turbo280zx Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) Hi guys, so I just want to share my new project that I'm going to be starting on very soon. Its a 77 280z. My plans are to get her road worthy at this point. The car is running and sound great. Little rust hear and there, not to bad. Floor boards need replacing. Some holes by the gas fill whole. The brake light is on and when i drive it I feel a drag.. SO first thing first is all the break calipers will be rebuilt and the drums will be inspected and replace any worn parts. My plan is to get rid of the 280z bumpers and install the front 240z bumper and shave the rear. (I love the shaved look) The wheels I got with it look really nice for now.. but I'm missing one. IF anyone can tell me what wheel I have and if you got a spare one laying around let me know. so here she is... So my goal is to have a nice reliable daily driver.. so i know it needs some rust fixed.. after that is onto the fun stuff paint! i want a pearl white with black trimming. im a make coilovers and get rota watanabe 17s with zg flairs. we will see how this pans out..

JSM Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Cool. Did that guy have a 280zx turbo for sale that was beat real bad? Those are 80's Riken wheels. Doubt they are made anymore. eBay maybe Craigslist. Copies I believe of the Enkie wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSM Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Oh NM. The fence threw me. http://orlando.craigslist.org/ctd/3089747809.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluDestiny Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Yeah those are Riken Mesh wheels, most likely 15x7. I've seen people put them up for sale every now and then, but you'd be hard pressed to just find one by itself. Probably be better off buying a new set of the enkie 92's old school meshies.
