I am going with borg Warner EFR turbo on my build at it has the waist gate and bovs built in yes the turbos are a bit more but not having to buy the other items and or do plumbing for them makes up for it

I cant find a number for JCI do you have one ??

Anyone else make a motor mount kit for 5.3? I have been trying to contact john cars via email with no luck. I really am starting to get going on this car and need a kit

Called and spoke to lee today he said he did not post the add and its bogus. sorry guys

In that case I will buy it if someone checks it out and it is legit someine who is willing to go please hit me up via pm

Well something is not right. If its too good to be true it always is

Can you say Scam

Beater bomb Joey lol;)

No I need the lower rear most section behind the wheel. looks like tabco is the the only place that makes them they stamp them and sell them to the z store. Going to have to figure something out

its stripped

Blasting has begun

I placed an order for some body panels for my 77 280z from the z store and they have all shipped but the email stated that the lower rear quarters are on back order and may take 3-4 months to get in..... HOLY CRAP I wanted to have this thing in paint before then. Does anyone have any ideas where I can source the lower rear panels Is going Fiber glass my only option.. I really want to have it in steel Thank you Geno

Car is being media blasted tomorrow next pics should be in bare steal Also I have sourced a l33 pull out with 60k as the starting point. I am thinking this with z06 intake patroit golds and z06 cam. then 10lbs of boost to start

Almost ready for media blasting The Dash is in ok shape even though it has a cap Door skins are ok

Thank you rebekahs no sass taken at all ! You are someone who I see needing a ton of info from over the next few months as you have completed what I am trying to accomplish. Thank you for the feed back.

Ok the caps are printed with Tokico so knowing they make aftermarket parts I just figured they were. but at this point ask long as it works im good. Thanks for the help. Media blasting next week

Ok thanks, I was caught up in the needing a bigger master crap i guess, and it looked aftermarket so I was thinking I was good. Thanks

That is what I am leaning towards Can you tell if that is a aftermarket brake master above ??

Ya I think I am going to pass on the colors that's for sure it will end up with a very close scheme but diff colors 1) ZR1 cyber grey with the same fender stripes done in black with black rota RBs carbon fiber ZG flares 2) or option two is white with the same fender stripes done in black and black rota RBs carbon fiber ZG flares

Well I have begun... I picked up the car last week and towed her back to her new home for the next few months at our shop in a back corner. I have inspected it and found that there is minimal bondo on the car and just the rust in the usual places. Rear lower quarters. Note that this car sat in the weather in colorado for 10 years ;( and did not move once. man that sucks I have started the tear down pulled the front bumper and started pulling the trim. I did hit a few spots of the surface rust to see how bad it was and it was in ok shape I have a guy coming to media blast the car with some sort of water glass deal next week and do walnuts on the front plastic. Head liner looks good for sitting in colorado weather for 10 years I have stripped the interior and the seats look like new! There is a little rust from water getting in on some of the floor boards but it appears to just be surface rust. the plan is to wire wheel it off treat it and put lizard skin or bed liner over it. Seats look like new!! The dash has a cap and I am afraid to take it off I may just glass it in and bed liner over the whole thing to make it look like one piece. I could use some help where are the bolts that hold the dash in can someone point me to a thread that would help???? Also anyone know if this is aftermarket brake master?? this project will move faster then I planned at first the plan is to have a running driving ls1 Z with good paint coilovers and wheels and tires in 6 months. Then the turbo build will start and the details will start. Budget on this build is 15k over the next 18 months then 5k in details..... over the next few years I look forward to all the help I know I am going to need in this build and the help you guys are willing to give! Thanks and here we go!

5.3 single turbo, 14psi ,cam & springs, z06 intake, E85 good tune, Slicks = Game over I plan on doing a similar setup in my Z but going 6 speed cause I love rowing the gears too much My buddy parish/jim and the guys from Omaha put this together years ago to be on pinks but it never happened. It was the fastest at the time of the video not anymore though Speaking of witch SunnyZ tell kyle I said hi,, And nice job smoking his Z06

how about the Ecoboost from the f150... The one in my truck with intake tune exhaust put down 525lbft of tq and 356hp

First off thank you to the Admin for fixing the validating method. I have been trying to sign up for weeks now. I just got (free) a 78 280z from my father in law he had the car sitting in front of his house for the last 5 years it has some BAD spots of surface rust but the entire car will be DA sanded and repainted. From what I can tell the frame is in good shape but it will be getting a cage and sub-frame connectors The ultimate plan is to do a 5.3 Ls swap with a single turbo and a built T56 Zo6 intake, cam and springs looking for 550hp . The cars paint is screwed now and it will likely end up a Charcoal Silver, With ghost stripes Here is a few shots of the car still sitting at my father in-laws. I will be driving out to pick it up and trailer it back with in the next few weeks Budget on the car is 20k I will be doing all the work myself and the build will be slow. Poor Poor 280 But for a free Car I will take it
