  1. Thanks I will leave it alone.. I don't think I am asking to much given the fact, I paid 1200 for my 5 spd car and after tires, gas tank, fuel pump, fuel injectors, new fenders and hood. I'm in almost what I'm asking for my automatic. Yet I still don't have paint job and as nice of an interior as the auto car. So you couldn't build a cheaper car to this level for less than what I'm asking.

  2. I prefer fast over stock.. but what do you guys think the market wants right now? I am selling my 82 turbo automatic and I have had little to no interest. It is stock and in pretty good condition. But I have to wonder if I did a few things to it, like porting the intake, putting a intercooler and 60mm throttle body on it. As well as porting the exhaust manifold and building a 3 inch down pipe as I am doing to my daily driver 5spd turbo. Would it sell faster? Take a second and tell me what you guys think.. thanks...

  3. It was done on both fresh new black top and old, with my 82 280zx turbo 116,000 original miles with ported exhaust manifold, 10lbs of boost,3.70 lsd diff, stock trans, and 215/60/15 tires. , one of the 4 turbo 280zx turbos I have. its only a 12.8 car right now but I have plans. Only time to build on it is the limiting factor right now. Header, T4 turbo, cam, custom Intake and fuel system next.

  4. It appears to be a 81-82 automatic bottom end with a p90 head. But it has a Isky 7181 cam with Arp head bolts. It was bought in Moncks Corner SC. I was wondering does anybody here know anything about the history of the engine? Is this a good turbo cam? What would something like this be worth? I am hoping I got a good deal..

  5. Email Zprace@aol.com he can help.. I guarantee it.. You can use the stock na harness and computer.. My 280zx turbo is wired with one right now and is perfect and easy to tune and supports larger injectors the works... I run 12lbs of boost and can run much more. About to install a turbo header and t4 twinscroll turbo.. I will post pics for the doubters...

  6. I don't know where you are from or your complete story but, I do know this for a fact, other countries when things are shipped in. Sometimes people take things and replace them with junk. I witnessed this in Sri Lanka. So maybe what he shipped you didn't make it to you. How ever I have gotten everything I paid for and I will continue to do business with Frankie because he has knowledge no one else has and has done me right. I will inquire into your story with him though. As I would hate for that to happen again and be personally involved in the deal..

  7. There is plenty to do and none require an aftermarket ecu.. You can tune the stock ecu, although nobody does, but my team. Header, exhaust, intake, and different heads. Cam is ok for now, stock distributor is also, you can get a good coil, msd 6 box, wires and a good fuel pump. Let me know what you would like to do first and I can give you some more advice and prices, that is not out dated.

  8. Let's bring back the past.. I am a recent customer of Frankie.. I have a bone stock 82 280zx turbo 5 spd. Except for Frankie's computer and wiring harness and an Intercooler.. It is a blow through the airflow meter setup, which is quite genius it's so simple. It does use the n/a computer and distributor. It is a great daily driver, I have been to Carowinds twice and all around Charleston since he did the mods. I can't comment on gas mileage because no one should care lol. it is how ever a beast right now, even at stock 7 lbs of boost.. The reason for me posting this is. I have met Frankie and been to his home. I have seen his parts, I have seen his mods. I assure you this, no one in my 20 yrs of working with 280zx turbos and looking online at every bodies mods, from James Thagard to BoB Sharp to now the green hornet and many others trying to make the most power from an L6 as possible.. No one has done or is doing what Frankie is doing... Yet everything he does except for a few things, is so simple it will be considered IMO genius in time.. To do what he has done with stock computer and airflow meter technology is by far what anyone to date has done with a stand alone computer.. James Thagard did some great work I talked to him back in the day and Big Phil is certainly entertaining. The Green Hornet is bad ass, as well as the driver. 1:34.?? At Laguna Seca hell yeah.. Anyway, I know Frankie has his ways of seeming as if he's hiding something. Because he is a grudge racer/ businessman and he has secrets to hide.. He has discovered secrets of the L6 L28 that no one has, but they are forsale, and those secrets are not worth crap if he tells you how he does it.. I just wanted to take a minute to say this, out of respect for Frankie's knowledge, that I believe a lot of people are missing out on. Because they don't want to believe that Frankie has done something no one else has, with a motor that has been around for so long.. But I assure you he is.. So please inquire with me or inquire with Frankie and buy some parts and see for yourself.. I will post some pictures of my setup so you can see my progress as I make mine faster.. I like most of you want to know what 500 hp in a 280zx feels like, with the sound of the L28 and to show people what they got smoked by..
