  1. Hi all, I'm swapping in an l28 into my 260, as most of you know by now. I have the ZX dizzy and ignition module from an 82, but I've read that I need an early one from a 79. Now here's my confusion, can I use my 82, ignition module or do I have to get the early one? And if so where can I find one?

    You guys have been great at helping me so far with this, I've been a ZX guy for years and most of this stuff is new for me.

  2. Yeah, there definately much brighter, I was actually getting concerned about ppl rear ending me cuz you can't see my tail lights or breaks very well during the day.

     

    Anyways..

     

    Got my tails back, red outed the turns, going back to my friend so he can fix the fast ass blinker and they're going on!

     

    But this is the final look

  3. Hey everyone, I'm swapping in an L28e in my s30 soon and was wondering what kind of fuel pump to run. It has to be a low psi one since stock su's run off of like 4 psi if I remember right, could be wrong. The l28e head doesn't have the provision for a mechanical pump otherwise I would have swapped that over. Any suggestions would be great.

  4. I had some free time before I have to start work today so I got some stuff done.

     

    Got the motor on a stand in all it's grimy goodness

    Soaked it in some degreaser, need more tho, and gotta steam clean it to get all the tough stuff

    Decided to paint the valve cover purple, along with the motor when it's cleaned up.

    And this is what I ended up with

    Slow progress but progress none the less

  5. Epic update time! I did some dismantling today at work.

     

    Decided to take one last pic before the car lost all it's dignity

    After couple of hours of carefully removing connectors (as I'll be saving the harness and ecu and efi junk) and ripping all the hose connections it was time to rip out the goods

    And here's what we ended up with, a 4x4 looking 280 and a grimy but otherwise very nice L28

    Gonna get this thing on an engine stand after I get some long ass bolts an clean the eff out of this thing. Getting a fresh coat of paint, polish etc etc

  6. Happy day today!!!

    Nothing on the body is really worth saving, I can falcon punch half the holes in the body/frame.

    But at 76k on the drivetrain puts my 280zx to shame at how well it runs. Anyways, that's getting ripped out and going in the 260, might swap some stuff to te 280 that's in better shape.

  7. Did a few things today after work

     

    Threw on a 240 tail light to see how it looks, I'm kindu stuck now lol

    And finally got the center valance on after persuading some brackets

    By this time the mosquitoes were making a feast of me so I called it a day

  8. No real updates yet, should be picking up a s130 parts car soon with 76k on it but more on that later if it goes thru.

     

    Here's what I get distracted by every morning going to work and coming home.

    That's pretty much it for now, maybe I'll swap in the 240 tail lights tomorrow.
