[anyone using tokico springs?... are they any good]

I have Tokico springs on my 78 and I love them. They are a firmer ride but the increase in handling was amazing. This one of the first upgrades I did to my Z. I do not know any spring rates.

[Need Help Calibrating Speedometer]

Shortly I am going to be putting a turbo L28 into my 78 280Z. My donor car has an automatic transmission, I curently have a 5 speed with a 4.11 rear diff. I plan onswitching back to a 3.7 rear diff. I believe that my parts car with the automatic has a 3.7 rear diff in the car (please correct me if I am wrong). If it is a 3.7 rear diff in the parts car will the speedometer cog from the automatic transmission fit into my 5 speed? Thanks for any help.

My buddy and I have a car ready to paint and we were wondering where you start to paint? We were thinking from the top down but what about fender wells and door jams and over spray. Which is best top to hood, top to trunk, or top to sides?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

[Who has worked with the Mitsubisi TD06 turbo?]

I'm not sure, he told me but I was getting so much info that I forgot sorry. Anyway the price for the turbo and down pipe was $800.00. Since I do not have a core to exchange the prices I have been getting for a hybrid turbo have been high and I thought if this was a good set up to run hey I would have a good turbo and something different. If you check one of my old topics it will have the guys name and phone number in it.

[Who has worked with the Mitsubisi TD06 turbo?]

I am looking for a turbo. The engine I have does not have a turbo it is from a 81zxt. I have been calling around and one our Z friends started telling me about a Mitsubishi TD06 turbo he has for sale. It sounded good and I could be interested but I cannot find any additional info about that turbo. Do any of you have any experience with this turbo and how good do you think it would be. thanks for your help.

[Where to buy a T3/T4 turbo?]

I have done quit a few seaches trying to get names of places to buy a turbo. Does anyone have a place that they got an unbelievable deal or excellent service they could pass on. The main ones I found were TEC, Turbo Specialties, and Majestic Turbo. Since I have no core to exchange where do you guys think will be the best.

Thanks for the help. Sorry if there was a similar post and failed to find it.

[Where to start???]

I am new to this forum andI realize this had already been covered and I have searched and gotten some excellent info, I still need more here is some back ground. I recently purchased a 280ZX turbo so I could put the engine in my 78 280Z. Since then nothing has been done. The engine, an 81 zxt, has no turbo, and no ecu. Now the way I see it this gives me some flexability when it comes time to put the engine in my car. I do not know how fast I want it to be but I will want it to be buildable so that I can make it faster as I become more of a speed junkie. Do I start with a stock turbo or go to the t3/t4, stock ecu or some sort of upgrade. Any help or being pointed in the right direction is greatly appreciated.
