heres mine 81 280zx with too many mods to list

theres a lot you can do leave the fuel injection alone ,a mild cam advance cam timing to the 4 degree mark and it will have a good low end punch and autocross well.these are mine,the orange one is turbo charged on the factory computer and wiring harness

mine runs perfectly on the 77 n/a setup just requires some modifications to run ribht

heres my wide body z and back when it used to be my race car

i was thinking along the same lines but already replaced the computer(i have 4 spares for this car)and the 78 ignition module is 375.00 to get another one so the 280 zx distibuter replaces the 78 module so thats all been bypassed , all the signals the computer look good on my labscope but being the 78 is different slightly from thh75-77 z's (and i dont have a manual for the 78 car)

the 280zx dist. will supply a more stable and better controlled signal for your coil and increase coil saturation time,and if you read the post you would have also noticed i cleaned all grounds and added a complete grounding kit for the electrical system,including computer and ignition module

hey all ive got a good one for you 78 280z l28e automatic all stock has been parked for 6 yrs,drained the tank replaced all the filters and replaced plugs wires cap and rotor.started and ran fine i was using it for a daily driver for 3 months until it started this on cold start up will crank and not start when you check no spark no injector pulse ,i have already upgraded the ignition to a 280zx dissy for a good solid spark.i have checked and cleaned all the computer and ignition module connections,replaced the ignition switch and battery and put a different computer in the car.also installed a engine body computer ground kit heres the strange part to get it to start you can take a grounded test lite and touch the dist. wiring connector on the left fender you will here the injectors pulse and coil fire then it will run all day long restart every time untill it sets all nite before you start asking all the newbie questions about fuel fire and spark ,im a ase master tech w/20 yrs on the job and 10 yrs of owning 6 different z's but this one has me stumped all the people in our local z club have taken a stab at this one and all came up scratching their heads bobby burress okc president oklahoma z car club

had the same problem with my 83 turbo car the heater control valve had failed and was sucking water through the entire vaccum system

i own 2 s30 and 3 s130 and my daily driver is a 83 s130 my favorite is my 81 widebody car my s130s spend more time on the road than the s 30 s do
