Floorless240z

If I'm dropping the bucks for bling wheels anyway, why no save the $500 on adaptors and get the bling wheels custom in 4 lug? I'll probably go 5 lug though, and search the 300zx forums for cool wheels. Still not sure about the brakes though, or the ground control vs AZcar maybe if AZ could hook something up w/brakes, suspension, and camber plates I'll go with them

i made that comment based on the wheels I see on mustangs. i don't like them. You may, which is fine. it's all personal preference.

lol most options for mustang are american racing and the like but if it shares bolt pattern with the 300zx, then we may be in business!

nah I'm definately going to get aftermarket wheels, it's just easier when a bolt pattern is similar to a popular car, to go to forums for that car and look for used aftermarket wheels

what are the 5lug wheel options? what popular japanese cars share that bolt pattern and offset? (btw what is the bolt pattern and offset?) actually, how is that possible? I have a friend of mine who runs 280zx wheels (the same wheels I have on my 240z right now) on his 240sx. and why would a 240sx have a fwd offset? they're rwd.

I would prefer to stay 4 lug, so I can use 240sx wheels. there aren't a lot of 17" (gotta clear the brakes, plus minimal tire sidewall roll) wheel options for the Z, so I heard I'd be able to use 240sx wheels (same bolt pattern and offset). I live on Merrimac near Main, my Z is currently in storage near Fredonia. I need to find a garage up here so I can bring it up My parents live on the west side of buffalo though, and my dad has a gunmetal 71 240, you may have seen it around. Also, my uncle lives a few blocks from me, he's got a red 73 with a g nose. you have/need any parts? We've got 2 whole cars in parts in our basement.

Alright, apparently I'm selling my rear disc upgrade from Ross at mm to my father. so I need to pick up front and rear brake kits, as well as suspension 1st off-brakes. arizona z car rotors appear to have a lot of venting, have 4 pot aluminum calipers, aluminum caliper brakcets for the rear disc setup, $749 up front, $795 in rear ross also has aluminum calipers, brackets are steel though. $1225 in back, $1200 up front obv, arizonas are a lot less money. I can't really afford $2400 brakes right now, but I want sufficient stopping power, minimized fade, and i'm hopefully gonna be pushing a lot of power, so I'm gonna need it. can you guys go more in depth as to the cv conversion's ross sells? to use the zxt halfshafts in earlier z cars Arizona also has chromemoly lca's, seem nice for adjustablility, and obv a weight savings last question- there were some race-prepped 240s with arizona z car coilovers, and some with ground controls. pros and cons of these coilovers? ie: spring perch adjustability, spring rates, etc

how much would they run, and what would be the weight?

could you get these: http://worksuperwheels.com/wheels/vs_xx.html to fit a 4 lug 240z, in 17x7.5"?

ok my z is currently just sitting in the garage. I am in the process of getting an rb26dett for it. I want to stiffen the chassis. This isn't my daily driver, so I don't necessarily need a pillow-soft ride. just something do-able as far as stiffness is concerned. I have the zedd findings floorboards and frame rails here, I am about to have them welded in. I have searched, but all threads are long and confusing, there is no definate suggestion. your thoughts?

So what is the final verdict? I am in the same boat. I have a '70 240z. I would prefer coilovers, as I'm doing an rb26dett conversion, and cannot estimate the change in weight to compensate, at this point. But if there are good springs out there, lemme at em! and I have only been able to find tein's for 300zx's Oh and Ross: I will e-mail you this week concerning the rear disc kit, and the rear end. -Andre (Nerdigger@aol.com)

Hey, I was just wondering how I could contact OkinawaImportPerformance. I am looking to do the rb26dett swap into my 240, and it seems like this place is cheaper than the nearest jdm motor supplier to me, in toronto. thanks a lot.
