Hi, i just got a turbo exhast mainfold. I am just getting the parts that i will need to turbo my none turbo 280zx, an was wondering if i will need a turbo intake mainfold to match the turbo exhast mainfold or can i use the stock none turbo intake mainfold, or maby JUST a bigger TB ?? Thank's Chris M. 1981 280zx {Turbo Coming Soon} 1983 280zx {Wifes}

I have a 1981 280zx with the iron cross rime's on it. i don't really like them but want to hold on to them as an extra set for the hell of it, but i need to refurbish them. they have what looks to be milldow stian's an just dirt an grime...how should i go about cleaning them an preping them to get painted. {i have a big compresser} Also is powder coating hard for a do it your selfer to do or is that somthing to leave to the pro's? thank's. chris M. 1981 280zx 1983 280zx

I have a 1983 280zx non turbo, 5 speed, with 213000 miles on it. the car runs really good an have lots of power but, i noticed that some oil was leaking or had been leaking out an near the spark plug. What could be going on?? Thank's. Chris M. 1981 280zx 1983 280zx

Thanks challenger, answered a lot of question's! but a few more for you if you don't mind. {please corect me at any time that i may be rong} What is the 'afm"? an i have the stock L28 none turbo motor in my S130 right now, so can i just rebuild it to meet the turbo motor spec's an do i have to shave or port anthing for these new heads??? an is it a do it your selfer's task to put a Mega squirt set up in my car or is it somthing i should have a shop do?? im not a electrition by any means. the reson i was thinking the T3/T4 turbo is because i can get a new one for $400.00 {just the Turbo it's self} now is there a better turbo kit, becuase im thinking of TRYING to make the car produce 250HP 270HP to the wheel an im guessing at 10 to 14 PSI, thats my goal becuase this is going to be a daily drive in Houston, Texas {keep in mind its hooooot here for about 4 to 5 mounth's an traffic is an issue} so i was thinking if i went over 300HP it would be a bitch to worry about in having issue's all the time. thank's.

Hi, I have a 1981 280zx none turbo, 5 speed with 189000 miles on it. the car sat for about 4 years, but it's now up an running just fine, an has a new paint job . I really want to Turbo it, im thinking a T3/T4, but what ALL DO I NEED to completly turbo charge this correctly an so that i dont just have a turbo sports car, but a daily reliable turbo sports car?? thank's Chris M. 1981 280zx 1983 280zx

I just got a 1983 280zx none turbo, 5 speed, with 212000 miles, today, the car run's vary well an it's strong. but the dash light's do not come on, the tail light's do not light up at night on there own, but only when you brake they do, an the side marker light's do not come on. the head light's do an the bright's do also, the poilt light work's an the floor light's work. the clock work's!! SO what could or IS the problem, note that i have already changed the fuse's for the dash an nothing has changed...maby its a relay is what im thinking also it's a T-top an i found that there is a water in the rug under the driver passenger side of the car like it's pretty damp so is there somthing electrical under the seat's that got wet???

I just got a 1983 280zx none turbo, 5 speed, 212000 miles, today an the car run's really well an strong, but, at night the dash light's do not come on, the marker lights do not come on, an the tail light's do not come on, unless ur braking, then they work other wise they don't, also the oil pressure gauge sit's vary vary low but the car run's fine. i have a 1981 280zx an the oil pressure gauge sit's at about 60 but when i get on it it jump's to 90 or so, so i think it's also broken. there's the run down let me now if you need more info to answere my question of "what the hell is rong" ???? P.S. i changed to fuse's for the dash already!! an it did nothing.

Ahh i see, thank you for answering that for me. well let me ask this, is it worth the money to buy a stage 2 cam kit from "the Z store" that coast $800.00, am i going to get much out of it with a none turbo motor that is running very well as is? {new injectouirs, plugs, wire's, all new vaccum lines, blah blah blah} or is there somthing else i can do to make a diffrence in gitting more power to the wheels an spending 2 grand...note, that i plan on turbo'ing this Z in about 8 mounth's or that's the plan at least, but till then im staying tail happy:burnout:

what is the EFI? an what dose it have to do with the cam's performance?? Chris M. owner of a 1981 280zx.

hey were on earth did you get those skyline tail lights for your Z plzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!! im begging you let me know i just painted my 280zx san marco sunset orange {with metal flake} an they would look so sick on her, any info would help becuase i can't find them anywere an i am going crazy looking. Thanks, Chris M.
