He got ROTA wheels and is asking for 40k.

Hi guys I just recently welded up the rear antenna hole on my 260z. I am now in the search for an antenna that can be fitted under the dash or a low profile area. Are there any good options for this? I don't want to do subscribed radio. I just want the normal fm/am in Los Angeles. Any good brands that are lightweight, low-profile, and great reception?

Thanks for the PiCS

Don't really want to ask how much did you get it for, but was it less than $50,000?

I though ssr still sold these on their site. http://www.ssr-wheels.com/wheels/mk3.asp

http://www.pdkfabrication.com/Dash.htm + carbon fiber wrap = Hmmm?

Just pay for the real watanabes. Only a couple hundred more and you sleep better at night knowing you have real deal watanabe wheels. Atara is a knockoff fake replica that ripped off watanabe down to the center cap. Not worth it. They even stole watanabe offsets. Rota are cool because they distinguish their knockoffs.

Marugen Shouki flares are $300 shipped to your door. Well that's what I paid last month.

Ah, I see.

no they wont fit. You can run an adapter. @ Beermanpete, I go to CSUN. Do you drive a blue 260z with NY plates?

do something like: http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44470 7" to tinny, you are paying top dollar for wheels that have a variety of options. Don't run spacers.

You can spend $780 sipped for brand new ones from black dragon.

What kind of zg flares are those in your car? How big is lip on the rear? Great looking car.

Yah, Thats member Gmacs car. He's on here. Edit: That's a carbon fiber hood? Crazy. I shoud have bought one and painted it.

Nice. I've always debated then flare vs non flared look for a while now. I am now 100% on the zg flares.

Haha, awesome. Totally agree. I thought you were keeping your 240z out of zg flares, based on the number of different wheel setups you have for the stock body.

Thanks for the input guys, I will go ahead and use 1/4" combo insert/bolt. The question I have now is what material thickness do I need? I know the car's sheetmetal gauage is 16-20, which is .0359"-.0598." So going through macmaster carr I should get these? Thread 1/4"-20 Material Thcikness 0.020"-0.080" Diameter ------------==> 0.332" ] Body Length ------------==> 0.625" Diamter -------> 0.475" ] Flange Length -------> 0.058" Max Installed length. 0.440" I am sorry for the rook questions, but hate buying something that wont work. I just need some assurance. I will check out Harbor freight also. Thanks again.

http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/47525-how-to-mount-them-there-zg-flares/ Ok, I'm ready to install zg flares and need some help selecting nut inserts and allen head bolts. I was looking at A.Hoke write-up and want to replicate his mount kit since he no longer has them for sale. Is there a way you guys can help me choose from; http://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-rivet-nuts/=pgtwro or other sources. I am bad with measurements, standard or mm. Hope some of you can help out. Thanks

Ok I fixed it! Headlights work like a million bucks. I cleaned the fuse box and added fresh fuses, then I did: http://www.kamikazeracing.org/dl/ZTech/Rebuild_240Z_combo_switch.pdf. It is the same for the early 260z, the wire colors and everything. The step by step process is exactly identical. The points where corroded, cleaned them up and switched the contact plates. Amazingly, my headlights work and are even brighter.

Hope you can fix the issue. The early 260z fuse box has a really long tail. Hopefully the 240z modern style fuse box can work for the early 260z.

Nice, like the track too. Whats the new wheel setup you are going with?

Hey, I've been having a problem with the driver side headlight on my early 260z. The headlights where bought from silvana a year ago new. They worked great until the right one went dim on me a couple of months back. They occasionally work when I hit a bump, but most of the time they are dim. If they work post a bump they stay on until I turn the car off and shut lights with it. There is also a grounding question I have. The lights have a ground wire which I traced to the driver side firewall, close to the master cylinder/clutch master cylinder. The problem is I don't know where it goes because its just loose and just there not bolted or grounded to nothing, any input of where this wire goes to? Also, anything I can do to fix dim driver side headlight? I wanted to clean fuse box, but it seems I cant disconnect since wires are long to the terminal. I wanted to clean with vinegar (fuse box). Any help would be great, thanks hybridz. Brian O.

I did this a year and a half ago. It was simple, you take you car to the dmv and have an inspector check VIN# on firewall, dash, and door. I think that was it, but they don't go looking into the engine to see if anything was "modified."

http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/LNP1/23-3801 I was wondering if these shocks can replace tokico illumina bz3015 that I have in the rear of my coilover setup? I have sectioned the strut tower to bz3015 specs and looking for another alternative. Thanks

Theres a 280z in the movie "Scarface." In the scene where they get bussed to freedom town (this scene was filmedin LA, not Miami), theres a blue 280z spotted from an ariel view.
