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

[atara racing wheels]

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.

[Will wheels from a 1988 honda accord fit a 1973 240z]

Ah, I see. 

[Will wheels from a 1988 honda accord fit a 1973 240z]

no they wont fit. You can run an adapter. 

@ Beermanpete, I go to CSUN. Do you drive a blue 260z with NY plates?

[SSR SP1 fitment]

do something like:

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.

Edit: That's a carbon fiber hood? Crazy. I shoud have bought one and painted it.

[Need help selecting nutserts and allen head bolts for ZG flares]

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

[Need help selecting nutserts and allen head bolts for 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.

[Need help selecting nutserts and allen head bolts for ZG flares]

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?

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

[early 260z headlight dim plus related Q's.]

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. 

[260z fuse box issues]

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. 

[Rb 240z video]

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

[early 260z headlight dim plus related Q's.]

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.

[Getting a car back into DMV Systems without paperwork]

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."

[Can these shocks replace bz3015 on sectioned struts?]

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.

[New Bridgestone Potenza 245/45/16. Just sharing for 16" wheel owners.]

I'm an owner of 16" watanabe wheels and tires seem hard to come by these days. Just got informed about these coming out. I wanted to share with you guys so possibly the demand for 245-45-16 tires increase. I just ordered a set of two, but wont be using them any time soon as I have brand new Fuzion zr1 245 45/16 rear and also running this year's new 225 45 16 Dunlop Direzza ZII for the front. Hope you guys keep your 16" wheels as I see more and more go on sale due to lack of tire options.

Might not be new,  I think they have been out for a year or two, but its the first time I have seen them on tirerack for this size.

[Return of the SSR Mesh]

Awe, I hate flat lips. I want step lips. Oh well, maybe if they come out with 17" in the near future they might have step lip. 

@ Nelsonian, I remember we talked about these wheels when I bought the exhaust from you a while back. These have your name written all over them. 

[Return of the SSR Mesh]

YAY! Thank you for posting this. My second all time favorite japanese wheels is the formula mesh (stepped lip). I have my first favorites already. Now to score these and longchamps down the road.
