   Drilled Rotor supplier 1 2

   Has anyone used rotors from this supplier? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33564&item=2451585002 A set for under $100 seems like a fair price. Wondering about quality and durability. Looking at his e-bay feedback, people were happy with the rotors when they are delivered. How about after 1K miles, 5k or 10k? Any problems with rotor wear, warping or premature cracking between the drilled holes?

   Tire Size Question

   Ok I know there have been many threads about this but I just got 6 spoke 280zx wheels for my 72 240 they are 14x 6 and was considering 2 tire sizes 205/60hr 14 and 225/60hr14 , on my old 240 which was lowered like this one will be soon had 215/60-14 with no issues , unfortunately it seems I can only find these two sizes in the speed rating and tire style I desire , is a 225 too big ? I have read that 24.75in diameter is roughly the size to keep the speedo in sync , the 225 is very close in reguard to that but questioned the rubbing issues that might happen, any help with your expierences would be appreciated:geek:

   Can I get a recommendation for a good source for a Master Brake Cylinder for a 78 280Z? I mean where to buy one, like VB or Joe's Datsun? I will consider upgrading to the ZX one if it's compareable. I eould rather have a 'new' one, but a rebuilt or reconditioned one from a trusted place should be fine. thx.

    Does anyone know of a source for new pads for the Hurst-Airheart 4 piston front and 2 piston rear brakes that were sold thru the Datsun competion catalogs of the mid to late '70's? Or does anyone know of a source that can replace friction material on my worn pads? I am putting the race brakes back onto my streetable C-Production car and want a semi-metalic pad that will work cold and wet for street and still perform for auto-x/track days. Thanks in advance, Pancho

    I have no idea what kind of wheels these are. I'm in the process of getting rid of my car, and want to be able to tell people what kind of wheels are on the car. The Eagles that are on it now are 235 60R14 Without having taken them off the car, the width seems to be about 8" Thanks, J.P. Thallarsen@aol.com

    I just got some centre caps for some wheels of mine, and I have a feeling the centre caps are a tad too large! But just before I whip out teh saw and hammer, I thought maybe there may be a trick to this. So.. is there? Or are my caps 2 mm too large? Sorry in advance for the amatuerish question. :stupid:
