eightytwoturbo

Hahah, well Im just dumb It was my charge pipe loose. But now it doesnt wanna run well.. sluggish but I been playing with the timing but nothing.. Thanks though 81

Well my car has been sitting about 2 months, It fires up but about 5-8 seconds later it dies... like as if it isnt getting enough gas?? But then I hit the gas while Its idleing it immediately dies.. So i dunno what the problem is. I dont have a fuel pressure gauge to test it right now but I turned the fuel pump on with the line off to check and make sure its pumping, and it is. I searched for similiar problems but none like this.. Any help would be great???

http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=tnt-20835 no pictures but im assuming this is the same? also if i may ask the size of your intercooler?

Is there any intercooler piping kits that would work well for my 280? I live in a small town, decent welder is hard to come by.

or how about 26.5'' wide x 8'' tall x 3'' thick 2.5'' inlet and outlet?

Im looking at a intercooler right now and i think its too big lol. the core are 19.75 '' wide by 14.5 '' tall 2 1/2 inches thick. overall is 30'' wide 17'' tall 5'' thick too big to fab??? Also I heard older supra intercoolers bolt up is this true?

I drove it for about a week to work like a grandma, I do not think that was the problem, I put well over 200 miles before WOT.

thanks I was able to find the rebuild book at walmart, also does the steel gasket change anything due to thickness, like timing etc?

bummppp someone has to know a manual online or a book I can go buy?

Ouch that sucks, I feel the same way.. just want to sell it but I like the car too much so here I am trying to get some advice on how to do this heh

Well about a month ago I got my headgasket replaced at a shop, now its blown again and I was wondering if there is any helpful websites or links to getting this done... Im not what you would call "experienced" at motor work so I need all the help I can get. Its a 1982 280zx turbo, and I think the gasket the guy used is a fellpro... should I goto nissan for my next? My car is stock and I plan on it being stock for a long time.

Well I just replaced my intake/exhaust manifold gasket on my 82 280zx turbo and I take her down the road for a while, and then i lay into the gas and let off after it warms up some. Soon as I did this I hear this popping like spitting out air coming near my manifold now no idea what it is, possibly a bolt fallen out or loose? The car itself still runs great but I have this odd noise now and its really LOUD! I dont think it blew this new gasket and honestly if it did im sad.. Because it was alot of work, and I definately can hear it coming from near the manifold sounds like air pushing out, so if anyone knows what this could be let me know

Nice cars, what size tires is that on the turbo wheels on the orange one?

Cleaning all connectors was the first thing I did after a tune up heh.

Ok so ive been fighting with this thing for 2 weeks now, and still no resolved issues, I took it to 2 shops, one didnt know and the other said its my cylinder head temperature sensor?? wtf? Could this really be why my car is acting up so poorly? He also said that I have intake manifold leaks. Struggling here so if anyone knows about this sensor or what it does let me know please??

Ok I cranked her up this mornin let it warm up and what do ya know it ran 10x better! Would go all the way to redline with no hesitation and full boost. Drove it down the road and gave her some gas every now and then, I had a smile on my face that she was runnin right! I came home and parked her for about 2hours and now I crank her back up... and guess what same problems again . I guess this has something to do with fuel? Maybe water in the tank or perhaps rust? I dont know what to do but she was running so great Guess ill be trying this seafoam stuff too.... =/

Dropped new plugs,plug wires,distrubutor/rotor, fuel filter, air filter and put new fuel/oil in her and still having the same problems. Im thinking ethier timing or fuel injector? There is a slight tick like a lifter but im not sure if thats hurting it atm. No smoke at all. How I check for vacuum leaks etc? I see nothing visible disconnected or cracked.

Well I dont really know the history of it, but I pulled the plugs and everything today and wow it needs a tune up badly, everything looks pretty old heh (champion plugs). The previous owner drove it back and forth like 20 miles a day to work till he got a new car and it has been sitting there for like 2 months he said.. He even suggested it needed a tune up probably. I hope this is all thats wrong with it for now we will see . Any more help is appreciated thanks!

Well I just picked up a 1982 turbo 280ZX and it runs but with some problems, it has 74k original miles. She fires right up runs smooth but there is alot of hesitation and stutter when getting into the gas, will not go past 4k rpms most of the time, and makes a poppin hissin noise from under the hood when I lay into it.. any tips on what I need to start checking or replacing would be helpful. Timing? Fuel pump? Full tune up? or does this sound like something else?
