You can get an intake off ebay. Or MSA sells the K&N kit for $130.
As for the 5 lug adapter, ebay as well. I'm not sure who makes them though. Modern motorsports sells complete 5 lug hubs as well as break kits and coilovers for the 280zx.

BigBirdZ is right on the vibration thing, especially if you want to run an extreme offset. That vibration will cause some serious damage to your stock hubs. Thats why I recommend replacing the entire hub. Check Modern Motorsports, they'll hook you up. They ain't cheap though,but well worth it, especially if you want a wider track.

MSA (aka Motorsport Auto) is: http://www.zcarparts.com
Victoria British is: http://www.victoriabritish.com
Modern Motorsports is: http://www.modern-motorsports.com
There are more companies, but these are my favorites aside from Nissan itself.
Oh, and with the exception of your local Nissan dealer, all the above are located in the USA.

Oh, one more thing, the hubs from modern motorsports are not listed on their site, atleast I don't think they are. But if you shoot them an email, they'll quote you a price. They're very friendly and helpful. They answered every one of my email either same day or next day, and I sent them a lot. And they'll custom make pretty much anything you want. I have yet to hear a "No, we can't do that" from them.

You should make your next mod somewhere along the line @$$hole seeking missles That way, nest time someone calls your car gay it can defend itself and save you the trouble That or something simple like some suspension mods. Those are alway fun.

If you're gonna leather a cracked dash, it might be a good idea to fiberglass any areas with cracks first. That way the leather will come out nice and smooth. I love leather. Especially in cars. Some people say vinyl is just as nice, not even close. Can't beat a good leather interior. I wouldn't recommend it for the carpet though
