Gollum Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 You must be racing in a class that doesn't allow aftermarket air dams, those bumpers are HEAVY!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaquiste Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I've got a 1980 280zx that my father and I fixed up back in about 2004, and recently bought a junked 1982 280zx turbo with an intact engine. http://s13.photobucket.com/albums/a274/blaquiste/?action=view¤t=DSC02593.jpg - 1980 280zx http://s13.photobucket.com/albums/a274/blaquiste/?action=view¤t=DSC02595.jpg - 1982 280zx turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JhnRX7 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Here is mine. It has been sitting for the past 5 or 6 years. I just started using it as my daily driver (very limited driving). Its a 1983 NA with only 73,000 miles. The headlight covers cracked so I removed them and I think I like it better w/o them. Can anyone guess the car in the last picture?

BobyYoo Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 well actually the body kit was on the car when i bought it...the only stuff i really had to do to the car was a high flo cat and exhaust, paint, clear lenses, new hood, rims, and window tinting. how much did the paint job cost you?

hughdogz Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 FD...aren't those 3-rotor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JhnRX7 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 you got it! But nope, only 2 rotor... Still lots of fun!! My plan was to start driving the Z so that I can have more time to work on the 7, however now that I have been driving the Z I have become addicted to it and find myself wanting to play with it more than the 7.

Devil-Z Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Here's the latest update to my car, just got it back from the paint shop yesterday. they still gotta buff it, but i think it turned out pretty nice. Id love some input!! Lower it! But it looks great. Nice color choice on the paint. Are those the 15" or 16" Sportmax wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JhnRX7 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 SoCal-s130, What size and offset are those wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal-s130 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 15x8 -69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 They look good. There's quite a bit of wasted space on the inside though I bet. -69 with a 8" wide rim is only going to be around 2" of backspacing, when the car can handle 5" of backspacing EASILY, and possible around 5.75" of backspacing without rub in the front. That's easily an extra 30mm of tire you could be running. What tires are on there, 225? 215? Even if they're 205 wide tires, you could be running 245 easily with a 9" rim. With a +10 9" rim you'd have 5.4" of backspacing, which I'm pretty sure would clear just fine. And it'd actually bring the tire IN about 1.8", and your currently setup looks like it might rub under extreme shock compression. I'm not trying to be a jerk, just letting you know in case you didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal-s130 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Nah it's all good. It has a 195 on it but im not feeling it. I am stretching the tire more to be able to tuck under the well. Coilovers are coming soon so it should look pretty neat. I am a fitment whore so Im getting as close to the fender as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
