Need Help... new to the scene

[Radim]

Just run a small spacer to run those other wheels, looks like 3-5MM should do.

 

Red Blazer wheels 195/50/15s, Baby Moon caps and White Walls on that 521 would look UHMAYZING.

 

..... or...... I may be able to aid in importing some of those crazy Japanese wheels.... or.... build a custom set of wheels? :)

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

'70 through '73 240z wheel. The '74 model year 260z used the same wheel but had a Z in the center. I like it, dressy and comfortable. I have zx wheels in both my 710s because of this.

 

The wheel is definitely not a 70-73 wheel. They only used the phenolic resin wheel, some had the indents cut out, some just had the indents on the spokes. The 280z used the wrapped/foam wheel. Not sure what the 260 used. The center cap on the 280z steering wheel would twist off instead of pop off as on the 240z steering wheel.

 

 

 

Oh yeah, truck look better with the wheel covers off.

How about making the lowering block a tad shorter? instead of 3" switch to 2 1/2" that would cure the rub and you could use the other rims you wanted.

I don't want to switch them. I am going to be slamming it more so that will not help me any.

looks like a 74 260 they had foam and I think they said datsun then switched to z

70 to 73 smaller center cap push on that said datsun also only the wood wheels as far as I know

70 to 73 wheels and smaller push on center cap

 

 

off a 74 260 I parted out

 

on a 75 I picked up

 

on another 75 havent located the horn button in the stash of parts but looks like a push on horn which would be early style

but I think solid indents and foam 74-75 not sure after that

 

early inside horn button

 

late inside horn button

I stand totally corrected. Was looking on the wrong page of illustrations. Def. not the early Z car but '73 or later

Thanks for letting me know guys. It was in the truck when I got it but it is comfortable, in good shape and the horn works.

 

I am getting my new wheels and tires put on today. Will post pics when done.

[Dat-girl]

Got my new shoes put on today. Here are the pics. I ended up going with 15x8 chevy rally wheels. I used 195/50/15 tires on them. Got an extra few inches of drop on the truck as well just by using these wheels and tires.

Color combo is looking great! Good choice on the rallies.

[skyblue]

I looked at taking it off but I like it. It is different. Along with my rack.

[Dat-girl]

I tried many colors for the wheels with the factory color. Red is overused but it looked best with the green. Can't wait to get the truck painted.

[mrbigtanker]

Witch rack you talking about.Just kidding i also agree with ruckycharms i dont really like the spoiler myself but its your truck and thats all that matters.But it is coming along really nice.At least yours is running cant say much for money pit at the moment.

turn the torsion bar square nut out(release the jam nut) and dial it down.

back looks good also already so you have room(travel) to haul stuff

 

grease up the drive shaft grease nipple and the kingpins up front. Most people dont do this

[flatcat19]

Truck looks wicked.

 

Love the red/grey combo.

 

I'd rock the shit outta that. Then I would go drive it.

[DatWifey]

I'm impressed with how straight and clean this truck is! :thumbup:

It will not be grey for too long hopefully. I don't like that the bed and cab are two diff colors and they fact that it is a spray can paint job

We plan on lowering it more in the front and the rear. I can go about 1inch all the way around so thats what I am going to do. Thanks for the info on greasing things.

Thanks. The truck is really in awesome shapr. I have a little rust in the bed and a little in the tailgate. I'm in love with it already. It is my first datsun.
