Heavy springs with out the additional lift will HURT performance and reliability. There are many better places to spend 80 bucks to increase performance, reliability, economy.

I put my 280 on a scale the other day came out to 2980 with me in the car i wieght about 140 and nothing is stripped all power options and T-Tops.
What year? I'm assuming manual trans. What trim level? Turbo?

I have all of the above for an early 240z, plus other parts. I've been trying to sell the car but it has badly rusted floors, it may be time I part it out. I'm in Monroe, GA 30656.

Braaaap did a great right up on tuning the factory efi, if you're planing to stay L28 and on a budget I'd suggest it to you. Its a good read for any one wanting to tune or hot rod their stock L28.

This should be in Parts WTB.

Nice score, I picked mine up two years ago. I have yet to finish the body and paint, but yours looks pretty good. Read every thing you can on attaching fiberglass to steel before you try to tackle the quarter panel. The Kaminari kit for the 280zx is impossible to find, but reproduction IMSA kits are available. CAUTION: No part of the IMSA kit lines up with the Kaminari stuff. The IMSA kit does not flow onto the door the way the Kaminari does so repairing your door is a must. As far as the performance of the engine and drivetrain it can all be found by SEARCHing this site. And Please Please use some punctuation, I know you are new but it IS in the rules. Welcome to Hybridz!

Thank you 74_5.0l for posting classic looking wheels with appropriately sized tires. What a breath of fresh air for this thread!

I have a 72 that I'm tired of storing and fear ill never finish. Great deal to a good home, lots of parts that can go with it, willing to negotiate. Six 7 eight 2 eight 3 nine 700. Text is fine or call after 5:00.

I have an extremely nice set of 9mm rods. They are std. std. Had like 115k on the clock. $160 + shipping from 30656, or trade for a metal head gasket for turbo. Other turbo or zx oriented trades entertained but NO junk.

Hey I know that drive way! The car is looking good steve, keep it up.

Get a turbo... or triples.. no sound system required.

There were a lot of sedans raced back in the day. I would love to see an 810/maxima setup for comparison. Maybe even 210 or s12, it would have to increase the resale value to know exactly what car it belongs on.
-
Exactly. 1mm= approx. .040 so... .75mm=approx. .030

Perfect thank you!

I typically search more as I'm sure it is here somewhere, but I only have access through my phone right now. I have a 79 zx with a million wiring issues. It has been turbo converted with SDS stand alone. I also have a complete, bumper to bumper wiring harness for an 83 non turbo. The car is going to the shop for rewiring in a couple of days so I need a diagram and any suggestions are welcome. Thanks

Pretty sure the RB adds considerable weight. IIRC from the engine weights table.

And thats definitely an M.

Such a tease... February.

Not sure about Germany, but here in the states you won't get a performance tire in 15 in in those sizes, 16 has some selection, 17 is infinite. Unless the 16's are incredably light, I'd go 17... thats what I'm doing. 15's race 17's street.

The firewall is also structural. Its much easier to brace a fender (bracing off of firewall or off of lower part of fender) to compensate for holes drilled, than it is to brace a firewall.

Which combo of offsets should i get is what im wondering. I assume 15x12 1" backspaceing would be too much, even with bamf flares. I mean thats an 11" lip lol. But i really dont know.
Really don't know- is probably an understatement. Instead of wasting money on wheels that don't fit why not buy jackstands, flares, and a tapemeasure. That is usually a good place to start. Most of the popular coil over conversions offer a pretty good idea of offset required to compensate... so that base is covered. As for the wheels your looking into and the fact that you use the word aggressive three times in a thread inquireing about wheel fitment I won't waste too much time describing tire selection. But just incase I've read you wrong... take it from the guy with 15x14s out back, you won't be able to buy street tires that suite them for less than $1500 a pair.

I have searched alot, just to let everyone know, but I still have not found the answer I am looking for.
I know I can run a 15X10 wheel in the rear of my ZX with no problems, as long as I have either a 0 or negative offset.
As for the fronts, would a -40mm(or more positive offset) 15X10 fit in the front with stock struts/springs(With a very small sidewall)? I've looked but no one runs 15x10 in the front, usually 15X8 or 15X9.5.
This website is probably pretty useless to you. You need to find one of those much more usefull websites that is dedicated to wheel offset, camber, fender rolling, and fitting tires with a six inch treadwidth on a ten inch wide wheel. Generally this site focuses on modifications engineered performance, driveability, and reliability. You should find one dedicated to more useful data.
Now that that is out of the way, my 15x10 -0 fit fine up front with 1 inch spacers effectively making them -25. The problem was the big 23x11.5x15 hoosiers. I would bet that a slightly more narrow tire (or better less offset) would have done the trick.
