Nice 280 sir  sounds like you have set some very reasonable goals. And should be a fun little build.

Thanks, bro. I appreciate the support.

oh yes, copper brown!

[77' 280z aka Penny]

Hello friends, from all over the world, my name is Zamar and I am an aspiring Datsun enthusiast. A little background of myself....

 

I'm twenty one years old, married with my first child, a service member in the U.S. Marines and on a very tight budget due to my other pricey hobbies. Majority of my time is at work and working out, close to all of my time off is spent with my wife and daughter. I do all of my research and learning up on this site and I hope to meet very knowledgable Datsun and/or car enthusiasts. 

 

A little background on my 280z, Penny.

 

My goals with Penny is to rebuild her factory L28e and get a reliably smooth and sound motor.

- upgrade her whole suspension and lower her 2-3 inches

- repaint her Copper brown

- replace her factory wheels and tires with a more modern rim and low profile tires.

- remove front and rear bumpers, add front grille and air dam

- install aftermarket radio

 

I really hope to get a lot of help and I apologize in advance for my new guy questions. I understand to search and search before posting a thread about something that has been covered probably a dozen times before.

I appreciate the help. I cleared the confusion, hopefully it'll arrive here in a week or so. Thank you, again.

Also, my engine was abused, big time, they had no choice but to bore my cylinders to .040

[rebuild kit for 77 280z, pistons?]

           Hello, I have searched the database and could not find any threads that answer my question. I apologize in advance if this has been covered. Is this l28e rebuild kit as far pistons any different than the Factory L28e I have in my 280z? Keeping in mind it states l28e 280zx rebuild kit. I only ask because I'm rebuilding my motor and this kit is in my price range. Also if anyone has any remarks to Clegg engines or any other reasonably priced rebuild kits on the market. I would greatly appreciate your input, good or bad.
