I remembered that a few years ago I had seen an article on a shop in England that was building a very small V8 from two Suzuki Hayabusa 1300cc motors. It used the Suzuki heads with a V block that the shop had cast for them. I looked it up and it looks like they are in production now. This thing would be perfect in a Z! It's supposed to be small, Very light weight, will rev to 10,000 RPM and makes 330 HP! What more could you ask for! http://www.radicalextremesportscars.com/range/sr8/sr8.php

81 Diesel Maxima. Can't go wrong. And if it ever dies you can scavenge the crank and sell it on E-bay to recoup your losses.

When I was a kid we did'nt need no stinking cell phones. We just wrote messages on scraps of paper, tied then to rocks and threw them through someones window. Scuse me, I gotta go yell at the kids to get off my damn lawn!

You know, it seems to be an epidemic of huge proprtions with America's youth, that they can't type a clear, concise, legible thought on the internet. Punctuation is your friend and makes you better understood. This mess of a run-on sentence is painful to decipher. What is "these" that you are refering to? There is no description of "these," or a picture of "these," so we can't help you.

How the hell do you crack an L-series block? If you really cracked the block you did something VERY wrong. I don't think I have ever seen or even heard of anyone cracking an L block. Punching holes in the side yes, but no stress cracking.

I'll actually be doing the same thing with my 83 ZX. A good friend of mine who is very knowledgeable abou Z cars ran stock turbo on his flat topped F54 block and P90 head. It was about a 9:1 compression ratio and was intercooled. It ran fine. He said stock boost (about 7 PSI) on a F54 flat top block and P79 head should be just fine. With the stock head gasket.

Both MSA and Black Dragon carry many stock replacement and performance parts. There are also a few places that carry used items. The Z barn and Zedd Findings carry new and used parts. and E-bay is always a good source for parts. Arizona Z Car, Modern Motorsports, and some other places have quite a few performance parts.

If I remember right, the front flares are stock Z31 flares from the 86-89 models, Cut out and welded into the stock 280ZX fenders. I think the rear ones are Skyline flares. Nothing on this car, save for the airdam, is available as a kit. It was all custom. It's got fiberglass doors and hood, and the entire rear suspension from a Z32 has been grafted in. It's sweet!

What sort of parts are you looking for? Stock replacement parts or performance parts?

I used to have those very same Enkei wheels on the 2+2.

Bosozoku. It's apparentlly a sort of a car sub culture in Japan, wherein they take the ideas of real race cars and exaggerate them to cartoonish levels. I think the super long pipes probably spring from the look of the old Bosozoku motorcycle gangs that rode around on ridiculous looking motorcycles with real tall exhaust pipes. Supposedly Bosozoku were a sort of pre Yakuza breeding ground. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84fzogNFf10

That's actually the stock 280Z front valence. Not an airdam.

Here's pics of my beater 76 2+2.

The SportMax wheels look great on a ZX! I'm hoping to get a set before October.

This S130 belongs to the President of the Japanese Z car Club. It was shipped over to the U.S. twice. Last year for the Z convention in Dallas. and 2 years prior to Long Beach for the convention there. It's a 500-700 HP beast with an RB26DETT from a Skyline.

It's in June sometime right? In San Antonio? I'm gonna try and make it. Maybe make it a club event.

No it doesn't slant to the rear. Post pics. I'd like to see this.

Yes I remember you.

They are canted slightly to allow a lower hood line in the Z. I don't see a problem mounting it straight up and down. Though I am surpised that it fit in a hard body.

Just thought I would also post pics of the sweetest S130 I have ever personally laid eyes on. Some of you should know this car.

I'll add my 2 cents. Here is my 83 280ZX. It's got early ZX bumpers and B-pillar trim, 14x7 A.R.E mesh wheels and the Xenon urethane air dam. It's lowered with eibach springs. Right now the only performance items on it are a custom 2.5" exhaust with high flow cat and some old random flowmaster I had laying around, and an E-Bay intake. I am going to turbocharge it as well, but instead of doing a complete L28ET swap, I'm going to put all the stock turbo components on this N/A motor. This is a pic of when I first got it.

Don't need no sticking tranny jack. A good, large floor jack works just fine. And if its the 4 speed, you just bench press it.

I had the pivot ball for the clutch fork break off the original 4 speed in my 280Z. Luckily though, First gen Z cars tranny's are easy to remove and replace.

N42 is non-egr. I got you beat though. I scored a non-EGR webbed ZX manifold from a pick'n'pull for $15.00.
