... but for the present I can just relax, drive and enjoy.
Ahh i need to get here with my Z.
nice car man! simple and clean
-
I kept/am keeping it because everytime i pop the hood or start the car it puts a smile on my face.
-
2+2...
awesome!
what engine is planned?
-
i was in your same position about 3 years ago. but with a 240sx
i decided to keep the z. Its on jackstands as I type
but im glad i didn't jump ship. z's are unique little cars.

The used $50 header I have installed on my car is not a thick as the stock cast header. The stock header (imo) muffles some of the valvetrain?/engine noise. so that's what I meant by "increase in engine noise." maybe I'm just being a little picky.
The header barely did anything for performance on my stock l28. That is why I suggested to skip it unless further modifications are added to compliment the headers.
It's still a decent mod.
My car did sound a lot faster.
-
headers can increase engine noise unless you want that. there isn't really a big big increase on performance unless your engine is modded otherwise. i'd say just get an nice 2.5" exhaust done.. Borla mufflers sound good on the L series imo.
your wheel/tire combo is probably fine for now. I would save for the 16x8 xxr's or something similar.

z-ya. how did you even...???
bob sharp 280zx were 6-lug?
-
afaik the w58 cant hold too much and theres alot of differences between the r154 and w58. the r154 is a ton(literally) beefier
the rb20 tranny is similar to the sr tranny except it has a shorter tail end housing (don't have to shorten the driveshaft)
so if you are going for higher hp stuff though, it might still fail
there is the z32 tranny option but i don't know much about it
-
older style l28 valve cover... pull it and sell it
-
$1890(not including tranny) is a little steep when a ka,sr,rb20 transmission swap can be done for less
w58 gear ratio(supra)

those wheels are cool
like work meisers

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a front set of fairly clean zg flares!
Thanks!
just pm me
-
Yeah looking to improve the 1jz's mileage. but when looking at the windtunnel results the spoilers all seem to to reduce the drag over stock hatch, dont seem to make sense to me
what kinda of mpg's does it get anyways?
i say get a g nose. your car would look great with it while improving its aerodynamics
-
chrome lip,
all black wheels look like steelies. imo
but then again...that little color scheme you got going on might work.
-
just get it running right
these cars are awesome anyways
wheels and tires would be the best first mod
the rest of the mods are a little more demanding
as soon as you start modding one part of the car
that mod leads to the next to get it running properly and in-sync (imo)
if i were to redo my car it would be in packages like this
1. wheels/tires/brake pads
2. engine work/engine management
3 suspension/frame work/diff
exhaust is good too throw in there
-
so many injectors..
-
i will definately do this one day because after a test drive of one (in the junkyard)
i cannot imagine anything but fun coming from the small box
-
k haha
thought so
-
if it can handle a 300hp l28et i think i can handle the rb20
-
Ford Festiva
mazda 323 suspension
B6t or bpt swap
something like this has to be fun. has to be.
-
WHAT WHEELS ARE THOSE....EFFIN SICK....seriously though if any one knows the brand post it up in the original post, they are deeeep and nice.
they were the star of the video imo
-
hp would be a factor no?
-
bravo
i might get one down the road
-
wow are rx7's really that small?
and i thought z's were compact...
nice cars though
