    took it apart, no labels though. It´s 4 screw pattern at 0° 90° 180° and 270° with a square opening in the middle (2 several holes for the plastic parts etc.) Horn is stamped Lucas from 11/1964

    Hello,

     

    I found this gem on a fleamarket in Berlin and had to buy it. Now I am struggling a bit to identify the wheel and make it fit to a 280z. Has anybody done that before? Looks like it could be an old VW/Porsche wheel, sadly no labeling (have to take it apart to see if one is hidden). Maybe a "Personal" wheel (Nardi)? I would like to keep the black plastig (Bakelit') stuff, at least the horn button.

    BAE Turbo Kit ~ Questions / Help

    in Turbo/Supercharger

    Posted · Edited by Villeman

    Hi,

     

    I read a bit about BAE turbo kits for a 280z EFI model. Does anybody know when they started selling it? So far I heard that it´s crap or cool nostalgia , depending on whom you as or when you ask. Thing is this, I am not allowed to do any kind of swap, but allowed to use "period" tuning items commercially availible in a 10 year timeframe after registration.

    So, is it worth looking for an old kit with a production date pre 86 or will the be too far gone already? I think this would be a nice to have item for possible later use but have no experience whatsoever with old (or new) turbos.

     

    thanks,

    Richard

     

     

    EDIT: it was for sale in 1978....

    Hello,

     

    to not clutter this are with too many threads, here is a list of stuff i would like to buy:

     

    280z 2+2 Rocker Panel molding

    280z 2+2 louver

     

    2+2 Driveshaft (for 71C conversion) (i want to keep mine intact for the stock 4 speed to keep a "stock" version)

     

    2+2 BRE Style airdam (Euro type or JDM Type)

     

    Option a) shocks

    Option B) lowering springs and shocks (mild lowering!)

     

    maybe a tune up kit? My car is (hopefully ;) ) still in California and I want to stash some parts before shipping.

     

    EDIT: a header for square ports

    okay, thats what i wanted to hear :) i wanted to get a 71C 5 speed (late model) since it has more synchros etc.

     

    I was just wondering why there is a 71B bellhousing already attatched, and if I could use that one (instead of a donor one from a 4 speed)

    (and why they casted a cangoroo picture on there ...)

     

    Edit : looks like it´s a CA18DET gearbox which wasn´t sold to the US in this combination in a 200sx. So, is this a "good" 200sx box or some lesser suited box?

    Hello,

     

     

    i recently scored a  1992 200sx 5 speed (there was no 240 in Germany iirc, was still named 200sx) for my 280z 5 speed conversion [ 70.000 miles, 110$, all gears shifting].

     

    So, the gearbox seems to be a 71C from the looks of it, but it has a "CA71B #2 Kangoroo" stamp on the bellhousing (no joke)  .... isn´t this a 280z/zx bellhousing????

     

    I hope i bought the correct one for the conversion....
