Yes. The first time this happened I didnt notice it and one of the valve stems actually split, in my garage. So I adjusted all the teeth, got them super tight, but still spin. The after market ones are super tight, it took an hour to get them all on trying not to ding them up. New tires, all balanced with no noticeable vibration in the rear. But before I adjusted them, all for corners spun. Ther are about 1 inch tabs that fully encompass the cap with serrated teeth.
I have three sets of D hubcaps and one of the aftermarket set from Resurrected Classics. I can't get them to stop spinning on the wheels. I figured the original sets were maybe too tired, so I put on the aftermarket set, which are extremely tight, yet the rear caps spun in about 4 miles. I can get the front ones to not spin, but the rear wheels just won't stop. I've had them off at least 4 times to adjust, and I'm not a lead foot, but that shouldn't matter. In almost 30 years of running hubcaps on 240z's, I've never experienced this. I tried RTV, rotating the wheels, adjusting the tabs, nothing works. Maybe the wheels are worn where the teeth grab the caps? It's a 1/71 car.
That's what I've done I my 1/71 leaving everything hooked up and complete.
I believe that's the Nissan Heritage museum. I think I go back to Japan in July and plan to go there next. Didn't know about the Subaru museum, thanks.
260z
280zx?
Anyone have a set of these? Just wondering if they are any good? They look really nice.
This is a beautiful car. I would think this auction would be the litmus test in the early Z market today.
No they didn't.
Was on a 3 day layover in Nagoya, and visited the Toyota Auto Museum. Fantastic. The 432 was great, but the show was stolen by the 2000GT. So many great cars there. Another notable was a 42 KdF Beetle, and from the description the earliest Datsun.
Some kid is going to love revving it up and sharing the horrible sound from that exhaust pipe, maybe it will do some backfiring as well.
Lol
Does anyone know the actual quality of these filters you can find on eBay and a couple other sites? How do they compare to other popular brands?
Yikes. Not sure if this was posted or not. This car was stolen. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1970-datsun-240z-125/
I forgot to add these, lol. Hard to judge things by picture.
I'm pretty certain its single stage. If you've ever seen the really fine checking that happens to it, this is what's going on. Zero orange peel.
The paint has fine checks. It looks to like it's original. Thanks for heads-up on the interior. I didn't notice any tape lines. It's a fantastic car.
1975 280Z 2+2. 52,000 miles all original. It has a couple flaws in paint, nothing major, a couple dings here and there. A/C works is what I was told From what I can tell it seems the interior is all original, and that's what I'm being told. I'm a 240Z man, not super familiar with originality with later models, but I was convinced it's all original. $29,000 In Jacksonville Florida If interested, pm me. Not my car, I just know who's selling.
I own a 1/71 car "Series 1", and I had someone approach the car and start pointing at all the incorrect things on my car. The fun part is , my car is all original and unrestored. I just said thank you.
But it hurts so good.
A friend about 30 years ago did this with his pickup, worked pretty good.
No ECU. 71 240 JC Whitney, the good ole days, some the stuff in there was just so horrible. Good memories. I figured there was a GPS sensor that could be included with some units, I'm just starting to the search.
Anyone have a good suggestion to what after market cruise control to install? So many on the market. My first concern would be not so intrusive on the dash.
