so ive done my research and i know i have to guy my shocks to put my 5-way tokico's in. And i will also have to cut the spring off at the collar and shave the lump down to put on my coil sleeves. But my problem is with the removal of the shock itself i cannot for the life of me get the traverse link bolt out.Ive also been reading that there are easier ways to get the shock out with the torture of the haynes manuall directions. But i dont understand completely what they mean so could someone help me out here it would be greatly appreciated if someone could explaine it to someone as dumb as myself ()

i bought a set of tokico illuminas and they dont have collars on them like in the picture but what i understand i use the stock tube and slide that over the Illuminas ??? im sorry i read the FAQ but without pictures its still confuzing (im a dummy...)

Hey guy i have been doing research on Turboing a 77 280Z. I've read about people just leaving everything stock and just throwing a turbo on it and a J pipe and it runs fine. i wanna do that but i already have an intercooler setup so it will run a little better. to the question..they never talk about fuel setups and i was wondering how they do not lean out. if its all stock it should lean out if stock 7PSI is getting pushed through right? well if you guys can help me that would be Great looking to get my project running!!!!

Is it possible to use a 77 NA Wiring harness to run a turbo setup with MSII? the NA car is almost stock i want to put a turbo on it and i heard that MSII would be good to run my car safer and be better for future modifications? and i was also wondering how hard it is to use because i know very little about tuning? I just dont want my car down forever becuse im trying to get it up and running but could wait a month or 2 if megasquirt would help that much and also i was wondering if you could use MSII with the NA dizzy?? thanks

Does anyone know if this is actually for the L28et or are they just trying to sell junk? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-Truck-Parts-Accessories__280ZX-Wiring-Harness-Eng-Bay-OEM-NEW_W0QQitemZ330209520385QQadnZCarQ20Q26Q20TruckQ20PartsQ20Q26Q20AccessoriesQQadiZ2865QQcmdZViewItem?_trksid=p3756.m20.l1116 ??

sorry about that Z-ya. Its just some people get under my skin and i normally voice my opinion so yea sorry man. Thanks for all your help and i know you guys answer a lot of the same questions but the questions are always gonna be asked over and over. And now that im gaining knowledge i will happily answer the same question for different people just because i know that it helps in some way thats what forums are for and i thank you for not talking down on me or being a jerk when so many others just show their embarrassing side to them

how about instead of saying you need to search how about you find it and put up a link to help me out. ive been reading over threads for about a year now and there are some things i just cant find. Why is everyone on here think they are so great and talk down to everyone.

Well thank you for your help.

i have searched it but i wasnt sure if you could run the turbo parts with the N/a ecu so i just put my parts on here so i wouldnt leave any questions behind

I thought that 77 280Z came with dished pistons??

Hey Zers ive been searching and found almost all of what i needed to know but can you Run this. 77 280Z block(dished pistons) P90 head turbo exzhuast manifold 280ZXT stock turbo turbo oil pump Turbo Dizzy FMIC Turbo intake manny 77 N/A ECU 280ZXT AFM 280ZXT injectors ive searched and ive read people doing the turbo with n/A ecu. but i couldnt figure out how it would work with a setup like this.And would it also work better with the N/A AFM or the turbo AFM well out of these parts how it run the best if at all?

Ok the L28 and the L28et have different manifold setups. I was wondering what is the difference besides The webbing. I see all of these vacuum hoses and and regulators and i was wondering what all do or don't i need on the turbo manifold. I see people with bare manifolds and i want one for my turbo conversion like that but I do not know what all to take off.

Ive searched for days and i dont know if i havent been putting in the right key words but i cannot find any Block codes for L series engines for wich is wich and the threads i did get had websites to go to to explain things then the link didnt work properly can i pls get some help here guys

Will i need to change my coil to a 280ZXT if i put a turbo in my 280Z or can i just get a turbo dizzy and call it a day

Advanced auto sells 280zx turbo pumps for like 60 some dollars ill go that route lol

on a scale of 1 to 10 and any tips you can throw in how hard is it to wire up a 280Zx ECu and wiring harness into a 280Z and plz plz plz throw any tips you can my way

where did you get head bolts from i cant find them anywhere

this may be a stupid question but are the head bolts on L28 motors good for more than one use unlike new cars engines wich are only good for one time on then off becuase i was wondering if i could Reuse them thanks guys

I see people with all the vacuum hoses on there intake manifold welded shut and i would like to do that but im doing a turbo build and i dont know what i do need and dont need or is that only for the N/A setup if anyone could answer me with maybe some pics of what i do and dont need for the turbo setup I would greatly appreciate it

My N/a L28 when it heats up ill step on the gas at it will cut out and jerk really badly and the lighter i am on the peddle it will do it less i used the search function and found a thread but i have new plugs and wires and they are all getting spark i checked ill step on the peddle and it feels like im in a rodeo and the car completley cuts out my fuseable links were out in the weather would they only be affected after the car heats up or what would they do? Thanks Zers

could i use a 300ZX turbo oil pump?

Do i need the turbo oil pump or will my old one be sufficient?

So i have a 280Z and im going to put a p90 head on the stock 280Z block and switch out to dished pistons that should be the right compression and everything to run a turbo pretty safely I ask this Becuase i got a turbo block without pistons or crank in it its not damaged but needs honed didnt know if it would be worth it to use that block or my L28 block. this has most likely been beaten to a pulp but i like some personal reassurance I am also do a very budgeted build (in college) heres my list Piston Rings 255LPH fuel pump (still needed) 280ZX ECU (need to find a 5 speed manual ecu) (still needed) Wiring harness Main bearings Front mount 280Zx stock Turbo (gonna use the internal wastegate) stock 280ZX Turbo manifold is it needed?? since i have the normal L28 one 280ZX injectors 280ZX afm (need codes cant find em to make sure its the right one) im gonna use my friends old stock 3rd gen rx7 bov larger oil lines Larger Fuel lines sorry to put this on here and thanks to anyone that reply's.also if you can tell me if im missing anything.I hope to not be a bother but im just trying to kill as many birds with one stone. Thanks Fellow Hybrid Zers
