Because these are +10 offset, they most likely won't clear stock springs. drax: more people we get going through my friend, cheaper the wheels going to be for everyone.

lol, no one's interested? they look awesome!

small correction to what here comes trouble said... don't press on the fender, that's how Zs get dented fenders. pop your hood and bounce the Z by pressing down on the shock tower. in short sounds like your suspension is shot. Get new springs, struts, bushings, and a differential mount.

yeah, eastwood sells it. http://www.eastwoodco.com/jump.jsp?itemID=10838&itemType=PRODUCT&path=1%2C2%25 I wouldn't really trust my 30 year old datsun resting all of its weight solely on 2 control arms

most of us woulnd't last long with her. that's why you get those 'extended pleasure' condoms!

bizzare!? uhm... what do you mean, BIZZARE? you mean GOOD, right? Maybe...great?

weirdest thing happened... i took a dump this morning, and when I looked into the toilet, I was impressed. The final product of my bowels looked very on par with that excrement on ebay. Perhaps I should ebay my poo

Tim, you should get a sticker made that says "Powered by dinosaurs"

OK, I managed to snag a wheel from my friend for short bit (very pressed for time, so I had a small window, and this is the only set he had). It's a Rota Grid 16x8, +10mm offset, 114.3x4 bolt pattern Honestly, it's an awesome looking wheel as far as a knock off goes. Here's the test fit result... you'll have to forgive me, but my car lacks a front crossmember and front fenders, so I don't know the fitment on the front.... They will easily clear a 240sx brake swap. No problems there. The rim is almost flush with stock bodylines, stepping out just a hair in the rear. I think with 245 tires it'll be a flush fit. The problem is with the front... Won't clear toyota vented 4x4 swap. The hubcentric portion of the wheel touches the caliperOne would need to grind down some iron on the caliper (safe, they're cast iron, lots of meat to work with) and put in maybe an 5-8mm spacer. Again, I don't have EXACT measurements because I had limited time. When he gets another set, I'll get better results. And hopefully I'll have fenders and crossmember to work with Hi res pics here: http://www.datsunracing.com/gallery/rotas

Yeah, wait until tonight. My friend got the wheel, and after I get home from work I'll have pictures I'll post later. sparky: actually the only finish will be bronze like this: in fact, they look like that. but with deeper offset.

OH yeah? try this: http://moon.google.com and zoom all the way in

wow, awesome

I'm not sure what the problem is? Are you saying it wanders all over the road and behaves oddly on turns? Please explain the problem in detail? Sounds like you need to make sure all hte suspension bolts are tight (holding in your control arms, trailing arms, etc), that your lugnuts are tight, and have wheelworks check your alignment. They'll check it for free

I would have, but I was really pressed for time. I went to a clubsi BBQ in pismo, then took 101 down to SD. I hoped to check out the bike in leftover daylight saturday, but I spent 2 extra hours in traffic, so I had no time left. Not a friend, but someone I know... and he neglected to mention the oxidation and rust. Otherwise it would've been an OK deal. And after seeing it today, I left depressed and headed straight home. I had to return the truck by 8pm to the rental agency. Sorry man :|

This weekend I headed down to San Diego to get my yzf600r. As pictures showed, it was decent looking, no cracked fairings, and ran. I've known that it sat around for a while, got started once in a while to get fluids moving, and it rode. It had low mileage, and price was...ok. I started getting some stuff for it too, like plugs, filter, oil, misc junk. I was aware of its major faults and that it had backdues on registration. My total estimated cost for a 97 600r with 14k miles on it, registration + back due, including rental + gas = 3k. rented a chevy colorado so I could tow it back (450 miles each way) for 50/day + insurance + tax = $143 for 2 day rental Drove to San Diego. Apparently annual horse races were this weekend, so I spent 2 hours in traffic NOT moving on 101 and 405. That was fun. Arrived. Crashed at friend's place. Next morning drove out to get the bike. At 5 feet, the bike looked fine. Upon close examination, it was oxidized EVERYWHERE. Goddamn FORKS were oxidized. not bad, but enough to have to replace them. Battery was dead, so push started the bike. Old gas + 12.5:1 compression ratio = crappy idle. Chain was rusty. So was rear sproket. Brake, clutch levers were oxidized. All little bolts and nuts were oxidized. Spring lines = rusty. Faded windshield from sitting in the sun. Bottom line, it's a pile of crap. If the bike was given to me for free and I had to do that drive again, I'd probably pass on it. I told the owner what I thought, and decided to cut my losses (he wouldn't budge on the price) and leave. So long story short, don't ever try to buy vehicles out that are outside a 2 hour driving range. I spent $120 in gas (at least the L5 3.5liter colorado managed to get 23mpg at 80mph with AC on and tailgate down). And came home emptyhanded. But easier than spending $$$$$ on repairs for a pos. oh yeah, unless you live in california, canada, or europe, don't complain about gas prices:

Sorry, that got a chuckle out of me because I got a funny visual Anyway, why would you want to use an z31 suspension on an s30? Rear suspension sucks!

don't forget high possibility of having to use a stand alone engine management system and tuning it!

you could try...the chevy forum? just you know, a random guess

there's a sticky at the top of the forum. I bet it might have some useful information! and before you say "that's for an s30, not s130"... people swap in L28et motors in all the time, therefore mounts are the same. Therefore, same oilpan, etc rules apply

I post about possible custom wheels and see what people think, and if it attracts attention. I post a link to the story, and some moron replies with "I'll trade you something for them" I am glad that hooked on phonics worked for him

CNN is reporting that Lance Armstrong may be stripped of his 6th Tour de France title. In a random check for banned substances, 3 were found in Armstrong's hotel room. The 3 substances banned by the French, that were found in his hotel room were as follows: (1) Toothpaste (2) Deodorant (3) Soap The French officials also found several other items which they had never seen before including a testicle and a backbone.
