250 is insane for a steering wheel. Are you sure you arent brand name shopping just to say you own a Sparco? Hopefully you arent, some of those brand names are crap.

12" is too small, they use those on go karts. 13" is perfect, thats a common size for aftermarket steering wheels. 14" is too big, thats going back to stock. TBH i dont like any of those wheels you posted. Im sold on the quality of Dino steering wheels. Hey, you asked Also, if you are an audio buff, Dino offers a sport wheel that has controls that work with major brand stereos.

Whoops, i missed this thread. I didnt read it until Dave (violacleff) told me about the get together. Well at least you are still here until the 1st Ontario Mills 4 drinks?

Hey Dave, You might not have a hard time at all selling it. Look whos local (Torrance), http://www.bitterparts.com Parts dont look expensive at all.

Ive had a Grant, blah. Fell apart within 2 months. Ive had a MOMO, double blah, waste of money. Grips made squeaky noises when squeezed, and then fell apart. I went to the Long Beach Veterans Stadium High Performance Swap Meet about 2 years ago. I ran into a guy who had 2 Dino Steering wheels layed out on a towel. He wanted $25 for each, and i bought them. The quality is outstanding. They are a very sexy wheel. I am still on the first one, and it was about 10 years old and used before i bought it. Check out Dino Steering wheels. They are a marine wheel for boats. I have mine installed in the 280zx with an adapter. Im not sure if it comes with the wheel. I believe all aftermarket wheels require adapters. http://www.dinomarine.com/

I find what i want, my friend bids on it and then pays for it when auction is finished. The stuff arrives at his house, then he ships it off to me. He then emails me the amount i owe him, then i include a little extra for gas and running around town. I send payment in form of international money order. FYI, most sellers on Y! Japan Auctions will not ship internationally. I am currently looking for a skyline steering wheel for the z32

Thats a sweet car Dave! Those are Opel wheels, arent they?

I love yahoo japan auctions. I have a friend over in Niigata who buys stuff on yahoo auctions for me and then ships it to my house. Stuff is cheap in US dollars! 4 new Z32 crank angle sensors for $80 shipped.

I plan on throwing out my entire interior, and POR-15'ing everything, and then spraying some kind of bed liner or sound deadener over that. I just read that website on sound deadeners. Cool stuff!

Haha, im in 5 lug mode, im sorry. Thanks for the info.

Good work Q. I know it hasnt been discussed yet, just wanted to let you know that the engine mounts and insulators will also work on the ZX.

Hey Herman, i see you are logged in. Any updates or new pics?

SCCA are you saying that 2 of the lug nuts are already in the correct position for a 5 lug setup? Glenn, ill pm you my cell #, you can give me a call sometime this week.

Theres one in MS right now. http://cgi.ebay.com/RB26-DETT-motorset-complete-5-speed-skyline_W0QQitemZ4591414946QQcategoryZ46093QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

After you get everything z31 on that suspension, you can bolt on z32 rotors and calipers. http://www.redz31.com/pages/brakes.html

Im working on a 79 . Where is Moser? Im interested in sending my stuff to them if the work is quality.

Try expanding foam in your rails and door sills, etc. This is next on my list afterthe 5 lug swap, and before the v8 install. Make sure you purchase the correct foam. It must be able to cure in enclosed areas. http://www.sportcompactcarweb.com/projectcars/0006scc_proj300zx/

You guys might wanna try the complete bucket out of a newer Maserati. They look almsot identical to the Datsun buckets, all someone would have to do is extend it with resin or something to match. Ive had this idea for a couple of years now. I want to fit in with the rest of southern californians who need super projector headlamps to blind everyone in front of them. http://a332.g.akamai.net/f/332/936/12h/www.edmunds.com/media/roadtests/firstdrive/2002/maserati.spyder/02.maserati.spyder.det.500.jpg http://www.superformance.co.uk/parts/dino2/246_headlight_covers1_sm.jpg

Is it possible for someone who has done the 5 lug drilling, to post a template or something? I have the z31 rotor sitting over a 280zx rear hub, and i am VERY not confident about my alignment skills.

Glenn, id like to get the 5 lug done on my zx since i have a sweet set of Rota Subzero 17x7.5 waiting to go on. Id also like to change my wheels studs before the v8 install. Also, i read about the z31 to z32 brake mod, and it looks like ill be doing that on the 280zx as well. Pics would be great!

Any updates on this, you guys? Bleach did you complete the 5 lug swap?

LoL Mike, i came across this pic last night before i went to bed. You taking all the cars with you?

Oh god, another young guy moving across the country for a girl. If i see another one of these cases, im gonna shoot myself dead. We just had an 18 year old family member move to Podunk texas to be with a white trash girl with a white trash family who cant afford to pay $300/month rent. Now he cant find a job and they live 50 miles from the nearest TOWN, not city! The reason for him moving from SoCal (who the hell moves from where everything is at?)....because they are "made for each other", and they "understand each other like nobody else does". They met each other on a website called Gaia Online. PUH LEASE Dumb kids. Dont do it man!

You will change your mind when you go on a 4,000 mile trip through Colorado and Utah with a rental '05 Cadillac Deville (i opted for NO insurance ). TRUST ME! Before that ever so stressful trip through the Grand Staircase and Zion park at 2am, 25mph because there were so many deer, i would have never shot a deer. After that night, almost plowing into 100 deer, ill glady go hunting now

Herman,you have a right hand drive zx. I have a LHD. Do you have power steering? I cant tell from the pics. I am interested in how the engine fits with power steering.
