Wheels & Brakes

I have been looking for some natural finished Watanabe's for my 260z. I wanted 15 by 7j. How would these fit on my car? Would the tires stick out of the wheel wells? Do I have to get special lugnuts for them? If so, how hard are the lugs to find. Thank you. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=43955&item=2426679735 -Ben

and the person selling them sure is proud. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7965898637&category=66481

I really like the dish on these wheels, but he does not know the offset. The lip is about 2" on the rear wheels and 1" on the front. Any opinions on wether these would look good/bad on my Z? Is the offset okay? I think it is, but I would like a second opinion. Thanks, Ben http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33741&item=2442084238

Possible to get these rims in Aus?? Similar to superlites? Nick

Hi, saw these on Craig's List Seattle. They're not mine, but maybe someone here would be interested. Not sure if you get both sets for the same price, but here's the listing: http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/car/187625633.html Gary

Not the best example I've seen before but they seem like a good deal. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-WATANABE-14-RIMS-DATSUN-510-240Z-AE86_W0QQitemZ8039002675QQcategoryZ43954QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I just got my car back together after a motor swap (1970 240z). Let me begin by saying my brakes worked fine last year when I parked the car. I had the front lines, MC, and booster out of the car for an engine bay repaint, and everything went back in when done. Now after re-assembly, the brakes are weak. High pedal effort is required for even moderate stopping power. The pedal is fairly hard without spongyness, but it does have longer travel, and there is less than half normal braking power when i push as hard as I can. In addition, the brake warning light on the dash comes on with anything more than light effort on the pedal, so basically anytime the pedal is depre…

Here are the symptoms: -When engine is not running, the brake pedal feels firm. -When engine is started, brake pedal is light. Giving it a few pumps makes it a bit better. -There is a bit of play in the pedal when the engine is running. -The brakes are weak, but not spongy. Replacing the booster improved it somewhat. Here is what I've done to the brakes so far: -Replaced brake booster with a remanufactured one (old one was leaking from the shell). -Replaced brake lines with braided stainless steel lines. -Bled master cylinder -Bled brake lines, rear first. What's the diagnosis?

KYUSHA SHOES I don't imagine the teddy bear wheels were a big seller.
