Here is the link to photobucket were i posted some updated pictures of progress. Front and rear Coilovers are istalled. Going to send the car to get 4 corner wieghted tommarow. Waiting on the 240z turbo axles billit flanges for the conversion. http://s1106.photobucket.com/home/chrismiller891/recentuploads

So the 240 made its way back to power fab today. Let the wrenching begian.

A good cheap turbo is the holset hy35, i am using one right know and it makes great power. Also on one of my other S130's i have a Turbonetics - 60-1 HiFi / F1-62 .63 A/R it is a much better turbo aside from the holset witch stands for reson. If you have the money i say go with a Garret 30r or the turbonetics 60 series. If your not rolling in doe go with the holset.

Well my dad and power fab have decided that the 240z could use a new and better motor. So we are swapping the stock L28 turbo motor out for a 3.1 Stoker witch will be turbocharged. The motor is ready for install and things should Begin to move along next week. Along with this swap there will be different clutch used. Bigger FMIC Turbo shafts. Quafie rear end. And 750cc injectors. I will take many photos and post.

Ok so i had some time at work to gather a more pressent and accurate build sheet.

Wow, sorry about this, please move the post to the correct thread. Sorry.

How can i find out if i have water in my gas tank with out taking the gas tank out? looking for any information, and searching for this question has not been going vary well. And what is the messurments to the 280zx gas tank? I think i have water in my tank so im thinking out buying a fuel cell and fuel pump.

So, the holset hy35 that i plan to use for my turbo project has a bit of rust and pitting on the exhuast side of the turbo. Trying to get the rust of with navel jelly, and rust killer but isnt no working vary well, any tips or pointers other then what i have tryed? Searched but the stuff i found just isnt going to cut it other then sand blasting witch i would have to go buy one to do so.

Or you can do edis6.

Sorry forgot to say, that all these parts need to be in WORKING condition not wanted used brake lines only new lines.

So, i drove my wifes 280zx today, and i have a problem. The brakes are not strong.....at all i have to double pump them to get them to grab, so i checked all the fluids and they are good. So im looking for a brake master cylinder and brake lines.

wow that is diffrent.

looking for parts for my brother, he needs a turbo distributer, and a electric fan that moves 3000 CFM or more. these parts would need to be in working condition. pm me pictures and price ranges if you like.

Have one, thanks.

My front wheel came off my 83 280zx and the only thing that got damaged was the fender....was doing around 45mph...... it sucks! make sure your lugs are snug.

This is art. Vary nice Z.
