[What are these wires?]

Car: 1982 280zx, auto.  

 

This is where the windshield wiper reservoir would be.  I removed it to clean and noticed a hose and a wire that are open.  Any idea what these are for ow where they should connect?  I checked the Hayes manual and couldnt figure it out.  

 

The one on the bottom goes into the drivers side fender of the car.  The other goes into the engine. Just dont know where. 

 

Thanks

[New Rim Set up s130 (1982)]

Ok I can do the following: -22 with a 5" lip or -15 with a 4.5" lip

[New Rim Set up s130 (1982)]

that helps a lot.  I think I will either go with the 18x8 in he front and 18x9 in the back, or 18x9 in the front and 18x10 in the back. 

[New Rim Set up s130 (1982)]

Thanks for the info guys. So in my quest has changed where I can redo the whole rim. I'm looking to do 10" or 11" in the back and 9" in the front. From what you all know which offsets will work? 18" rim. Tokiko blue in the fromt and Bilstein yellows in the back. VoGotland springs. Tires i hope to keep in the 225/235 range

[Fitting issues with 15x9 15x10 -28 offset?]

has anyone on a s30 or s130 put 10"wide in the fronts?

[New Rim Set up s130 (1982)]

I spoke with them, they can re barrell the whole rim.  They cant flip it. 

 

So if thats the case, I what is the best offset and width size for the front and rear?  I want to have a 4" lip if possible.

 

thanks for any help you may have.

That's an idea. I will ask them. I will say that I asked there rim companies and they all said the same ratio

[Offset Help]

im glad that I saw this thread and it helps now.  Does anyone have recent photos of 18x9 or 18x10 with the offests no the chart?

[New Rim Set up s130 (1982)]

I am going to re-barrel some Racing Harts.  However, when I found the guy who can do them, he said that he can do these offsets:

 

then they can be re-lipped to 18x9 +38, 18x10 +25

 

If thats the case, how can I fit them on my S130.   Any ideas are welcome.

 

thanks in advance.
