My Dad's new toy with my Z
Victor Laury commented on v12horse's gallery image in Big Z Photo Collection
"I won't be driving it very much. He doesn't drive the Z much though either." Ben, That sounds fair to me! When he finnaly breaks down and wants one for himself, tell him you'll help him look. Meanwhile he can amuse himself with that common modern car that Honda made hundreds of thousands of copies -
DeeDee, If you put half the energy into this car that you did in the ZX, I have no doubt it will be a sweet ride soon! Take your time a run through the ignition system first and then the Carbs. Are you still having a warm winter in MN? I have a friend in Mankato, who told me she was BBQing, OUTSIDE in 68 Degree weather last month! How weird is that?

Nothing "Rare" at all about a 75 260Z, they were only "Rare" in the US. We were tighter over ZX's here two years ago. Thank goodness we dropped our biased opinion a bit. I like the S130's myself and consider them a classic Z car as much as the S30 models. I guess if Otso sent you here, You must be alright. Bill, Jani is a man's name (Most often) in Finland

HA! Ahmed! You hit that on the head! That's why I would not buy them for my Roadster or Z! If you go to a show, 80% are on Panas. Nice wheels, but.... Dam... Pana overload!

Ok .59 inch X 25.4 = +15mm offset < That's should be quite tucked in and very safe on a 7'' rim. To convert equivelents take 6 mm for every 1/2 inch rim width. So, if you start with a 14 X 7 @15 Then the outside of 14 X 6.5 rim would be at the same relation to the fender lip @ +9

Ezra, You asked for photos of your wheels on Silvia/240sx/180sx? Here's a good example. http://forums.club4ag.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=128778 How do you like THOSE apples? I'm temped myself. Hey arn't these deeper offset than yours?
-
Eric of ZcarParts lists the ZXT Snowflake at 0 offset, http://www.zparts.com/ads/wheels/ads/wfs-56.html But that cannot be correct. He lists the Back spacing at 101 mm Do the math - a 6'' rim is 7 inches across or 178mm Divide that in half to get the rim center 89mm Subtract 89mm from 101mm to find a +12 offset Whoa! 17.8 lbs apeice! Not on my Zcar! Wouldn't ya rather have some nice 10 lb Volk TE37's 15X7@0? A second morgage and your sure to clear those calipers.

Reproduction Flasher Decal on Dash--any interest?
Victor Laury replied to dogma420's topic in Interior
I'll buy one, if not more. I tried my best to preserve the original sticker when I had my dash redone. It did not make it through the process unscathed. -
Done! Thanks Bryan for the "Heads Up".

The ZXT "Snowflakes" are 15 X 6 @ +12

My early 72 had one. With the short pig tailed fuse box

Bumper straightening/powder coating shop in SoCal need...
Victor Laury replied to 71ZZZZZ's topic in Body & Paint
Hey Neighbor! If you decide on Chrome instead of Powder Coat, I have a shop recomendation! Can't wait to see the car. Mine is down too for an engine compartment makeover. I too am shooting for a MSA completion date. Were getting enough folks to form a Eagle Rock/Mt Wash. local chapter of the CZCC! -
Sure, The Belden display rack at your nearest auto parts store will have them

Oh that is Beautiful! Are you in this photo, Dome? -
The homeboyz think my street is a public park. They leave me the broken beer bottles, used condoms and broken crack pipes to enhance the area's ambience. Gee, thanks guys....
-
Yes I am. You gotta be a f'n genius to buy a cantilever home in a earthquake, fire and landslide area! I have NO front yard, step out my door and you in the street. The near vertical back yard is a hoot to.

Jeff, I'm in the hood (Eagle Rock-Mt.Washington) and would be happy to meet you. I do not fix cars for a living but I do help other Datsun Owners fix theirs. There is a shop in Pas I can recommend

Thanks Tom! I have a buggered up fender below the house - or two or three -sicko Datsun pack rat that I am. Got the sandbag and pedestal set up last night. The foil model is something I hadn't thought of. Good tip!

Yar, 280ZX 2+2 245 mm surface as opposed to the 225 smaller one. If ya swap, you'll need to swap flywheels and t/o bearings

A wise man named Gary said to me, "Be carefull with that axe, Eugene", but I didn't listen. Drilled clear through in two spots.

Ya all seen the pretty photos of my car and said nice-nice things. Now Behold on the EEEEVVIIIILLLL that lurks below the skin. The battery tray is in remarkably good shape, and with a wire brushing and a ZeroRust prime coat should be as good as new. The inner fender, well that will require just a touch more work.
