Sometimes when I start my car the brakes are really really firm. I generally only drive the car in five to ten mile increments. At times the brakes will stay firm the whole drive and sometimes they will get softer. The softer brakes are what I would call normal brakes for my vehicle. I have a newer, within the year booster, high quality brake fluid, SS lines, and what I think are good hoses and valve(?) that leads to the manifold. I tested the vacuum at the manifold not too long ago and it was within range. I can't remember exactly, but it was somewhere in the mid twenties. It was a cheap harbor freight tester though. Is this a normal thing that can happen every once in…

Cleaning out the attic. Just disposed of four +30 year old tires. Next step is the scrapyard. But, if anyone wants stock steel wheels, I have several very good ones. Date coded. (2) 3-72, (1) 8-72, (1) 7-73. Also have orig. Bridgestone RD-150s, date coded as well. (1) 4-72 and (1) 7-74. Tires have very minimal weather rot and are still mounted. Date codes are from the wheels. Just checking. If you want them, we can figure out shipping costs.

Hi, I am trying to figure out if these are 0riginal rims or aftermarket; I cant find the center caps, was thinking about getting custom center caps because I think the rims look pretty cool.

I thought that I'd show you guys the wheels on my car. When we first got it, the old Western Style wheels were in pretty poor shape. They had an ugly orangy red paint peeling off of them and were corroted. After taking a wire wheel to them to get all the orange paint off, we had them sandblasted. My dad then primed them and sprayed them with a PPG Silver paint and they came out beautiful! We also replaced the center caps with new ones and put the Z emblem in the middle.

I am looking at getting a set of 15 x 7 Silver Panasports for my son's '78 280Z. If I do this I'll be selling the OEM Factory Alloy 14 X 6 wheels & tires. I bought these off ebay and put a new set of 195/70HR-14 Sumitomo HTR 200's on them 02/05/2004. Two of the rims are slightly bent but balance out OK. I have driven on them and they drive well. They could be easily refinished to like new condition but I am thinking I'd rather put new Panas on the car. Just wondering what the value of the wheels/tires would be and if anyone is looking for a set of these rims. Asking $375 plus shipping. PM or email me if you are interested. Here is a pic of one of the rims & tire…

Does anyone have the solid bronze rewinds, and if so, do you have any pictures handy of a straight wide shot so I can do some photo chopping to see which look better on my brown 240z? Solid Bronze or sold gold.

Does anyone know what wheels these are? I love the look and color of this car, but I am not to sure about the flares. Do you think these wheels may be available? Do you think they sell a set that wouldn't require the flares?
