ATF works well here in the NE for the temperature range that is encountered from May thru November. When I need to fill my SU's to achieve a point between the low mark and the high mark I use a medicine dropper and this does a neat and accurate job.

I have a nice set of Recaros installed in my ride. Check it out. I should be getting the Silver Bullet 240Z out of winter sleep soon if the weather cooperates. I will post some photo's of mounting as several have asked me.

When I had my intake manifold (E88 for a 72 240Z) bead blasted and polished I used JB Weld around the carb heat water pipe where it exits the rear intake and enters the front. There are tiny o rings that are damaged and not replaceable. If not for JB Weld spread around the pipe you would have leaks or not be able to use carburator heat.

Right on with the front spook! I use the "BRE" with no ducts. I can feel a big difference at 60 and above both with the spook and without one. For my driving, I like and use the ductless "BRE" spook. The steering is much more firn (road feel?). I would not like to have the front wheels getting "light" on the road as they do with just the lower center valance.

Perhaps "Flintstone"!

I have a Alpine AM/FM/CD (model CDE-7853) mounted in my 72 240Z. It comes with a special mounting bracket that slides into the opening and locks. Then, you just slide the head unit in and it locks into the bracket mounting (very easy to remove by moving two pins). Now, you must file just a little of the original opening by using a flat file (does not require a lot as I recall). The stock radio with faceplate can still be used with no problem if you want to return to stock. By the way the radio faceplate is removabvle. I installed two Alpine 6x9 speakers in the M/S enclosure which fits in the rear hatch area, replaceing the taillight interior trim cover. Love the system.

I have a four core radiator that the original owner installed. Have been in 105 degree heat, four lane backups, stop and sit in Baltimore, New York city and Washington. The indicator moved one needle width higher. As soon as I was moving again the indicator returned to normal (between 1/4 and 1/2). The car originally had a/c which I removed.

You can check out my four spoke Libre wheels in the photo's under my name in members gallories. The tires are Yokohama's 195-70-14. You can get a good idea how they fill the wheelwells on my silver 72 240z. Congragulations on your car. Looks like a keeper! And, just enough left over that you can plan your upgrades and refreshing of those areas that you mentioned.

Wants $20,000.00!

I have used automatic transmission fluid in my 72 240Z SU's here in the Northeast. Temperatures seen run from 105 down to the upper thirtys. Excellent performance
