That is a big help I need to do a calculation on the size needed. I have heard of people running CX racing and saying they are ok, then some say they are trash. I saw a picture of the tube & fin vs. a treadstone they were way different. (not as tightly packed, not symmetrical) If the godzilla looked like a mishimoto or treadstone core I would be comfortable I think but they don't have any pictures of inlets on their website... I am new to intercoolers but sounds like the more tightly packed the fins the more heat is removed, the trick is keeping the cfm up. On the other hand the ebay ones aren't very tightly packed so they get great CFM but don't remove nearly as much heat. All of this is me reading and watching youtube. So its not the book, but the tests I have seen were they measure temp & cfm show this. I am in houston texas so I want to ensure heat soak is not a problem, as this car could quite possibly see some weekend track days... don't want to blow up my baby.... attached are sample photos of differences, not same pictures I was originally looking at.

I did not know that thank you so much supernova! So far my wife understands but I still haven't won her over on riding in it... Found these from Techno toys... https://technotoytuning.com/nissan/s130/tension-control-rods-datsun-280zx The extreme fix if needed.

Vogtlands link https://www.ebay.com/p/1534579105 That would be fun... but sadly no, just gotta wait for our next fun monies

I bought this full Poly kit cheapest way and now I have all the bushings. Just make sure you grease them before you put them in as they will squeak otherwise! https://www.ebay.com/itm/Prothane-TOTAL-Suspension-Bushing-Inserts-For-79-83-Nissan-Datsun-280ZX-BLACK/402290474886?fits=Model%3A280ZX|Make%3ADatsun&epid=657728997&hash=item5daa617f86:g:0x4AAOSwd4tT-trO

Hello I'm new to the forum, My friend and I just finished getting my 83 turbo up and running. In my search for an intercooler I found this kit from Godzilla Raceworks. I talked with them and they said it was an ebay intercooler they have had good luck with. I am checking to see if anyone has any experience with this setup. I was originally going to go with a treadstone intercooler and do my own piping, but for 550 if its a quality intercooler thats a good deal. https://www.godzillaraceworks.com/turbo/front-mount-intercooler-kits-for-1970-1983-datsun-z-cars Build goals are 350hp, running MS setup from SofttopZ love the setup very quality. Thank you for helping the newbie!!!

I have the Tokico shocks for lowered cars (friend of mine found them on craigslist) I am debating between Eibach & VOGTLAND lowering springs. VOGTLAND are supposed to be .2 of an inch lower so leaning towards those... I will get some pics once the wifey approves the purchase

Thank you this is a very helpful thread. technicalninja great explanation, helped me make my desision! If I was dd my 280zx then i would go recirc for the off boost pluses, however since I have a commuter.... I like to play when I drive my toy, that means I am on boost more so I'll enjoy a little noise!
