I like the machined shiny lip, goes good with the bumpers and window trim on my car. Msa has all black rewinds that look more race...y?...ie? 0 offset and 4x114.3 like Jim says above. I bought 2 sets from discount tire a few years ago. They were the least expensive I could find then.

Mine are fel pros I'm 99.9% sure. They were easily available at the time from local chain auto parts store. I have some more info from my build thread I can post too, also on my laptop unfortunately. I can get that for you this weekend when I'm off work. Hopefully you're in the planning stage and not in a hurry...

Damn you're good! I never had rubber tires, they were all foam if I remember right.

Late thought edit: To keep from whizzing off all my buddies that run 16s on 240s I could have gotten a smaller side wall tire. I'll include the sizes when I get back. I really like the 15s with Hankook 205/55-15 (I think ) on my 240 though. Shameless show off... Those are 14s on the slots back there on that red one BTW.

I have 16" on my 280 but 15s on my 240. The 16s on the 240 remind me of a favorite toy I had as a kid, Stompers. I've got some good pictures of the 16s on a 240 I had but sold. They're on my laptop though and I only get it out to pay bills. So in the next couple of days I will post some photos and let you see what I saw.

I've gotten lazy over the years after building my 2.4. I did balance the rods and piston cups out of boredom, they were very close from the factory but older 240 aren't as close as the 280s from all I've read. Anyhow the darn thing runs so good and fun to drive-iness I attribute to the 10Lb aluminum flywheel I put in. It's fast enough for my weekend drives around here. One day I'll put the e-31 and cam kit together but no rush. Anyway... Diseazd is talking about this I believe. He gets his from Eiji at Datsun Spirit I think but I bought felpros for a Ford after reading a whole helluva a lot about all this. https://forums.hybridz.org/topic/25807-improved-l6-valve-stem-seals/ My still in the bag, on the shelf with the rest of the goodies waiting for life to get back to boring.

Mine is 50 years old and I beat like it kicked my dog. No problems. Plus one on OE equipment.

It's supporting a battery! That's good.

Google search with some good results... https://www.google.com/search?q=driveshaft+u+joint+replacement+classiczcars.com&rlz=1C1BOFA_enUS494US494&sxsrf=ALiCzsb5tUfpGYHzR2Ah4ow4K95XHC4KUw%3A1651256837439&ei=BS5sYtu1GoGOggfI5rrQCw&ved=0ahUKEwibzOmJ87n3AhUBh-AKHUizDroQ4dUDCA8&uact=5&oq=driveshaft+u+joint+replacement+classiczcars.com&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAMyBAgjECdKBAhBGAFKBAhGGABQxB1Yzx1gwSloAXAAeAGAAaICiAGrA5IBBTAuMS4xmAEAoAEBwAEB&sclient=gws-wiz

I bought a leather couch in Atlanta and brought it home then had to leave it in my garage until I built an 2nd floor deck. Long story. Anyhow for the drive back home from Atlanta I wrapped it with shrink wrap I bought at Home Depot. Worked great and cost maybe $20 or so? Maybe you and a helper could do your Z from front to back so it wouldn't blow off. Just a thought but it might work?

Lots of good info on here. That P79 head mod Diseazd mentions is on there too. Click on the drop down MENU. https://datsunzgarage.us/

If you don't have a pressure washer take it to a spray car wash, one with hot water. You knew that I know but that's just me being me.

I learned that pulling my race boat to Kentucky one weekend. Dulled the gel coat along the lines. Not too much trouble, just had to get it buffed out. $200? and it was good again.

Cheap foam oven cleaner from Walmart and a high pressure blast cleaned mine up really good. I left it aluminum though.

No emoji for loss of a loved one. Keep up the love for Project Georgia.

Ran up the odometer a little today, the weather here is perfect, but not before doing something really stupid. I was in a rush to change the oil this morning and forgot it was in neutral. Went to jack the center flat on the crossmember. Got it pretty high and CU-THUNK. The cup on the jack came off and up between the pan and the torsion bar. Put a little dent in the front of the pan but didn't puncture it so all is well except I'm pissed at myself. "Could've been worse" is my go to now.

That is odd. My Nissan 180F thermostat opens and circulates at 175. 176 sitting in my garage only flowing an OE zx fan and shroud. No road driving flow.

He's got a Z divining rod. I used to have one too, in my pants. Too much trouble now...

I can add more fuel with my potentiometer and the temp comes down quite a bit. Lean it out and it runs warmer. Just an fyi post.

This is how I figured mine out. It's easy once you wrap your head around the basic functions. Good luck!

You'd be better off using clear hose. That Great Stuff straw was a bitch wiggle and twisting around the float. I think the gas softened it up after a bit.

I think you'd rub into yourself before you rub into to her, eh?

I figured out a quick fuel bowl test not long ago. Common sense but I'm a little slow. IF you can find a clear straw that will fit down inside the overflow bung on top you can stick it down and put your finger on the top end holding the level in place. Compare the fuel in the straw from the bottom to the top of the rectangular boss on the float bowl to see how close you are. I used a straw off a can of Quick Stuff foam insulation BTW. It's thicker plastic than a coffee straw. Look at this picture to see where the fuel should be. Hope it helps. It's a quick way just to get an idea. There's a lot more precise ways and I personally use this method with the clear hose for a better "quick and dirty" carb adjustment.

My early n47 had both. I never saw them actually putting out oil but it had terrible oil pressure on the gauge so I thought they were both working. Never considered the spray bar was used for block off. 9/76 build date.

I did pretty much all I do now, move my Battery Tenders around. Cars truck and mower. I'm buying a 3rd one maybe this week? but dog food and deodorant come 1st.
