the ECUs are different so im going to have to say no, and there is that whole 280zx's have O2 sensors thing...
you could just swap in the 280zx short block and attach all your other 280z goodies
-
wow i really really like this front end now that its blended in... reminds me of the cars from the mad max movies
-
if thats not it it may be a head gasket
lol we try not to use them kinda words round here

bigphil and his assistants

Do you really think if I had the wheels Id have to ask?
yeah lol, most do ask

300whp street car.
so you want a full cumfy interior (mabe a small sound system) nicer seats, exterior work to you choising...
and then their is that whole 300hp thing, this is hybridZ look arong in the engine swap forums not to say 300hp is too much for a street L28 but just make sure thats what you want...
-
are you going for a resto, street car, fast street car, or race car? the first thing you need is plans or an over all goal...
-
I cant wait until Top Gear gets their hands on it...that will be interesting
oh geez, i can see the smoke already
-
idk what you guys are thinking but to me it looks like a hakosuka shark, nice work
-
hmmm that would look cool, it would make the 240z look even more like an E-type
-
I give you my "rat rod" Z...
The car was either in flat black, all black rustoleum, or black/red two tone rustoleum over 4 years...The hybrid Z logo even has the red "Z"...
.
this is what i consider a Z rat rod, functionality over form, the opposite of a ricer
but there are cars that are just ratty and not rat rods (mine)... oh and there is the famous ratsun term that fits so good here...
-
the smoke was white. i tried to start the car this morning and it ran for about a second and died. The car has run for about a year since i bought it. The previous owner had it sitting, but started it about once a week to keep it running. Im going to try to start it again tomorrow.
one idea on the smoke, is it cold outside? cars smoke after cranking in the morn and Z's seem to more than others (or its just that they are old)
im still sticking with the loose connection/sensor
-
have you took the pannel off and looked at it? its probly not the ecu just the wiring or one of the connectors
-
wow he comes here for help and after 2-3 people give him his answer and then the rest give him extra tips he flips... FAIL AT EVER TRYING TO GET HELP HERE AGAIN, at least from me
btw dhp123166, internet dating may no be your thing, just an fyi
-
what color smoke? and how much oil did you put in? did you gap the plugs and or they the right kind?
the plugs should be BP6ES-11, the gap should be (1.0 to 1.1 mm) or (0.039 to 0.043 in.)
the oil, if you changed it while the car was warm, should have been close to 3 3/4 qt.
its also more likely you knocked some kind of connection or sensor lose if the car does not even sputter
-
lol, i keep looking at the pics and its growing on me, just needs a little more lip imo and it would be damn near ready to put into production, id buy one

I've gotten 575 miles in one tank of fuel but that's because I had no money and needed to make it last, I went soooo slow everywhere. but I got the NA tranny, stock diff what ever ratio that is and 205/60/15 tires. if that matters. And I don't use the AC
i have the r200 and a 5speed, i should be getting good mpg but i dont for some reason, i think i just need to slow my a$$ down...
-
I dont think its a murano.
oh its a Xa... didnt account for the datsuns short stature lol
-
it think its the black 240 bumpers, which is what i plan on doing to my s30 if i ever get it...
btw is that a murano with a spoiler LMFAO!!!!
-
I've been DDing my 83 NA 3 years. I get and average of 24 to 26 MPG but i shift at 2k to 2.5k RPM which from what I hear is abnormal ? it's never stranded me anywhere in the 35k mile I've driven it. I'm at 174k now.
Oh wait! correction I was stranded last thanksgiving because it was wet out and I was messing around and broke the clutch.
lol im going to have to start shifting at 2k so i can gets me some of those MPGs
-
i have been driving about 40 miles daily for about a year in my 2+2 and trust me 20-22 mpg is not that fun...
its ok as far as reliability (ive only had one breakdown when a hose on the intake manifold busted) but i just hate putting so many miles on the car and the fact that trucks are getting better mpg than me...
-
i swear pine straw is a rust inhibitor... its like salt is up north
-
they sell those extenders for honda hoods so the rear is open, it souldnt be to hard to make some for a Z since thats the way the hood opens...
-
I thought I read somewhere that they were for venting the motor (exhaust versus intake), to avoid heatsoak....similar to the S130 blower fan that cools down the injectors.
I could be totally wrong but I remember reading that...here somewhere.
All mine do is let rain in!!
yeah thats why if you notice the right side vent is almost actually blocked off... but they couldnt just have one vent!!!! that would look... race inspired... race inspired cosmetic enhancement... RICE... oh no
Datsun 280zx body kits

it also seems your a little new to Z cars, no prob
, the pic you have is of a s30 not a 280zx(not a single body part off of a 240,260,or 280z will fit on a 280zx) msa is probly going to be your main source for body parts
there are several G-nose kits for the 280zx but your looking at a total cost of about 2-3k mabe more depending on which one you get
and flares for the 280zx are usually one off and sourced from other cars or custom made with fiberglass
