realizing that the pics are of a work in progress, i'd say it's a good start, though i think i'd like it in CF and with the scoops farther forward, with vents towards the rear to let air flow over the engine. just my 2 copper.

why? cuz i've got an idea stuck in my head and i'd like to see how it would work out. of course it'd also be less expensive to go with the L28ET i have, and do all the upgrades to it. the largest problem for the project as i have it envisioned right now, is getting parts from across the various ponds in the way (from AUS and Europe) at a reasonable cost

any input on what's required for the turbo version? or has no one tried it yet? likewise, has anyone tried to put a newer turbo diesel engine in a 81-83 zx? i see that the Patrol has the RD28Ti engine, i'm sure i can get one if i tried hard enough, just would like to know if it'd be difficult/nearly impossible to put in and get to fit. anyone happen to know ( or know where to find out) if the engine mount points in the Patrol 160 and Y61 are the same or damn close to it?

currently have an 81 280ZX GL (turbo, t-tops, pwr windows/mirrors, etc) want to swap out the L28ET for a diesel, my questions are : between the LD28T or RD28Ti, which would get better performance/fuel economy/upgradability? will the RD28Ti fit directly (or does it require a bit of adaptation?) in an 81-83 280ZX? thanks in advance
