Since a car can never be finished, this one is just almost done Have owned this car for over 8 years and still only has 92,xxx original miles! I have been on here for a long time but never really posted. Thought I would share the work before I post the car for sale. I will try to make this as informative as possible for those that will be going down this route I am running z31 front suspension with z32 calipers -z31 front spindles shocks rotors and custom lengthened lower arms Tokico shocks with ground control coilovers -tokico front z31 shocks with standard s130 rears with welded perches T3 front camber plates and front tension rods - cut the top with a 3"(i think) cup saw and fit pretty well Upgraded front sway bar and poly bushings stock motor with low miles Custom side mount sr hks intercooler with tial bov -Wanted to keep my a/c and everything so it was pretty hard to fit both pipes through to the front adjustable fpr msd fuel pump greddy pov running 9psi stock downpipe, stock cat with custom catback Wheels/tires rota 17x9 -13 fronts and 17x9.5 -19 rears 215/45/17 fronts and 235/45/17 rear<-- this was for my fronts that didn't fit so I used it in the rear - 17x9 -13 front wheel not fit this setup, i had to run i think 5mm to be able to clear the calipers -I did not want to run stretched tires but the z31 front setup made the offset much higher which i didn't account for before purchasing. Since my fronts were flush i had to run spacers in the rear to match the stance from this like 5 years ago to this in its current condition

Nukabe is no longer in business and you would have to contact the new headquarters of CUSCO USA in CA. I am also a stance dealer and can order them if anyone is interested

hey bluezx, any update on your progress? wanted to know if running the z31 setup you have changes the offset since you are running z31 hubs?

if it makes anyone feel better, i think megan is made in taiwan and emusa is made in china

i read through some pages but didnt have it, maybe i missed it wondering if the 17x9 or 17x9.5 wheel setup leaves room for a bbk upgrade in the front? this is for a 280zx, since many have 240z with upgraded brakes, not sure if there is a difference in clearance issues

yea, i have personally looked into them and have call to find more info. Just like any front 280zx setup you have to cut and weld. like mentioned above, they are not the greatest of products but do get the job done if the job was to just lower the car on coilovers. Very popular for basic suspension upgrades since the price is affordable. i actually get them a little cheaper from a local shop if anyone wants a set of ksport or d2 racing since both are made from the same factory so both recently added it to their site. Custom order 10 business days from overseas to anywhere in the states

looking for a good working complete distributor for my 83 280zxt, send me some picture and your price, need one asap as this might be the problem to getting my car up and running

i do work wheels, pm me specs and details and i can get you a price. i can provide you with preference and other info so you know who your dealing with, im actually a retail shop and you can give me a call when you order

i gotta give my guys a call to see if i can get these, maybe i can get a better deal for you guys since it seems like theres a good amount interested. unless all of you already ordered

got any rear shots of that green car or in brown, either one?

if you ever think you want more hp, i say do it right since your redoing your motor. i saw your engine setup and like everyone says, capable of alot more. you say never over 400hp. but thats what alot of others on here said too. espcially since it wont cost much more beucase people will buy your premade setup your piping seems pretty big though, so even if you did. probably only need to upgrade the core

thanks for the replies guys, but thats not it either. guess not many saw it back than. this is like a year ago since ive been on

i actually found that one looking for the other one. the one im talking about has a site full of 280zx and mostly watanabe panasport wheels
