They are one of several small volume Japanese multi-piece wheels that were offered here shortly after the first Enkei wheels hit the US market. Many were imported and sold by established American wheel makers who were blindsided by the impact of the Enkei wheels. IIRC, DynaLite may have been imported and sold by Appliance. Their 14" offerings were two-piece welded (not bolted), but the 15" were bolt-up wheels as pictured. As a guess, you should be able to remove the center of the wheel, but the two rim halves are likely welded together down the middle. Oh yeah, early to mid-80s, not 70s.

I'd ask VTO them selves, not just a dealer like Dave. http://64.27.130.204/?page_id=22

I think they'd look great on your car, Terje. In fact, if I had not sold my car to you, I might have bought a set of these by now.

Jerry, I doubt the box needs another "rebuild". As noted above, there are several things here that might only need to have it opened and a small correction made. I suspect the solution will be fairly simple once it is out and the case is cracked open.

Jerry, a speed-related rotational clunking noise only in reverse almost has to be related to the reverse gears themselves. Any other source should have a matching noise going forward. As I sit here envisioning the parts that move only in reverse, I can't think of any other source. I fear the transmission needs to be torn back down.

The wider 195/70 will not allow the cover to lay flat in a 240Z, as you fear. The 185/75 might - it will be very close. The Vredstein is an OK tire, especially for use solely as a spare.

Look like OER's to me. Note the Type "OER 40". http://www.zccjdm.com/catalog.php/azcarbum/dt84283/pd1938012/A_OER__SK__RACE_CARBURETORS

In an effort to keep the site clean and make searches more useful and successful, threads older than 4 months in this forum (Ebay Disucssions) will be deleted if there is no useable information in them. In other words, if the only data is a now-dead eBay link, no pictures, or description of price discussion to save for posterity, the thread will be purged. Pictures alone aren't enough to keep a thread around, there will need to be some substance, detail, pricing, etc. This should keep useless threads from polluting your search results.

Correct. At least for the North American market, there were no other factory installed choices. Anything else was dealer-installed.

Must be a recent addition, I visited in April 2011, surely would have noticed that since I was still a Z owner at the time.

I prefer the Talbots, the UK mirrors remind me of the mirrors on a late MGB.

$40 bucks is a pretty good price, as I recall. When I bought mine in 2010 they were closer to $60 each. I don't know of anyplace to find them cheaper.

Drive more, show less. That's how I look at this these days. I don't own my cars to impress other people, they are intended to impress me. They do that by providing driving pleasure. End of story. I'd rather go on a 300 mile backroad cruise than attend a car show.

The UTQC is the whole suite of ratings. I believe the one the new rules are referring to is the Tread wear rating. The idea is to not allow the use of DOT-R tires (which frequently have ratings of 50 or so).

The stuff I've seen in person from Norm has all been top-notch, Jerry.

Actually, I believe the entire disk was molded in clear, with the letters and pattern in relief. The characters, rings and pattern are hand painted white and buffed off as noted, and then the entire underside is painted black. Simple and with a minimum of separate steps.

In your opinion, perhaps. I most certainly do not agree. Too modern, not "Classic" at all.But that is just my opinion, and others are free to do as they wish.

Some of the later alternators had these larger holes. I saw this on the ZX alternator that came in my yellow 240Z. While you can use it as is in a pinch, ideally you'll want some sleeves of some sort in the holes to locate things better. In this case, any sleeve you use should be slightly shorter than the thickness of the mounting ear.

Nissan didn't use tube "headers" on these cars, they all came with cast iron manifolds.

Been done. http://www.frpautomotive.com/frp_240z_shells_clubs.html

If that's what you would be willing to pay, that's what it is worth to you. Obviously, there are others who feel it is worth far more to them. I'd pay considerably more than $5k for it, but it has already passed beyond my personal valuation as well.

That is all the money for that car, and he isn't going to get it with that ad. Going to need a whole lot more detail and photos to get to even half that.

It's a user preference. I looked at your settings, and your setting is to not save.

Late 260Z in the US still had flat tops. Not FI. That was actually the probable reason for the late 260Z - the fuel injected L28 wasn't ready yet, so the late 260Z was the rest of the 280Z package but still using the carbed L26.
