Wow...that looks great! Congrats. Yasin

Ice for the air to water intercooler.. Nice find Jeff.

I agree 101% 1) No glass 2) All rusted 3) Destroyed interior 4) 1 45mm carb on a L28 with a turbo...ticking timebomb 5) Rusty rusty...probably seized motor too $1500?? He would have to give me $1500 to take it.. Yasin

Beautiful car. Clean clean clean! Love the fab work especially the intake manifold. Almost 410whp+ amazing!! Congrats. Yasin

Those turbos are so close to the block and harness...any issues with the heat melting wiring, sensors etc...is the fit that tight...wow! Nice fab work...beautiful actually. Yasin

Sadly no Z31 or S130 cars. And why G35 cars, if this is a "Z-Car" calender? Yasin

Agree with JSM..seems like there is some contradiction. Does FWD and Turbo mean double FTW? Yasin

I am not sure I agree with all the comments. I ran the large Isuzu NPR for several years and currently running a custom and very large x-flow intercooler now with 2.5" inlet and outlet with a TiAL BOV and stock EFI and my car runs great..no idle issues and no shaking etc. My TiAL is vented to atmosphere and before that I ran the HKS SSQ and also had it vented to atmosphere..again no issues. In fact at 12psi the car ran incredibly. I am thinking you have a leak somewhere. Yasin

Good feedback and thread! How was the weekend Jeff...did you see the pics of PlanetZero on Houston Imports? Yasin

Looking awesome as always!!! Keep those pics coming. One of the most incredible S30 builds. Yasin

To be honest a little torn on this build. The 500E W124 is an ultra rare car...wish he would have started with a more mundane 4 Cyl or 6Cyl W124 than taken one of the rarest Benzes of all time. There is nothing left of the 500E not even the original key! Yasin

LOL +1, sorry to hear Jeff Would be interesting to see what a feeler gauge and a flat edge across the block show? Yasin

Correct!

Wow. Great numbers Jeff! Congrats. I was back in Colorado on the weekend and drove my car, it was great to drive my car again. X-fingers I can bring it down soon. Going to Planet Zero on Saturday evening? Yasin

I am over on the West side off Hwy 6 just north of Westheimer. My car is wearing about 50% factory paint (26year old!) and the rest of the car was painted by a friend of mine when I lived in Colorado. Yasin

You are a far braver man that I...at the end of the 7.56 run looked like you were drifting toward the wall...pucker factor! Congrats are definitely in order. Yasin

It is a billet wheel so could be: 1) Centerlines 2) Even an older Boyds 3) An older Colorado Custom, Budnik, Billet Specialities the list goes on... Yasin

"Oh yeah"....one of the nicest cleanest 280Zs I have seen beautiful, paint, stance, wheels and tough all around. Love it...sweet touch with the LED rear lights. Great video too. Congrats on an excellent car. Yasin

Mine: Yasin

John - If you want to contribute $40K to purchase a nice B series "S" for Scotty or over $100K for an RS (or even a replica)...then please do so...sheeesh man. Yasin

If you are considering 911s, I am 101% confident that you will be happy with this choice. These cars are FAR FAR superior to the Ferrari 308s you originally were asking. As an owner and working on mine and several 911s over the years….here is what I will say: For the Normally Aspirated cars: 1) Stay away from pre 1980 cars. 2) Try and buy a 1988 or 1989 3.2L car, as these have the beautiful G50 5 speed gearbox and 218/222hp. The pre ’88 cars have the “OK†915 gearbox and 200hp. In bold “1988 and 1989 models are THE most desirable†in this genre. 150,000 miles no problem..without even looking at the motors or breaking a sweat. Expect to pay $18-$20K US for a nice one (do not be put off by a high mileage car if it has been well maintained). As a BTW…post ’78 cars were galvanized, so were well treated for rust prevention. 3) If looking at an early car i.e ‘70s be careful, lots of cobbled together cars, with iffy rust or crash repair. Many of these early cars are made from other cars bolted together (I guess similar to our Datsuns…LOL). Also what type of carbs and engines are on these early cars…be VERY careful. 4) 1990 and 1991 models have issues as they are 12plug motors with one distributor driving the other with a rubber belt…VERY problematic cars (especially the C4 AWD models). 1992-1994…VERY desirable…beautiful looking as well…3.6L..super reliable, great AC, heat, power everything…they take the ’88-’89 cars to the next level. EXCELLENT performance. Turbo cars… Pre ’89 can be had for as low as $20K for a running but maybe higher mileage and needing cosmetic work. Brutal fast…they take extremely well to modifications. VERY reliable and easy to drive even with the dated 4speed. BEAUTIFUL to look at..hand made as well. Bottom ends good for 150K and top ends typically will require a rebuilt around 100K (miles not km). Also pretty much all air cooled Porsches weep or drip a little oil, so do not be put off by that…its part of the charm of ownership. Parts…nice and cheap…and VERY available. 1) Brake pads same price as a Datsun 2) Distributor caps, plugs and wires same price as a Datsun 3) Clutches and brakes service items same price as a Datsun Need I say more….? Great enthusiast and forum support too. Porsche ownership is blissful. Yasin
