Ive ordered from him. He isnt good with emails(little slow to answer), but if you win one of his auctions he ships pretty prompt and he uses fedex. I ordered a set of taillights, got here in about 4 days.... FROM CANADA! Would I order from him again? Yes. Would I email him to request parts again? If I need them, no. If I wanted them, maybe. Again, he takes about 3-4 days to answer.

I thought I read somewhere that you were 16? College as a junior in highschool? wow... Im a senior in high school. My schedule is VERY easy and I love it. Wouldnt trade anything for it. I have 2 classes English IV and Auto Tech: Engine and High Performance. I go to a vocation school for 2 and a half hours for the auto class and the english class is a little over an hour. I wake up at 9:30 AM every day and class starts at 10:00. I get out of school at 2:48 PM.

Tisk, tisk. wrong forum...

How about some chitlins?

This project has left me... breathless. Heres a shot with the rims. Pictures dont do this car justice! It is a very Deep Pearl Orangish/red(some areas look like a candy apple color in a dim light). Out in the sun it is a shiny deep orange.

Thanks for all the comments. On A side note,... NEW PICTURES!!!!!! The paint has been finished! 2 clear coats have been applied. This thing is SO shiny, very much what I expected and more... When this thing goes out into the sun I have a feeling its going to bring out the color even more. Aaaand for those who still dont have my cardomain... http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3218401

Fort Minor FTW!

NEW PICTURES!!! First base coat of paint applied. Very shiny! This thing is gonna blind people when the clear coat gets put on! http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3218401

Same problem here too... VERY annoying and should not be ignored...

I have read the whole thread. I have not really driven the car much because right after the swap it went to the body shop. So I have no clue what boost it is running right now. I have bought a plug to screw into the release valve on the intake. I have AEM Tru Boost. When I install the tru boost controller/guage, I was planning on setting my boost to 15 lbs. I have run out of money on this project to buy a wideband sensor or an aem wideband uego controller guage... What should I run on this setup? I do not have a wideband nor have money to buy one for the next 6 months. I'm thinking maybe 10-12 lbs of boost...

yes you can run a turbo z31 ecu on an l28et, but you also need the z31 turbo wiring harness

So I have an l28et, stock fuel system/injectors/ecu, huge intercooler, turbosmart blowoff valve, stock t3 turbo, 2" intake piping. Could I run 15 lbs of boost on this setup? People have told me that it would run lean. From reading early on in this thread I've read that a BOV after the A/f meter tricks the ecu to run rich. So now I've come to the conclusion maybe it would work?

Anyone?

With sound deadening it goes like this, butyl is better than asphault, thicker IS better (the reason why some people take a choice sound deadener and do TWO layers, you might ask, Why two layers? When you add that second layer it works with the first layer tripling its sound deadening properties) BUT remember with thickness there is WEIGHT, The Damplifier pro is the thickest out on the market currently hands down. I ordered 160 sq ft. of this stuff, the box weighed in at 95 LBS.!! Some of you racers out there try to reduce weight, remember, the more liners, deadeners, rattle pads you add the more weight you are adding to the ride. My purpose of deadening my ride is for a sound system, I know that this being an over 30 year old car, they didnt have the technology they do nowadays with bass/amplifiers/4x50watt head units, so there is going to be alot of sound escaping or being drowned out by road noise. A sound deadener allows the freq. played within the car, to stay within the car. Basically depending on if your going luxury car or race car you make the decision of what to use. Race car- dont bother with this stuff! Weekend Racer/Daily Driver- I would just get a sound deadener do a layer, you want a somewhat comfortable ride while keeping weight as low as possible(adds about 100 lbs with about 160 sg ft. of the heaviest/thickest stuff[damplifier pro]) Luxury car/Show car/Daily Driver- Buy as much of this stuff as possible! Fill every inch! Use two-three layers of a sound deadener, a heavy liner, a sludge deadener, firewall deadener, spray wheel wells with spray sound deadener.(This setup will add probably 300-400 lbs! But weight doesnt count in the name of luxury) I explained the sound properties but any sound deadener will also provide as insulation(think of a drink cooler).

So if I were to spend NO more money, keep stock fuel rail/lines/regulator/injectors, stock ecu, and no wideband uego controller I could set the boost controller to 12 lbs of boost and be fine?

Haha isnt the owner of that website a banned member on this site?

Keep in mind I have stock turbo fuel injectors and stock turbo ecu. Will it still push 12 lbs or will it run lean? I have no a/f guage/controller so it will all be dependent on the ecu. If I got the AEM's wideband uego controller and ran a direct swap of the bigger cc ford injectors that fit on a stock ecu. Would this run 15 lbs? I'm running out of money on this project so I need to start thinking economically. Trying to achieve 15 lbs of boost cheaply or if it would take a chunk of change to upgrade to run 15 lbs of boost, just holding off for about 6 months.

Well I was originally going to get 10.5" wide wheels, but a member on here was selling these for a deal I couldnt refuse and I needed rims. I'm planning on running black trim and the paint is burnt orange. Also the wheel wells are done. The crack is filled with fiberglass except for the front of the wheel well there is "rat wire" grafted in to the fiberglass for brake cooling purposes, also I think it might dissipate air out of the wheel well.. Kinda of off subject but I had a question. Can you run 15 lbs of boost on a stock turbo 280zx fuel system, or will it run too lean?

The rims are on... tell me what you all think. The rim is 18x7.5. Tire is 245/35/18 or 9.5" wide.

Wow, that ducktail is NICE! I really dont even usually like the bre type deals, but WOW. Where did you get that?

I second this... im curious of the appearance of a carbon fiber hatch as well. How would a carbon fiber whaletail look?(no not the cf bre spoilers, a whaletail)

Alright I've added everyone that has posted here on cardomain to be my friend on there...
