So I bought a set of 14's Slot Mags. Pic below: So looking at these wheels, I'll need some flat/mag style lug nuts. Refer to the image below (see the one on the very right). So with this in mind, two questions: 1. Where can I find lug nuts that will accomodate these wheels? 2. Will it be possible to have a machine shop or someone machine the holes to accomodate them for the tapered style lug nut (see image above, illustration on the very left)? Any help is greatly appreciated

I haven't had a chance to research this yet, but I plan to get underneath the car this weekend. I was hoping that I could get some ideas on possible causes before starting. The details, HLS30-17269 build date 12/70. Stock braking system. The rear reservoir (one closest to the firewall) ran dry, the front reservoir was slightly low, but was still 3/4 full. No visible signs of leakage around master cylinder or master vacuum. There are signs of leakage under the car, dripping down onto the top of the transmission, with splash moving toward rear of the car on the passenger side. No visible leakage on either wheel brake calipers or cylinders (looking through the slot…

The caps on the resevoirs on my master cylinder on my 72 have turned to peanut butter. I can't seem to locate just the caps. Checked the common spots (motorsports, ebay, and anything that came up in an online search). Anyone have any leads? Thanks! Leonard Found them at MSA-now don't know how to delete the thread......:stupid:

So, I'm getting back around to finishing the brake project that I started oh so long ago. I'm going to clean out all the lines and everything, and I'm wondering how I need to clean the proportioning valve and the fault warning light switch. Should these just be blown through with compressed air and isopropyl alcohol or do they need to be disassembled? If so, are there replacement (rebuild) parts available?

Hello all: I recently acquired a nice set of vintage Minilite 14" X 6.5" aluminum wheels and am trying to find a tire that will fit but still give me a vintage/period look. My car (1973 240Z) is the stock height. I'm not looking for track/race performance. Just a nice daily driver tire that will fill out the wheel wells nicely. I've searched the forum and found references to different size wheels and what would be appropriate for various applications. Just have not found anything specific to the 14" X 6.5". Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks! Sam

I have a 76 280Z, and today when I went to move it into the garage, the brake pedal basically sunk to the floor, and only the very last bit of pedal space, would allow the brakes to be used....very slightly . I checked for leaks everywhere, and I have yet to find one. There is fluid in both reservoirs of the master cylinder, and it is a brand new master cylinder. I also tried pumping the brakes with the car off to see if the pedal would build pressure, and it did not, it would just continue to pump and never stiffen up. So does this sound like a bad brake booster?

Heh Guys, Can someone please photoshop the Per-Spec rims on my 280Z please in the photos below? I appoligize ahead of time for the photo size in the thread but this PC won't save file pics for upload. Included is a link to the original digital photos on photobucket to look over too. I would like to see how they would look in 3 different styles of all Black. 1st is all Gloss Black, my personal fav. 2nd is Black with Silver lug nuts. 3rd is All Black with a Silver Lip, (the entire rim section area from the bottom of the tire inflation stem outward in Silver. Just like the wide flat silver lip edges on the black Z in the very bottom photo.) If anyone…
