2 sets of American Le Mans wheels, (you cant have enough of these) For the BRE Z, 1 set of 15" Panasport lightweight racing wheels for the Z with Toyo RA1's. 1 set of 14" Panasport Lightweight racing wheels for the Roadster, 1 set of American Silverstone wheels with Hooser racing bias ply tires (2 spare wheels without tires), 1 set of 14" Minilights w/o tires....

pr0, Looking good so far....

Yeah I think I was one of them, and I think 920 "gold" is a classic color...and it is fun to make jokes about too Nice! but you can't claim it until you own it... :cheeky:

My imagination went off on a tangent...Semi, Z, Semi, Z.... I figured your rear quarter would have been in much worse condition. Lucky that your door was not damaged as well.... I know it is hard to hear that you were "lucky" because any damage is bad...but I think you got off lucky...

IF it is the stock motor you will need a square port header. You would or should have an E88 head if that is the case. Now we are talking about cars that have been around for 30+ years and if someone has done a motor swap that could be incorrect. I would suggest looking at the stamping on the head and verifing what head you have then we can give you the correct information. Also, a little examination on your part will tell you if you need a square or round port header...look at what is on the car now....It is pretty obvious if you have a round or square port header currently.

Thanks Gav! I am flattered. If you get over to this continent, specifically Southern California... I'll take you out for a spin. BTW...Who needs a 2.8 when you run a 2.4 at 12.5:1 compression, a big cam, mikunis and 110 octane fuel! Nothing smells like race gas!

Good deal! some before and after photos are in order.

Can you take anyone serious who drives a baby poop yellow Z!? Aren't those touring cars running cantilevered slicks!?

Sorry to hear about your Z, that is a serious bummer. I hope that you know of a good body shop to do the repair, as my experiences have been less that positive. I would still tell your insurance company so that they are aware of the situation, So if it goes badly you can have your insurance company help you out. I wish they wwould inforce this law in California, as everyone parks their slow a$$ cars in the fast lane to the point where there are fewer but slower cars in the slower lanes. Then faster drivers weave in and out of the slower lanes....ARG! Actually they are legal and can be used in a court of law. Some States might differ on this...

Hypertek, It is a bold statement to say the "best looking period" in your opinion...sure...but the first thing to expect on this site is everyone will disagree with you, because their vision is different than yours.... To defend your position is not worth while. Glad you like the car you posted....thanks for sharing. Next time try a thread that says, "Hey check out this cool Z" and I think you will find that the opinions will be positive and not negative.

Hey well its a nice car, and well turned out...but I like mine better.

Most of us run 10's to 12's....some who run 20 min sessions run an 8 gallon....

they will clear.

Congratulations...memories of when I bought my first Z

I agree that this is a carb problem and not a fuel flow problem brought on by low pressure. Good luck and let us know what you find / what works. BTW, I have 2 Carter pumps on a single pickup. I am running an ATL fuel cell with a surge tank. My pumps are configured as an either / or situation. So If one pump were to fail I can manually switch over to the second pump with a flip of a switch.

Victor & Ben, It was a great show!!

Rob N, i guess we got off on a tangent...I guess that American Racing is recycling older names. My vote is for Panasports, they are available in different colors, and are a really well made wheel for the money. Good luck!

American LeMans wheels: American Silverstone wheels:

I have 14" Silverstones on my roadster and 14" Le Mans on my Z both wheels are Mag wheels so they corrode very easily. As far as I know, they were only available in 14's for Datsuns. Some of these wheels were manufactured in 15" for other vehicles.

There have been several write ups on strut braces and how they work. I was involved with the design of the PDK solution and can answer any questions you might have.

Lance what ever you decide, Have Fun!! Can't wait to see what you decide to do...but beware, one minute you are building a street car...the next thing you know your building an all out race car. Trust me I say this from experience.... :D
