  1. Get a hold of azcarbum he has a line on all different thickness of head gaskets. I have had no problems with mine how ever his prices will scare you. But the parts are quality.
  2. I hate to ask a stupid question, but from the picture of the left side rotor it appears that the vains on the rotor are pointing backwards. The other installs of this break kit I have seen have the vains pointing in the direction of rotation. Could the rotors possible be installed on the oposite sides or am I not seeing the picture correct? Summit Racing has all types of spacers available and a great return policy.
  3. I purchased it about two years ago when it first came out through Motor Sport Auto in Orange CA. I could not decide which front end to use. I purchased two. I wanted to use a carbon fiber BRE spoiler and that is the first front end I had on the car while building the car. I had 15x7 wheels and 225-50-15 and with rolled lips every where, everything fit fine. Then I found the BBS 16x8, 0 off set wheels and while the front wheels were turned the 225-50-16 had 0.030 in. clearance so the original lower facia had to come off. I had both front ends painted so I swapped to the one you see on the car. In California we are required to have a front license plate and I know some day I will be forced to put the old orginal plate on. Yes, I still have the orginal blue and gold Cal plates, the front is just not in good shape. This air dam looked good and gave me a place to put a front license plate without having to make something awkward to mount a front plate and it fit with the larger wheels.
  4. The paint code is K23. This is another picture in different light. The sun was just comming up in the mountains and there was mist from the meadow in the back ground. It tends to look best in bright sun. It is a hard color to layout and painters cringe when you tell them what color you want.
  5. Thanks for the complament and noticing the Fairlady fender mirrors on the doors. The idea for the JDM Fairlady fender mirrors, mounted on the doors came from Steve Pettersen @ Pettersen Motorworks, he only works on 240z, they are his specality and passion. I can't take credit for it. This mounting of the Fairlady fender mirrors on the doors is possibly a first. All of the pictures on line and shows that Steve and I have seen over the last twenty something years, we have never seen this done.
  6. Well sounds like you need to do a little more of your Z homework. How many sets of new out of the box factory original head lamp covers have you run onto lately? Those are factory originals that had not been out of the box until fitted on this car. New factory head lamp covers are unobtainium. That is why they are on this car. The same goes for the 16x8, 25-30 year old BBS magneisum race wheels that were never imported to the USA according to BBS America. They are rare, that is why they are there. Rareness/exclusive show that lots of homework went into this car. I have followed your build and you have done an amazing job. I thought that your 240Z may be finished before I finished mine. It always takes longer than expected. Keep up the quallity work.
  7. riscard, I will have to look back through some paper work to find the paint code. I cant rember it off the top of my head. However it was a 2007 limited edition color on a 350 Z called liquid platnum.
  8. I forgot to mention the custom matching Recaro seats and Eclispe CD 5000 head unit.
  9. This is my 1972 240Z that I bought as the second owner in 1986. I started the rebuild about two years ago, starting with media blasting, molded headlight buckets to fenders, shaving the marker lights, nastalgic BBS magneisum race wheels, and 1900 watts of Polk MOMO sound system. The car was finished friday night prior to hauling it to the MSA show 2009. I will post some more pictures of the interior.
  10. Pettersen Motorsports located in Chico, Ca. found them for me. Mark is the best at finding those hard to find nessary parts. Give him a call. 530-343-5007 or 530-343-4455
