  1. Hey, I'm in search of front fender liners for '76 280z, and so far have Zero luck. Seems like no one sells them, and original ones are all broken and fragile :(

    Wondering if someone was able to retrofit them from a different vehicle, I don't mind if fender liner needs cutting, trimming, bending, drilling...

    (you know how someone at one point figured Toyota to Datsun front caliper conversion)

     

    Please let me know, much appreciated.

    Bit of confusion with the header situation from JCI (thought i was getting 1.5's back, but I ended up getting a reworked 1-3/4" set.  You can see the modified first primary to clear a spark plug and boot well (I'll get pics installed with MSD 8.5mm bendable boots tomorrow to show clearances).  Still might dent the drivers side primary closest to the firewall (far right in the pic below), but it should be minimal and if JCI can touch that primary up on future batches these headers should be perfect for LS swaps in 280z's.

    Thanks I appreciate it.  Good luck with your build, I'll keep an eye out for when you get going on it.

     

    Sure thing man, picked up an 04 GTO, it's been wrecked pretty bad in the front and passenger side but the motor/tranny seems good.

    So, big step ahead, now lot's of research and reading on how to make it all work lol. This forum and posts like yours are very helpful.

    Thanks

  3. Hello all, 1st post on this forum :)

    Picked up myself a 1976 280z and looking at getting new wheels and tires.

    Decided on Rota Grids V, 16x8 with 0 offset for the fronts and 16x9 for the rears.

    Slightly lowered but otherwise stock suspension at the moment...

    I've searched and 16x8 with 0 offset clears rears and barely fronts (strut side).

    So apparently rears have more room between inner wheel edge and the strut, would I be able to get away with 16x9 with 0 offset, or I have to run -15 Offset?

    Prefer to go with 0 offset wheel so I don't have to massage wheel arches much.

    Any help will be much appreciated, have a wonderful day!

    Thanks, Paul

     

    Found it, for anyone else looking for this - YES, 16x9 with 0 offset will fit 280z rear (with stock struts)

    Post by m1ghtymaxXx in the attachment below has an answer!

     

    Will 15x9 -10 wheels fit 280z - The Tool Shed - HybridZ.mht
