zed240au

he if you like flares i say go for it luv that california zed look with the jim cook racing wing could up date it with a fast and furious aluminuin wing would look trick i cant see the problem with 18" wheels myself think they would be trick anyway my commodore comes with 15 rims standard and they fitt 18 to them all the time im running 17 At the end of the day the overall diameter not going to be that differnt to orginal i mean 245 by 50 on 15 rims is close to orginal so you go to 245 by 35 on 18 going to be close any way You have to modify these zeds to keep them alive i reckon i mean they where modified before they left the dealers air con changed stereos who wants to have a standard orginal you cant drive only look at better to modify and have fun but have to be honest mine was too far gone to be orginal so modified was much more fun all the best mick

cant see the wheel size being a problem but on my 71 240z the widest with wheels set well in they being 15 x 8 the best width we could get was 245 this was with the spring perches raised so as to clear the wheel and tyre so i really think you would struggle to get 285 under the real of a 240z that is with out going to flares of some sort Mick

hi i have ran my zed at hillclimbs closed circuit events and drags using using 15 x 7 wheels Used yohohama A008rs tyres first 225 x 50 x 15 they are street leagl race rubber good last about 2000 km under road race use Now using Bridgestone 540 225 x 50 x 15 they are still street legal rubber are really excellent tyres wet or dry hang on like glue should get 3000km out of the bridgestones My zed is used only for weekend and race use so might get a bit expensive to run on road depends on use Cost in aussie dollars was $1060 for yohos for set $1180 for bridgestones Would really like to hear about your lti conversion havebeen running nissan v8 for years but ready for upgrade think the lt1 would be good instead of the turbos every one else runs Would luv any info on conversion have got jag that runs book on convervsion for earlier 350 Regards Micheal

I built my 240 up in 1990 finished just in time for the first australian nationals in brisbane I have fitted nissan 4.4 ltr v8 from president with 5 speed box from a celica also too car to 1993 national in sydney have fully registered car still running strong 12 years later have fitted 600 double pumper holley straight on to standard manifold electronic dizzy and hand made extractors real neat fit Though about ready to rebuild motor now have full gasket kit going to have a look and extract a few extra ponies Will have to check info but did read of bob sharp building twin turbo motor based on the 4.4 motor but rules changed and it never raced if memory serves me correct Check out my gallery last pic is the best i reckon Bye for now if any one has worked on 4.4 ltr motors would luv to get any info i can

so is the australian paseo worth so little you can afford to buy one of our hottest zed and freight it back to england Dont know how we afford to own a zed in the first place Mick
