were car clubs not sure why they wouldn't have a z one as well , that would be my first place to start , other than some newspapers will advertise in like the automotive section < we have a thrusday ride section> put an ad for starting a new club , good luck

I think there is an issue somewhere there, you got me worried as well , I have planned a simliar motor except an e-31 and su carbs , hope you get it back up to snuff

not sure about the padding on my 240 it didn't but I recommend replacing the staps on the bottom , made a big diffrence in comfort with mine , good luck:geek:

hhm one part chevy , one part beer <may subsitute with Jim beam> whaala instant Idiot , thought it was a relative at first

hello all. question here , should I use a motor flush , the car sat for roughly 1-2 years , it has oil in it now and the car is running but I haven't driven it yet , was gonna change the oil and didn't know it would doing more harm to use and engine flush to ge the sludge out , I am gonna replace the sending unit and clean the cam oiler bar after I flushed the engine, Also anyone heard of putting tranny fluid in the crankcase to loosen up that stuff? I honestly don't know if it is that dirty show 84k on the odo and the papers the previous owner had suggest this is true as well , thanks

did you get these?http://www.jcwhitney.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10101&storeId=10101&langId=-1&productId=194769&mediaCode=ZX&appId=385277 Thanks Jeff

hey i have been looking at these was jc whitney reasonable? been seeing 65 -75 on msa and other sites lowest was 49.99 but was from a no name dealer so I was hesitant , thanks Jeff

yes you can use 1989 ish toyota 4 runner calipers and a i think its 83 turbo disks but you have to use a spacer plate , seen them on ebay and other sites usually runs 65-85 bucks a set for the spacers and then just get the other parts that you can get from a junk yard , good luck:geek:

i had the same issue , i switched from the phillips to a regular screw drive and had someone hold the carbs as I leaned into it to put pressure on it and they came out ok , but even the z therapy video says use a regular screwdriver , good luck:geek:

ok its runs great on choke but can't get the car to idle off choke so I can tune the carbs , as soon as I release the choke it idle drops off way too low, and its running very rich from the exhaust , I have the z therapy video but their car idled without the choke on :stupid: appreciate any help Jeff:geek:

i just got done with rebuilding mine using the video , it was great , still not up to speed with tuning but heh one out of two isn't bad

Enkei made a clone a long time ago I see on like ebay and such and I believe western did a simliar style wheel , good luck but like someone else pointed out it should be stamped somewhere:geek:

ok first does it make any noise at all when you attempt to start? if not you might want to check for an inline fuse , alot of datsuns have them and when one goes its like you don't have a battery in the car, check the manual or a service book < chiltons> for it, try that if you are not getting any noise good luck Jeff:geek:
