  1. Does anyone know the minimum clearance needed between the back edge of the wheel and the spring perch?
  2. I'm a long time lurker who is trying to get his 260z on the road after a very long time. I recently bought some wheels and I seem to be having a wheel fitment issue. The car is stock. I have the Modern Motorsport wheel adapters to convert to a 4x100 bolt pattern. The adapters are 25 mm thick. The wheels I purchased are 16x7.5 40mm offset. The combination of the 40mm offset and the 25 mm spacer should result in 15 mm oddset which I have read on a couple of sites is the stock offset for that year z. I mounted one wheel on the front and the inside edge of the wheel is up against the perch where the spring sits. I'm surprised because I've read that people are running 16x8 wheels on a stock z.I could possibly get a wider spacer to push it out from the spring perch but it already appears to be outside the wheel well. Anybody have any insights?
  3. Congratulations on your project, I love to see old Z's brought back to life!
  4. Man, your car really looks sweet, everything you've done is top notch!
  5. That does look a lot better than stock!
  6. Your stuff really looks sweet! I'm envious!!!
  7. Who did all of the polishing/plating work?
  8. Thanks for the pictures. I'm shocked that the Koyo doesn't have a drain plug!
  9. Thanks to all who have replied so far. I was leaning towards the Champion but in an old thread people were chomping at the bit to get a Koyorad, hence the indecision. http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/66496-developing-the-ultimate-s30s130-radiator/page__hl__%2Bkoyorad+%2Bradiator
  10. I'm building a street car, 260Z L28ET. I've researched radiators quite a bit over the last several days. Which would provide better cooling- this 3 row Champion http://datsunpartsllc.com/cart/index.php?p=product&id=97&parent=0 or this 2 row Koyorad http://www.racinglab.com/koyo-radiator-088.html The Champion radiators have good reviews on a variety of car forums but the Koyorad has a good reputation as well. Thoughts welcomed
  11. Awesome project, my compliments to you!

    Nice looking car!
  13. Longer one when assembled goes on the passenger side.
  14. Welcome, it is interesting to see the various customized z's you've owned. Being a Z owner for about 30 years, I fondly remember those style Z's from the late 70's and early 80's. Too bad a lot of those parts are no longer available. I'd love to see you get another Z and go to work on it.
  15. Sorry to chime in so late, just catching up. Your car looks really nice both inside and out. great job!
  16. I don't think $400 is too bad, especially in the eastern half of the US. I paid $300 for my 83 turbo motor without the turbo. I had the motor rebuilt and picked up a P90 head to prevent problems down the road. I think the advice to try to get everything thrown in for one price (whatever that is) is a good idea. Assuming the gas tank is in decent shape, I'd grab that too. What year is your Z, I THINK 70 to 76 tanks are interchangeable from a fit standpoint.
  17. Good score, welcome to Z-dom. My advice, spend all your spare cash getting it to run reliably before you spend money on stereos,seats, paint, etc. The worst thing to deal with is a car breaking down all the time. I did that when I was a little older than you with a Corvette I had at the time.
  18. I stumbled on this by accident, this is really scary when you read what happened to this guy- http://www.brewracingframes.com/id75.htm Brake cleaner and welding don't mix!
  19. I believe there was one at the Motorsports Show this year or last. Check the pictures at their website. I'm wondering if anyone has grafted a 280zx t-top to a first gen Z. That would be really cool.
