those are HEAVY steel wheels, I've seen a few on 280ZX's, but mostly on trailers and trucks to be honest.

Do people still say "Hella" "mad" and "tight"? I thought that slang died when those wheels started rusting :P

What size are the wheels? If they are 15", and you have 4 of them. I may be interested in them. Let me know.

Ok I searched but I didnt come up with anything helpful. Sense I have a Z32 that will not be running again for a LONG time, can I take its seats to and put them into my 280ZX w/o damaging them so when I do get that 300ZX running I can just put them back in?

it depends on hao wide the seats are, if they're not too wide to fit between the door and the center console, then you could make adaptors out of aluminum oar something too bolt them down... other than that I haven't seen Z32 seats in person so I can't say foar sure.

They actually seem to have the exact same size and style of bolt pattern. I might just take the seat out and try it lol

Actually yes, you can put those in your 280zx. It is a direct bolt-on. A moderator on here, put Z32 seats in her 280zx. She said they were comfortable. The only drawback was, having to open her door to adjust her seats. But other than that, she was quite happy with them. I will try and find the post she made about that.

Here are a couple threads I found on installing the 300zx Z32 seats. Hope this helps. I did try to find the particular post. About how she installed them in her 280zx. But this should give you an idea, that it is doable. Good luck man.

I tried it and while they do fit BARELY in a 280ZX the rails would have to be changed.

Thanks!

Dumb question again. How would a fresh built but broken in (1100 miles) N/A engine with ARP hardware hold up to 5psi of intercooled boost?

Don't forget a MLS headgasket...

5psi at the proper a/f ratio... it will hold up very well.

Yes with the proper a/f of course.

Heh I got my tasted of boosted power with that 300ZXTT Now I want boost on my 280ZX lol

I got my 300ZX seats to fit with the stock 280ZX rails with some small adjustment and a bracket... When its time to change back my 280ZX seats will just bolt back in without any problems.

Ah thats what I sorta figured and I might look into it later as I might have that 300ZX back on the road sooner then I thought.

Blue, I find it kind of creepy that as soon as I get a 1972 Chevy Camaro, and do a search for a link to download an FSM for it, I get linked to one of your posts on camaroforums. Sorry, this is mildly off topic, but I just had to say it. Lmao!
