first of all I built this car from ground up for the last 4 years of my life and daily drove it the last 3 months till this happened. I have gone threw everything in the book because everything is brand new from wheel bearings to headliner to carpet to suspension to engine being fully rebuilt and boosted... I can't see when I am trying to time it cause the mark jumps to far but right now in the middle of the day sense you asked for numbers and I looked I gave a guess of where it was jumping from. Also i have spun the cam gear before and had the same problem but this time around it was the first thing I checked and had no issues.

I have been threw every page of the manual and found nothing I could use for this. Sadly the timing mark does not even hit any numbers it's so far off. If I had to guess to try and better explain I'd say it bounces from 0 to 20 to 0 to 20 to 0 to 20 to 0 to 20 non stop. As we speak I just checked the hermonic ballancer and that has no play. I put it to TDC and the rotor was pointing to #1 so I did not spin the cam gear or anything random like that =\

I have also tried a total of 3 ecus and had no change, the inductive timing light pickup is def not too close to another plug wire as well

which facts would you like? I don't really know how to explain it... I am trying to time my 1983 280zx turbo. The timing mark jumps constantly back and forth from retarted to advanced

I think i may have posted this twice? Sorry if I did =\ Soooooo still trying to figure out why my timing mark is constantly jumping back and forth. Just put in a new crank angle sensor and had no change. I have been searching all over, reading anything and everything just to get no where.. I can't seem to find anyone that has seen this or similar to. Anyone have any advice or had this problem... love to get some help.. Tried -cap and rotor -plug wires -plugs -Ignition coil -harmonic balancer -new crank angle -different timing gun -no play in dizzy or shaft

Would you be able to send pics and if I pay for shipping would you also be willing to ship?

Sacramento.

I'm looking for a turbo long block. Also need an ecu and wiring harness.

lol it's even better when your the one making it go sideways but yeah I can try to get some vids and keep you posted on that.

Yeah not sure I did hear that the Exedy clutch kit stage 1 is a good clutch..? any idea on that ?

Two of my friends and myself all drift the 280zx we have set coil overs and what not weld the dif (spider gears) more work is needed but it can be done

I just bought a 280zx 1980 looks good runs good and is slow! I am going to do some upgrades but I need to get a clutch and bad! Any ideas for a nice race clutch! Sorry for the dumb question I don't know much about cars.

Well that would have brought me into the driver seat too! ha looks good!
