  1. power went down to 135 hp in 79. They kept the dished and it had the same compression, valve seat angle changed, crank and rod are the same, but not sure what they did to mke it so low.
  2. My avatar isnt my car, I saw it on ebay and thats what Id like to go for paint wise, and just thought it was a nice car. Anyways me and my dad are restoring a 78 2+2 and it had bad rust in the drivers floor, and the other spots I told you about. We had to go find a rust free floor from a 2+2 and I had a friend of ours cut it out then weld it in. Im only 15 so Im having to be careful on my budget so I wont be doing a perfect restoration. Were trying to just preserve the car, so I can find every bit of rust and correct when Im older. But if you will be doing a total restoration youll have to make each layer of the unibody in the back then weld them in to be totally rust free. On the doors, theyre I think 4 inches longer and we had to find new rust free 2+2 doors at a junk yard (lucky). If rust spots are only on the surface you can grind it to good metal then rust kill it. But if it has gone all the way through the panel its best to get rid of all the rust and patch it because it will spread. I think the 2+2 are alot nicer so all the work will be worth it. Hope I helped.
  3. WOW!! You can see that hightech Jet Hot Coating chipping off. Rattle can paint would never do that......... He purpously made the overspray on the head, overspray adds atleast 70hp........ 78 280z 2+2
  4. Rollover SUV's use larger wheels the extend off the side of the car to prevent it from rolling. If they were testing the rollover safety wouldnt they use stock suspension?
  5. These are the kind of people that make me have no hope in life. It is bad enough the Viper is in drifting but not a real MOPAR muscle car. Who cares if people are drifting 240sx and japanese cars no ones heared of, just dont touch real cars(mopars and z's). 78 280z 2+2 Project car
  6. Planning to do some snow plowing with that air dam?
  7. Hi I was wondering how you smoothed out the are below the tailights. Did you weld pieces over the indents or just make a new piece. Thanks
  8. First the car looks really clean does it just look good or do you know if it has cancer. I have a 78 2+2 that has cancer and parts are very hard to find for the rear fenders and rocker panels we had to use coupes and cut them and weld them to make it work. I love 2+2's and wish theyd make more parts:cry: . Just as a reminder any 2+2 part you find jump on it before its to late. 1978 280z 2+2
  9. I forgot... I have a 1978 280z with stock L28 with stock TB.
  10. Hi I recently bought the 240sx tb to make the swap. Im going to be using the spacer from Graytech Software. It has the coldstart valve hole on so Id be good on that but, I read some of the comments by Zcarnut, and Im becoming somewhat hesitant. I was just wondering If anyone could show everything you need to do to make this work. Thanks
