[Advantages of an Oversized Piston?]

Hi Guys,

 

I'm planning on doing a general overhaul to my L26 engine for my 260z 2+2 and was searching for some pistons. I've gone through the forum & saw lots of people are discussing about having an oversized piston. My question is what exactly is the advantage of having an oversized piston to that of a standard stock one. I would be considering to have a set of those oversized pistons if advantages are on its side....

 

Thanks

[Need to replace all wirings for my 1977 260Z 2+2]

Its been more than 30 years now that the wires of the Z had been transferring electrons from one point to another... its time to give them rest & give new sets of wires to do the job...

 

At the moment im doing a major rebuild for the exterior body for my 1977 260Z & im planning on replacing all the wirings in it, can anyone suggest where i can get a complete set of wires as well as the fuses for the Z?

 

So far i can only find the heavyduty headlight wiring harness only.. Thanks for ur advice & help in advance

[Need suggestions on cleaning the tail light housing (chrome part)]

Hi everyone,

 

I need some advice on how to clean or make the tail light housing back to its shiny condition. I tried to look for a new housing but couldnt find one, so i decided to make an effort to clean it or do something about it.

Hi everyone,

i need help here, im planning to replace my stock suspensions with coilovers, & im not sure with the size of the strut outside diameter of the stock suspensions. Does anyone know whether its 51mm or 56mm? If not then i have to disassemble the suspensions & measure it.

 

Many Thanks.

Jay 28: Are those 3" flares?

[2+2 Owners]

Just a question: What is the offset for the front and rear for stock tyres for a 260Z 2+2?

[2+2 Owners]

 

Hi Jay28,

 

Ive got to admit that your Z is the best 2+2 ive ever seen. It looks so simple but smart.

 

Mind sharing where u got the ZG flares, Airdams as well as the rear spoilers?

 

I understand that your wheel for the rear is 17 x 10 -19mm offset and front 17 x 9.5 -13 offset, i have few question here

 

1. Are you using coilovers?

2. Are you using spacers?

3. Im planning to buy ccw wheels as shown below

 

 

do you think if i buy this wheel of the same size as your wheels would fit perfectly into my 1977 260Z 2+2 with the same offset as yours i.e -19mm (rear) and -13mm (front) or different wheels needs different offsets? Im so confused regarding on offsets... please advice. Thank you..

 

By the way im from Brunei and here is my ride

 

[Wheel Show! Post your pics of you wheels]

Hi everyone,

There’s been lots of pictures on the ccw classic wheels in this thread but none of them has given their full specs. Im planning to get one set of those classic ccw from http://www.ccwheel.com/files/wheelprofiles-display.php?id=Classic but need some advices from you fellow zedders.

 

 

At the moment I own a 1977 260Z 2+2, everything are still stock parts. But with the new sets of ccw classic wheels in mind im planning to convert 4 lugs to 5 lugs and change the suspension by using coilovers.

 

For the set of the new ccw classic wheels im planning on having:

17 x 9 (front) with 245/40 and

17 x 9.5 (rear) with 255-275/40.

But the problem is im not that familiar with offsets.

 

So my questions would be:

1. What would be the desirable offsets for the front & rear without rubbing the suspensions & without the wheels coming out off the arches? I want it to be a perfect fit without using any spacers.

 

2. What would be the maximum lip size I can get for the front & rear? Is 3†for front & 3.5†for rear ok? Has anyone got pictures of a 3†deep lip size as well as a 3.5�

 

3. Since im changing the front hubs as well either from http://arizonazcar.com/strassy.html (complete roadrace strut assemblies) or http://www.modern-motorsports.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=60_62&products_id=60 ( Aluminum 5 lug Cobra hubs! Zero Offset!) what would be the desired size of the centerbore (diameter of the center of the wheel) of the classic ccw wheels?

 

 

Im trying to avoid using flares, but if the wheels comes out of the arches, I might as well have to use one.

 

This is my current Z

 

Im planning to follow this Z

 

 

Appreciate your kind advices.

 

Regards,

Abgyak
