240ZX

Bling bling item for sure!!! Very creative. However, I don't think I would want some item spinning around, out of balance, on my wheels....especially after you spent the time a money to have the tires/wheels balanced. It just ain't right!!!

You might give Jim Cook Racing a call. I purchased a set for all four wheels for $70.00 and am happy with the product they sent. Goodridge is also a good choice but they are always the highest price......they gotta pay for their advertising I suspect!

Well, based on some of the modifications I've done to my 1970 240Z. I refer to it as a 240ZX, because the complete drivetrain and brake system come from a 280ZX.

My experience with a lighter flywheel, and my Z is a street driven car, is that it has some effect when leaving a stop but nothing like what most people have heard or read. As a matter of fact, I find it easier to leave a stop than with the old heavy flywheel. Of course I'm running 4.10 gear with the B model 5 speed. Anyway, if you like to do spirited street driving and like the whole experience of down shifting and such....then the lighter flywheel is certainly a plus item to install. The car will just respond to your input much better. However, if you have limited driving abilities, stick with the old unit and spend the money on gas. Like I've told people who have asked how I like the lighter flywheel, I always tell them....."I'd never go back to a heavy one!"

First of all, it certainly is more attractive than a 350Z!!! I suspect that the looks of this car will tend to grow on you as time passes. By adding one's own personal touches I think it will look very racey and become a damn good looking ride....at least compared to some of the crap that has been released in the last few years. Now if it comes with all wheel drive and 400+ HP....now your talkin!!!

Welcome to the best damn Z car site!!! You may want to become familiar with the SEARCH function, as there is a ton-O-info within. For sure, post some pics!

Don't mean to be pessimistic but, it looks like you would be buying someone elses problem! They look pretty rusty to me.

Some food for thought.....I would not recommend using hose clamps for this application!!! Think about it, you would be adding excentric rotational wieght to the drive axles. This may cause an out of balance situation! A couple of words of caution, when disassembling the drive axles....place index marks on the two parts before disassembly as you want them to go back together the same, be very aware of the sequence in which the parts are arranged, DO NOT loose any parts as they are no longer available, and be sure to relube the assembly with the correct lube. Hope this is of some help!

Just a thought to consider before putting your home address on the world wide web! As we all know, there are many undesireable people in this world who would take great pleasure in knowing the exact locations of our many beautiful Z cars, making it extremely easy to rip you off! I'm not being paranoid, just thinking of your pride and joy sitting in your garage, while you are at work, and a thief going down the list of Z owners and choosing his first hit. :stupid: If someone wants to know where someone resides....PM them!

I believe you can also use the GM HEI module....about the same price. Doing a search should bring up the wiring diagram.

Welcome aboard! One word of advise.....learn to use the search function, it will save you from being bombarded by member comments to the fact. Z car love is actually a very contagious disease that few ever recover from. Throughing money at it helps however! Lots of good info to be had here and the members are pretty sharp too. Enjoy

Unless of course it's a red Z !!!

Chrome it !!! Seriously, paint it what ever color you wish! let's face it, who has to live with that decision anyway......not I! Painting it white sounds like what you really want anyway. It is only my opinion but, any stock Z is pretty.....as you stated, PLAIN. Make a statement, live a little, push the envelope, make women weep amd chidren run for cover.......or, just paint it PLAIN old white. However, you make the call!

Now here is a really good one..."Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence." (Quote by A. Einstein)

Here's an interesting one."There is nothing so over estimated as a bad f_ _k and nothing so under estimated as a good s_ _t!" :surprised Also, "If you don't use it, you lose it!!!"

Chris, None of us know what we're talking about here, so go ahead and pursue your need for speed on the street. Or, just suck it up and take our advise! You may thank us in the future.

Sebastian is so level headed! Great PR guy! And......really fast! I just love watching the WRC. I think these guys are some of the best drivers in the world....and god bless their navigators. I was watching the show and they filmed an oriental guy, from one of the supporting companies, getting a ride from one of the racers....funny as hell watching the expressions on the oriental's face. The guy looked half scared to death most of the time. At the end of his ride he was, of course, thrilled beyond words. WRC rocks!!!

As many have already stated....the looks of the early Z's is outstanding and timeless! So, #1 is looks, #2 is.....its mine and its paid for!
