I bought my pistons from this guy, he was very helpful and shipped quickly: http://www.store.partsdinosaur.com/page278.html#1259 And there is also Top-End Performance which sells a lot of stuff and should have or sell most anything needed for an L-series rebuild: http://www.racetep.com/zturboeng.html http://www.racetep.com/z510card.html

Damn, wish they had this two months ago before I bought a BRE spoiler.

I got mine on ebay. The listing had a picture of the calipers and they came with the brackets/hangers or whatever. I probably need to get them rebuilt.

You also need the custom brake lines.

Those are some surprising results and have made me reconsider my future tire choices. Thanks for the link.

They are not the same. Here is a chart that may help (not mine):

For something with 150k on it and he doesn't know if it runs or not, I'd probably offer $200. I picked up a complete "running" L28ET w/ BW T5 for $250. It didn't come with the ECU or wiring but came with everything else.

What is the lifespan of a nice steel braided fuel line?

Where can you buy & order new pintle caps without having your injectors sent out for cleaning? Either online or brick & mortar.

I have run Falken Azenis on my past few cars after Yokohama stopped making the AVS Intermediates. I loved the Azenis on my 350Z. I went through a few sets and a few track events. Azenis are what I'm going to be running on my 240Z. I had an Integra GSR before with Azenis and switched temporarily to Yokohama ES100's...those were definitely inferior to the Azenis in every condition except rain which is not the Azenis strong suit. I got caught in about .5"-1" of snow in my 350Z with Azenis...the car was basically completely useless with the rear constantly wanting to be in front. Also, the Azenis dont like temps under 40 degrees.

Wow, his car is beautiful. I haven't seen it in person but my friend Ryan has told me that it sounds incredible up close. Does he still go to meets or hangout at any local car spots? I'd like to know more about his R32 GTR front brake setup and his front struts from an R31 Skyline. What is the advantage to using the struts from an R31, and do they use the same or similar hubs as a S30? I wish he'd update his website more often or at least with a list of current parts he has for sale or can get.

I've heard of them too...never talked to the guy or bought anything, although I did want to buy his extended spark plug wires. The address looks like a residence.

Mine is also a .63A/R on a T3/T04B with the stage V wheels.

This thread amuses me, it also made me realize I am probably the only person on this message board that listens to what I do. Its probably not your cup of tea. I imagine not many of you listen to hip-hop either? I'm 28 but I've listened to electronic music since I was 14/15yrs old after I heard a Ministry album and fell in love with industrial. I haven't listened to almost any "rock" music since then...I still love speed metal though. I listen to dubstep which is slowed down, distorted and filtered drum & bass / jamaican dub music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzX5FlXVbx4 - Chasing Shadows - Ill (NSFW) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNAC8APZymA - Skream - Midnight Request Line http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H--S4GGOTUM - DZ - What U Won't Do for Love

These are not OEM Nissan obviously, but they ARE L28 pistons pictured. These are what dished pistons look like: If the image doesn't load, go here: http://www.store.partsdinosaur.com/product2039.html

If you go to his site it just says call for availability. Has anyone tried calling?

I have a set of injectors. $50?

I bought his front Stage 4 brakes, he was easy to do business with and was good with communication.

Done, send me a PM with your paypal info and how much you want total. Shipping is to Chantilly, VA 20152.

I'm looking for a passenger side CV axle from a '82-'83 280ZX turbo(the longer one). If you have a set I'll consider buying them. I'm not worried about the boots if the CV's seem to be in good shape and the price is right. Send me a PM or reply here....thanks!

Thanks!

They look like 8" but I may be wrong.

I got some of the wheel bearings, some gaskets and some distributor rotors. They also have CV boots on closeout for the '84-'85 300ZX NA which fit and are the same as the '82-'83 280ZX Turbo CV boots. They were less than $5 each for inner and outer which is a great deal.

I'm surprised you had oil consumption issues. I had an '03 350Z for 5 years and didn't notice any abnormal oil consumption. I know some of the '05-'06 350Z's had a noticeable problem with that...but I didn't think the earlier VQ's did.

This is a late reply but I just saw this thread. I trimmed my strut insulator for the rear as I won't be running camber plates in the rear (only the front). This is what Ross/Modern Motorsports said in his installation instructions email when I purchased mine from him in regards to trimming that piece and what you use for a bearing: "2)black washers - 1/4" thick aluminum top perch sits on top of the spring, then anywhere from 1-3 black flat washers sit on top of that silver upper spring perch, the black washers then bear onto the OEM top strut mount.........you can trim that black rubber lip on the strut mount so you only need 1 or 2 washers if you like...(often some metal needs to be trimed to get down to using only one washer, .the more you trim it the more suspension travel you have available. You DO have to use one washer at a minimum for proper safety/bearing so keep that in mind. In the front this washer bears on the isolator right beneath the bearing within the OEM strut top. In the rear this black washer sits against the rubber isolator (no bearing in the rear OEM top)." I imagine instead of using washers you could buy some needle bearings somewhere from a circle-track racing site or something. Anyone have any reason that would be a bad idea?
