i recently bought an almost running 1981 280zx turbo. The owner claims that it was running a few months ago. i tried to get it to start but it just cranks over, there is a spark and there is enough fuel coming from the pump. could it be a stuck turbo or something else?

you could always try Scott Performance. 2555 Lafayette S Clara 408-988-2233 or 408-984-3544

i'll submit a pic of my ground control setup soon, i think i got the same one as you.

get some Falken AZENIS tires. they are cheap and very sticky, i have some on my car and even during hard cornering they never squeal and lose grip.

You should try to find a parts car. Pref. early (1981-1983) since there are more performance parts. i recently found a almost running turbo 1981 280ZX for $300. Also look in the nearest Pick n Pull or junk yard. The parts are cheap but for big stuff get the return policy. For the big bore kit, look at Motorsport Auto (http://www.zcarparts.com). i think they have it for $1700 but i would get the bigger turbo for $600 instead. The best place for the leather interior is JC Whitney, they should have a kit for your car. For the paint i would go with Earl Shieb. Right now their top of the line paint job is only $299 (usually $599). If you want the paint to come out better you should prep the car in primer and sand it smooth yourself. You wont get all the stuff you need in one day so be patient and dont buy stuff you dont need like shift knobs ect. Get the motor and tranny first.
