To be honest I hate custom car builders that don't know anything about Z cars they usually always mess them up at least one team kepted it looking more like a Z but the show kinda sucks.

About how much are the Ground Control Coilovers?

Damn Pontiac that looks bad ass good work man!

That cameout nice good job. Hey guys check his 2+2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKc-b2RWPcM&sns=em

Seen a few 280zx's with RB25's before but not much info on this one though!

What's the hybridZ price??!!

Not true you can still have the cut off ive seen it plenty of time before my friends S14 240sx which he put projectors on his headlights and also put a clear lense on his headlights have a perfect cut out. It really depends on the actual projector that you buy and then custom fit it in your headlight I'll get all the website when I go to my friends tomorrow.

There are a lot of headlights out there for the 280zx one i prefer is this one: Some LED's on these will run for $135, I'm sure you can custom fit a projector in there all it would take is baking the headlight (if its high heat resistant glass) taking the lid off cutting the hole for the projector and then reseal it which is what one of my friends did all you need is the a projector (ill find the website) the sealent and rebake them. http://turbometal.com/lighting/crystal-headlight/h6054-7-inch-led-round-headlights-chrome.html Similar to the ones above there not even real projector but they are off Ebay If your on a budget get some off Ebay and custom fit a projector in there, or if you got the money spend the money and get the legit ones.

I like those headlights I know I've seen them before, I also ran into some other kind but I can't seem to find them on my bookmarks as I thought I had saved them. There also the ones you can find on hot rod magazines for a good price. Just wondering if $370 bucks is really worth it when you can probably make your own for less then half of that. Or you can get these i know most of you seen these. If your willing to spend $400 with shipping, personally i don't like these but what the heck. The whole kit you get. what they look like on a S130 Looks to have good visibility Choice of bulb color/temperature These are sold on Ebay not sure of any other website offering these. Maybe with some headlight covers they look better or painted but i personally would not get these, its just a matter of personal preference.

My friend John saw that gold RB26 S130 in the SEMA show, they also had fun at the track but the owner of that car got a little too crazy with it and kept getting flagged down. He was doing all these burnouts on the streets lol, my friend said definitely was the baddest & fastest S130 he's ever seen. That's the car that inspired me to want to do a RB26 swap but I think I want to do something different now.

My 81 non turbo has a R200 stock and that's what I'm still running on my L28ET I swapped in.

I'll give it a try thanks man.

So I took my spare n/a L28 that I have for sale looking at the head before taking it off it would seam to be more work needed just to clean it up and have a compression check for leaks than my P90 would. I now decided to just take my P90 to a machine shop less of a hassle for me, only thing holding back is the freezing weather.

Yeah I heard of that but don't know how safe if would be on a turbocharged engine, I know ATF works kinda like a detergent even heard using diesel. My dad used to use diesel to clean his engine and it did good for his engine on his old truck.

Hey thanks for the responses guys! If I can I will even make a video of the car when I start it so you guys can hear the loud ticking.

I been searching for a while now and can't seem to find anyone that's installed a P79 on a 83 L28ET, unless of course I missed it? So my goal is just to run this head temporarily until I can get my P90 rebuild. I have a loud ticking coming from my P90a head for sometime so I haven't driven my car much. I'm low on cash and unemployed which really sucks but I need to be on the look for jobs and this is holding me up. I know so far the compression will go up and so I would have to run low boost but the problem is I don't have a good boost controller. Would it be safe to run it on stock boost, my set up now is 83 L28ET with AiResearch T3/TO4E, turbo 87 Z31 ECU, MAF, stock exhaust, stock injectors & non intercooled. Any help as always will be greatly appreciated!
