banzai510(hainz) Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 on 510 struts you weld the new perch at the same place where the old one when you run +25mm 15x7s. If 6in you can get away with maybe a lower prech. also I went to a 7 inch tall spring instead of the standard 8 inch otherwise I wouldnt get the Rake look i wanted, But with 280zx you have 3/4inch inward of rim movment. But a 0 offset rim in back might cut it close and fenders might need pulling it you want the same dish rim look. I dont know if a +12,15 will work up front on a 280zx or come close to the strut or the collor if the perch is lower. Just beware. 1 Quote Link to comment
Janksun Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 I ripped my drain plug out once, didn't damage the threads somehow. Nor the oil pan haha. 1 Quote Link to comment
DARIN 510 Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Kalani. My situation is different I guess. I have two 510s one that has been recently totaled that has the blue plates and the white 510 that I just bought which has the newer white plates. So when I went to register the white one in my name I told them I would like to put the blue plates from the yellow one onto the white one. They told me I can't do that. They couldn't tell me why I can't. They just told me to buy the blue repops whenever they're available. Quote Link to comment

You won't be able to use the plates until they have fallen out of the system....... ......I tried to use the plates from my Z and they said I couldn't becuz it was still "in use"........ 1 Quote Link to comment
demo243 Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 my banzai car has +25 offset rims and I had to take out my bumpsteer out also as it was a 510 strut. The perch has to be higher as the +25mm 15x7 rim will hit the strut tube. Hsad Icehouse machine the spacer more but still wouldnt work and its in a pile of parts to donate. 280zx you ca run zero offet and the spring perch can be lower one can cut the threaded colloar also I gues to shorting it up so it dont hit the top I've got 15x7 +25s on mine... With stock 510 struts... But I am not as low as you, also with my 205s I need a 10mm spacer to clear the strut housing. Definitely something I am going to need to pay attention to when I go to coil overs Quote Link to comment

INDY510 Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Most street signs are aluminum. That's why they don't rust. .. and I doubt anything thicker than 16-18ag steel would help our thin oil pans 2 Quote Link to comment

Janksun Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 But that extra little bit of metal in front of our oil pans will definately be better than nothing! I could care less if the oil pan gets smashed haha Quote Link to comment
shacks510 Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Exactly what I'm going to do.Dude! You're not supposed to admit to having one, let alone showing it online!! That's why I worded it as a suggestion lol. I'm not allowed to say whether or not I have one. If I did have one, no one would know about it :) 1 Quote Link to comment
