More than likely, a wheel and tire combo that will fit under stock wheel wells, my car has very little rust and no need for flares

Thanks for all of the knowledge

I was leaning more towards option # 1 above. One more response from a HZ member that agrees with that, and I will go that route...just want to do things right.

Before I get blasted, I have searched HZ for the answer with no clear definite solution on what to do with the proportioning valve. Some say take the guts out of the prop valve, some say don't... My Car-73 240Z My Brake setup is the 81 280ZX 15/16 Master Cylinder, reman'd stock 240Z booster (I might upgrade to ZX later), 240Z stock proportion valve, 83 280 ZX rotors and calipers in the rear, 83 Toyota 4x4 front calipers that use the stock 240Z rotor direct bolt on caliper. My question is what exactly I should do with the proportioning valve to make this system brake properly? If I am missing some information that you need to make a clear definitive answer please let me know before posting. I am just trying to clear up some of the confusion that has been talked about on HZ for many years with different opinions on what works. I will not drive my Z until this is fixed. I will never race my Z in a competition, and will eventually run a modest N/A engine with triple carbs...so HP will never be over 220 in case people are wanting to know what kind of power I will need for stopping my car. Once again, I hate bringing up a topic that has been talked about many times, but I, and probably others, find many opinions on what to do with the prop valve when upgrading to disc brakes.

I have 40mm triple Mikuni's type S5 that require 44mm air horns (according to WCR), let me know if you have a set that you don't need. To be sure of fitment, send me the measurements if you have them.

Check rock auto, I found them fairly cheap on there, plus they are rebuilt. I got a rebuilt 15/16 MC for 14.00 made by Nabco as well.

Got some. Please close

Bracket depends on the year caliper you use. Early 79-82 used a bracket that is hard to find. 83 used a different bracket that is easier to find but requires different rotors. Do a search on here and you can find info

Yeah, just trying to find some cheaper.

73 240Z

I finally got mine out and I need some that are usable, good threads and such. Thanks

Anyone bought these? Looking to see if the quality of the seat covers are worth buying. URL: http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?nav=item.view&id=400345956976

Maxima flat brackets modified for the 83 280 ZX calipers on a 73 240Z

Check out my intake, ready for some powder coat color...check out snapping necks and cashing checks in the project area for info.

Just wanted to add some pics of my intake for my Triple Mikuni's. I found someone locally that does powder coating at very reasonable prices, Jesse 706-905-4000, he is located in Waverly Hall, GA (next to Fort Benning)...so if you are close to this area give him some business. I should have my intake completed today and I am using Hot candy blue (powder by the pound color), and I will post some pics of the completed intake later. After sand blasting Primered, ready for some color

I found a local guy that is going to blast and powder my intake for $50, looks like he will be getting lots of business in the near future!

I took a chance and bought the ebay speed daddy radiator with dual fans and it fit perfectly in my 73. It is a cheap China made 2 row, but has held up so far.

There is one in ebay for 200.

Well I decided to start rebuilding and cleaning my Triple Mikuni's, and I should have my rear disc conversion completed this week as long as my homework does not get in the way. First, I have to take the the intake and get one of the throttle linkage mounts welded, it broke during shipping (but I got a GOOD refund back from Fedex), and then I will be looking to get that powder coated. I just wanted to post a pic of my carbs before I started working on them. I bought the full rebuild kits from Wolf creek racing (Dang, and I thought SU parts were expensive), Todd is a pretty good man, I sent him pics of these carbs and he sent me what I needed to make them like new, no hassles. I will post more pics of completed projects...

Looking to buy a master poly bushing kit, ebay had them for 152.00, just seeing if anyone has a kit for sale.

Got it, fast shipping as always!

I would not blast you for being lowered, and pretty sure members of HZ will not either. Sweet looking Z, and gotta respect the triples!!!!!!

I'm seriously thinking about buying a small blast cabinent to clean parts myself
