    The seats look like old school Recaros (two different models).

     

    As to the upholstery, unfortunately there are thousands of places that can recover a seat.  I have no idea the significance of the "atom" symbol.  Assuming the seats were...newish...when they were upholstered, it well could have been done decades ago.

    Cool, would they be worth anything if I sold them separate? I was wondering because the logo was all over the interior in the door cards and stuff. the logo is also imprinted on the gas cap

    s this going to be a daily driver? 
    Here is just my opinion on what I would do. Remember, 1000 ways to skin a cat: 

    No this is gonna be a car just for the weekend or to take for car shows etc.

     

    Thank you for all the useful information, and will take alot of it in consideration. I like the fact of keeping it nissan with the build. I have a lot of thinking to do as far as what the exact route I want to take.

    cast/stock piston+ring combo will wear out over a matter of months.

    So from you having multiple L-series turboed motors would it be a waste to go with the L-series. I can spend the extra on an RB I love both engines I wanted something I can build and have something a little bit more bullet proof. My problem I think is I want some reliable I can take on the weekends and I know it will start and rip without a problem that's why I am willing to spend the extra on building the most built-proof motor. The HP numbers don't really bother me as long as I can run like 300 I wanna keep up with most modern engines :).

    Aside from flowing better, the P90 will give you a CR around 7.5 on dished piston L28 block.

    I have a L28 lined up with a roller so a L28 block with a P90 will yield the best results? I will end up going forged pistons and rings etc. 

     

    My next question would be how friendly is a L-Series to build I know my way around a car and know quite a bit from my father but I have never taken apart a motor yet. I know there is a book I forgot the name of it but its like the manual for building an L-Series engine I will be using that as well and youtube is also gonna be very handy.

    If you browse around you'll find that the "turbo" motor is really only different in that it uses the P90 head, which has no liners in the exhaust ports, a J pipe, and a turbo exhaust manifold.  People have bolted the turbo parts on to either of the other NA engines and made them work just fine using aftermarket engine management.  

     

    If you want to make 350+ HP you'll need aftermarket engine management.  So, all you really need are the J pipe and the exhaust manifold from a 280ZX.  There might even be aftermarket suppliers for those parts.  That's how I'd break it down.  Just see what you can find and started piecing things together.  If you find a whole car and the price is right, why not?   The rest depends on how deep you plan to go in to the engine.  Too many possibilities to make a recommendation.

     

    Here's a member who has some opinions.  But, if you're like most people who start a project your plans will change along the way.  you just need a jump off point.

     

     

    Thanks, I was wondering what the difference would be. I knew that the p90 came from the 280zx and I planned on doing a couple of things for engine management. I appreciate all the recommendations.

    Thanks! I have read the first link a couple of times, I found it very useful. Do you have any tips on find a L28et motor or is buying a beatup 280zx turbo the best way to go about that.

    Hello all,

     

    This is my first post, but I have been wanting to build a Datsun s30 for about 7 years and now that I have the funds and stability to start the build and I need some help. So I like the L-series engine and I think that's what I am gonna stick with. I was debating the RB25det but with the motor being almost 5-8K without the needed parts for the swap. I am gonna go a built l28ET with probably a 280z because those are already fuel injected. It would make the swap simpler 

     

    I want to make a reliable 350-400HP with the L28ET with the extra funds of not going with the RB swap what are some necessary parts for a motor of this caliper. I know I need bigger fuel pump, bigger injectors, a T3/T4 turbo, proper intercooler setup, and an programmable ECU. I know that the p90 and f54 were over built for the time but should I go with forged internals? I am looking to spend about 6-7K on the motor.
