Toys in the Garage - 300zx + R888's

[Boomin33]

Being working on the car that's gone less than 500 miles since 2006! just fitted 740cc injectors, Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator, AN fittings +

Bought some R888's and then some Advan T7's...

The T7's showed up with pretty new tyres on them, so stuck them on. F

SS already said the thought they were a bit thin... or was it 'wimpy' for a muscle car.... thoughts?

Some more muscular rims.....maybe a bit bling on one of them.

Preferences? Looking at these photos makes me think one thing, for certain. "sell some wheels...."

Great car,I think it looks excellent as it is, love the old *** twin turbos, had a 3000GT and a Fairlady (with a bit of bling of course)

[Sudesh]

Love the 300ZX's! I've had I think 8 of them, only 1 or 2 were kitted when I was younger, then after that I just loved the standard ZX right down to original radio, white is my favourite color in them too.

I also like the 3000GT/GTO

Currently have this one

always wanted a 3000GT... yours looks mint. liking the chrome alloys.

Boomin, I am in agreement with SS, think the NSX suit fairly chunkier spokes wheels rather than thin. :)

Do the Khans on the NSX fit the ZX?

Hi Rob,

IMO the T7's are ok but would benefit from some lip ... good to see you've kept it and still keen to enjoy it!

Yep, should fit straight on... so Yes.. Will be changing the wheels again on the 300 at some point in the future. The slightly beefier look will proabably suit.

Think I'm going to Throw the Toyos on the Advans and just put them in the Garage for a few 300zx Track Days I can get out of them.

I Got the Advans alloys for £160 and the Toyos (255's+235's) for £150. ebay bargains.
The advans are something like $450 each new... and they showed up with 5mm tread Pilot Sports. (265's+225's)

they were advertised like this. http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o136/boomin33/th_advanAVS-T7.jpg (http://s119.photobucket.com/albums/o136/boomin33/?action=view&current=advanAVS-T7.jpg)

£160 for 4 Advan alloys wheels , I say thats a bargain!
