  1. Thank you everyone! I really appreciate it 🙏 Message received and I will hunt for best quality 195/70R14s I can get here in Qatar. Although choice is extremely limited. My mechanic recommended these with the white stripe (if I wanted something different) but not sure I have seen any 280z with this type of tire. Has anyone seen 280z with white stripe tires before? Maybe I should stick with period correct Yokohama or Bridgestone black wall tires.

  2. Yes me too, they look great especially with the old alloys.
  3. Hi All, Normally I can answer any question I have using all available sources on the internet but with this question I want to confirm with this community before pressing the buy button. I have a stock standard 1977 280z. I have purchased and reconditioned a set of 14x5.5 Nissan alloys (see pictures). I live in Qatar so tire choices are extremely limited. I can get some basic Yokohama ES32 in 195/70R14 if I want a stock black wall look. However I am tempted to import some BF Goodrich Radial TA's in either 225/60R14 or 205/70R14 at 4 x times the cost - because I love the look. My question is that with 5.5 inch wide alloys can I definitely get away with the 225/60s (which have a similar circumference to stock) or do I have to go with the 205/70s (which have a taller/larger circumference)? I have read a lot of people saying that 225s are OK, however I worry that they have 6 inch wheels not 5.5. At 4 x the price of the tires I can get locally I really don't want to get it wrong. Thank you for your help (and please feel free to share pictures in your response).
  4. Wow! Could have just got you to print the mirrors rather than rescuing old beaten up one 🤣
  5. Thank you, that is a good back up plan if I can't find any. Thank you for the suggestion.
  6. Hello, I have read through threads from years ago and read that some members had been cleaver enough to 3D print Racing Mirrors Gaskets. I am rescuing a scrapped pair of mirrors and wondered if anyone had the 3D design they could email to me and I could then get to work finding a way to print them? Any help would be wonderful. Here are pictures to clarify what I am looking for... Thank you.
