This weekend I was on my way to take my car to get dynomax exaust... well i didnt make it, my whole tire and rim flew off my car and thank god nothing happened to the 280.. but I lost my rim that hit a curb flew over at least 2houses and is now lost.. i need to know wher I can find another original rim for the 280zx

 

2 houses!!! That's AWESOME! good job

Well, take a pic of the kind of wheel you have or find an example online and post the pic up. We'll help you out.

 

Right on, I am buying new wheels and tires soon... will have a set avail. soon.

 

Holy crap dude. Didn't you feel it start to wobble before it flew off? Next time make sure those lug nuts are tightened properly.

 

They have a couple of rims down here in the sa junk yard if your willing to make a road trip.

 

Dude! Somebody could be DEAD from that thing flying through the air!

How fast were you going? It must have been a wheel from the rear. If it had been the front, you would have totally munged up your rotor when it hit the ground from hitting the brakes.

Tell us what type of wheel you had...

Where are you located?

 

here sombody did die....a semi tire went off and went into the oncoming traffic...hit a car right smack dab in the middle of the windshield....

 

So did the tire hit their heads and cause their skull to burst and fly all over the inside of the car? that interrior would sure be skully right about then...

 

Thnxs* well yea my rims started to wobble and the streering pulled sharp to the left for a sec,.... then I saw my rim and tire fly off one way and I went the other way @48mph. not to shabby, i handled the car fine and nothing happen to the brake rotor, but anyway yea I will post a pic of the rim soon. (thnxs for the replies)

 

I would grab a yellow pages and call every junk yard to find out about getting another wheel.

 

what wheels are they? i have a set of 280 wheels

 

I do too, if I got the ones you need, then make an offer. The ones I got are off a 1980 280ZX.

 

yea,THNXS for all the help from everyone, im getting the "honda racing spoon rims" ther about 500$ a rim, but my friend is letting me use them as long as i want, yea I know ther honda rims but at least i will be back on the road

 

Uhhh... Do you have adapters to make those honda wheels fit? You need at least a 1.5" thick adapter and it needs to go from 4 on 4.5, to 4 on 100.


Rod.

 

yea they fit perfect... and today i just went back to the shop wher i had to pick up my n2o purge kit i ordered.. and ther he had two 280zx's with the sr20dett engine(skyline R34) both dammm fast

 

Sorry, the R34 didn't come with an SR20, it came with an RB26DETT. VERY different motor. The SR20 is a 4 banger and the RB26 is an inline 6 like our L28's.

 

I saw an R32 Skyline GT-R last night. It was pretty nice but not as impressive as people make it out to be. I never saw it actually move though so maybe I didnt get the full effect haha. It did sound good and looked clean.

 

Sure you're not thinking RB26dett? Skyline never came with the SR. Smallest engine it's had since the induction of the GTR, is the RB20, which is still a 6. Either way, RB or SR, awesome engines. And even better in a Z

 

idk thats what the guy told me. That they were SR's and both had the exact same set up..both were painted blue with blk rims, same turbos, B.O.V's, sparco seats...everythin the same couldnt tell them apart and I asked how much HP (of corse) and he wouldnt tell me all he sayed was "well over 500..."

 

I'm not one to judge. I haven't seen them. But if they are SR's they didn't come from a skyline, thats all I'm saying. I've seen SR's put up numbers like that, but they weren't streetable at all. Oh, no not personally, I'm talking seen as seen in magazines. I like your sig. It's nice to see someone with realistic goals and not shooting for 6 sec quarter miles with an NA L28 in the car they commute to work every day in stop and go traffic
