Here At Vic's Auto Service, We make you happy with our work...

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.

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

What!?! No Cobra Coupe? No 1954 Masserati? No Jag D type? No 1937 Alfa? No Duzy Saloon? No BMW 507? Whatta Rip off dream!

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

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.

I'm on the other side of Division street, hanging off the hill with a view of the 2 frwy, forrest lawn and Griffith Park. I talk to that younger fellow at that shop and I guess he might be ok. The fellow in pas, I'm absolutly sure of, a true Datsun Specialist who's worked on several of the Roadsters in our group, with proper respect.

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.
