    Extended 260Z wheel studs - 350Z fit?

    Here you go buddie. These do all the varying sizes that nissan run, reckon you'll find the correct size. GKTech +20mm Extended Wheel Studs (vipmotorsport.co.uk) Checked some other pages and they said to use the 350z kit which is 14.3 knurl size so these will see you right.

    Datsun 280Z -77 - Build thread

    Electric fans and the Mechanical fan clutch (Aisin wins!!)
