where would i get a new intake from??
i want more performance.
and the 5 lug adaptor?
where do i get that from??

 

You can get an intake off ebay. Or MSA sells the K&N kit for $130.
As for the 5 lug adapter, ebay as well. I'm not sure who makes them though. Modern motorsports sells complete 5 lug hubs as well as break kits and coilovers for the 280zx.

 

I suggest the hubs becuase i heard adapter can cause vibration problems

 

i cant find the hubs on ebay. anywhere in aus i can get em from? what is msa?

 

Motorsport auto www.zcarparts.com go check it out man, good stuff!

 

I dont know what I would do without MSA, I just ordered all new clutch system for under 100.00 master/slave/SS line. and all gaskets, I LOVE IT!!! I didnt feel like pushing 450 HP on a 25 year old clutch system

 

BigBirdZ is right on the vibration thing, especially if you want to run an extreme offset. That vibration will cause some serious damage to your stock hubs. Thats why I recommend replacing the entire hub. Check Modern Motorsports, they'll hook you up. They ain't cheap though,but well worth it, especially if you want a wider track.

 

where abouts are all these places guys?!?! haha can u post web addys or phone numbers to please? im in aus so.

 

MSA (aka Motorsport Auto) is: http://www.zcarparts.com
Victoria British is: http://www.victoriabritish.com
Modern Motorsports is: http://www.modern-motorsports.com

There are more companies, but these are my favorites aside from Nissan itself.
Oh, and with the exception of your local Nissan dealer, all the above are located in the USA.

 

Oh, one more thing, the hubs from modern motorsports are not listed on their site, atleast I don't think they are. But if you shoot them an email, they'll quote you a price. They're very friendly and helpful. They answered every one of my email either same day or next day, and I sent them a lot. And they'll custom make pretty much anything you want. I have yet to hear a "No, we can't do that" from them.

 

hey hey hey guys i just got some new wheels for it. so any new ideas???
tell me what ya think

 

oh that is just freakin sweet!!!!

 

Very nice Cruiser!

 

you've gotta be kiddin me... not a big fan of those wheels...

 

Me neither too big, I like more meat on my tires anyway.

 

I couldn't have said it any better, so I'll just quote you. Atleast now I know big wheels will look good on my Z! I wanted a bigger rim with a smaller sidewall for the track anyways, but I didnt' know if they'd look so good for the street. Those definitely look good. Volks though baby, yeah

 

Glad you like i do.... i might be trading them for a different wheel though. but i dunno depenids... ill post other pics when i get em. but i am v happy. and for the meaty tyre guy wanna buy my old rims?? so guys what to do to my z now?

 

what kind of rims are those, where can I get them and how much? oh, what size too?

 

You should make your next mod somewhere along the line @$$hole seeking missles That way, nest time someone calls your car gay it can defend itself and save you the trouble That or something simple like some suspension mods. Those are alway fun.

 

Yah, it didnt have those wheels on it when it was called gay. But i think tinting the windows might by my next mod.... and maybe get my head machined.... dunno.
i wanna get the interior re trimmed to...

 

redone interior would definitely give your car some extra points. Especially considering the condition of a lot of these cars' interiors after 22+ years of wear and tear.

 

yeah mine is pretty good apart from the front carpet and a crack in the dash...
But i dunno whether to leather or not...

 

If you're gonna leather a cracked dash, it might be a good idea to fiberglass any areas with cracks first. That way the leather will come out nice and smooth. I love leather. Especially in cars. Some people say vinyl is just as nice, not even close. Can't beat a good leather interior. I wouldn't recommend it for the carpet though
