The official "Post pictures of your wheels" thread
A couple reasons actually. I did not want any clearance issues with the lowering coils, plus the smaller OD brought the car down a bit too. I was originally looking at 225/50-15s but my tire shop had these at a really good price. I also have a 5 speed on the way too.

I don't have a lot of miles I them yet but I like how responsive they are so far. Plus I love the look!

Hey guys, I am looking for a few interior pieces for my Dad's 85 300ZX. What I am looking for are rear speaker covers, inner and outer shift boots, drivers seat cloth upholstery, and a center console lid. All pieces are for a red interior. Any help pointing me in the right direction will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

280Z has issues staying running
Hey no worries, i was doing some of the exact same research when i started digging into the fuel injection on these cars. Thanks for the link on the ebay injectors, im going to pick up a set this weekend, is there anything else i should look at while i have the fuel rail off?

280Z has issues staying running
Thank you so much for the suggestions, it turns out the cold start valve was not working properly, it would not close. I swapped it with the one in my parts car after i cleaned it out and it fired right up and ran properly. Also noticed that i have a leaking fuel injector. It looks cracked along the side of the body. Any tip on where to find a set of 6 for cheap?? Thanks again!

280Z has issues staying running
My first drive of the year didn't go as well as I had planned. The car fired up fine on the first crank although it did feel a bit rougher than I remember from last summer. took it outside to idle for a bit to let the battery charge and it barely had the power to drive out of the garage because it was running so rough. If i let the car idle on its own it will just stumble and die, it wont run unless i keep my foot in it. Judging by the exhaust i think it is burning oil too. I have checked the basics like the ignition system and the fluids, they all look fine. As far as i know this motor has never been pulled apart and rebuilt, does it sound like it is finally time?

Odd part near rear diff
That's why i was curious about what exactly it was because it looks like a hack job fix. As for damping vibrations/clunks it is not doing its job because when i let off he gas then put my foot back in it there is a nasty clunk when the power comes back on, this could be a bad transmission mount though. All of the rubber bushings seemed to be in rough shape when i inspected it

Odd part near rear diff
Ok so i had my car up on the lift today to do a general assessment of things that are going to need attention soon and i came across a few interesting things. Im sure this cant be a Datsun thing can it??? It looks like it has hit the diff a few times. Any idea what this does/what it is for??
