StevoSupremo had them on HybridZ (and I've got one for each side, btw :P )

and no, I'm good on the pics :P you'll find out when I order/get the wheels in :P

(unless you want to buy my pistons/valves for me, then I could order the wheels in a couple weeks and you could see them sooner ) lmfao

lol you guys do know that pic is straight from the junkyard and into my garage, right? I haven't done ANYTHING to them but buy them :P

I believe these are 7" wide, I know that they're 14" tall, which means I can just transfer the tires from my current wheels to these wheels once I've restored them.

I actually kinda like the way the tires look as is, I'll put one on my car tomorrow and see how it looks pre-restored :P

15's are too small for s130's imo.

Those look decent.

Shorter tire would look better.



I say spray the wheel face satin black, and polish the **** out of the lip. That would look good.

I hope you mean 14's because 15's is just right for my tastes, I even like certain 14's actually, I guess I'm just too old skool for everyone :P

Just so everyone knows, I personally hate black rims, and these will be painted white with a polished lip when I'm done with them

And yes, the Camaro is a '68, she's my mom's first car, and the car I rode home from the hospital in when I was born

nobody noticed my poor '69 Firebird next to the Z though... The nicest car in the whole driveway and nobody says anything about her lol

Hopefully you grabbed that rare aftermarket j-pipe too!

I'm saving my N42 intake for about 10 more years... then I'll sell it on HBZ for $500.

dude that's in a 280Z :P it's an aftermarket bolt-on turbo kit for the S30 chassis a friend of mine in the local club bought the whole kit and is going to put it in his 280Z that he just bought

The biggest reason I got this manifold though is because I wanted to put a KA throttle body on my car, but I didn't want my car down while I was porting the manifold (because I get the "while I'm at it" disease :P )

And it also allows me to cut the stock one up for my secret plans lol

Just wanted to make sure you knew what it was. You have now proven your Z knowledge.

Well, I definitely didn't expect to do this yesterday, but I did it anyways lol

What's sad is that I got the stock intake manifold off in less than 30mins, including fetching the first batch of tools, doing everything else made it take 4 1/2 hours just to put the intake back on, but I got it running last night!

yes, I know the TPS isn't hooked up, but I'm too lazy to rewire it right now :P
