    My 83 280zx project

    in Nissan L6 Forum

    Posted

    Hello everyone,

     

    I have a Red 83 280zx N/A.

    My goal is:

    -Engine swap with L28ET

    -Stroke her to 3.0

    -Custom Body work

    -Put her to paint shop make-up her a new look (any color idea?)

    -Take a good care of her and not put it to race :mrgreen:

     

    It's been 2 months that i've been collecting all the parts for my L28T engine swap. Now i'm ready to roll. Crank shaft and head is on the way back from the shop in a few weeks. I've just barely started the paint job for my valve cover and the block. This is my first 10 hours of work that i've done in the backyard. May be I hate to see rusty sitting around my block. That's why i spent most of the time to have it finish nicely. Check it out below and give me your idea what do you think? I will update more info later when i got all the parts back from the shop.

    Hi everyone,

     

    I'll be finishing my L28 stroke in a month or so. My next step is i'm looking to get my body works processed. Which will make my own custom body kits for my 280zx. I'm not sure if there is any kind of services that willing to handle that? I'm in OC So Cal.

     

    Another way is that I'm thinking of get it done by my self because i have a budget. Can anyone let me know where i can get all the fiber glass materials to work with the bodykits?

     

    Any suggestions on how to make it? Should i do it by myself or have some one to do it and just pay them?

     

    Thanks for all the help in advance.

    Thanks for the nice photo. That's what i'm looking for. Where did you get that pic from?

    Thanks for all the suggestions. If i will spending $20K. I would take that $$$$ to down for a Mercedes or IS350. So, i don't have to worry about finding parts and spend times to put it together. :)) By the way, do you guys think should i put a L28ET in or resell it as it is? I love the body of my Z because i can't find any rust on it. The frame chassis just great (was owned by an old lady and i think she dead). Interior is awsome. Thanks again guys....

    Hi everyone,

     

    I've just recently bought my first 280zx for my project. First, I'm looking for a nice body style for my project. Second, I would need dimension size for RIMs that best fits to it. Third, will be an engine. I'm thinking of putting a GTO RB26DETT in but first need to find someone know how to do it. I'm not that good of swapping the engine and on the other hand i don't even have enough tools to working on it. Any suggestions or ideas? I'm in OC, Calif. Any referral or hooked up will be appreciated.

    Hi everyone,

     

    As i've never own one. Now i'm looking to get my project car for this summer. I know it's not easy to find but hopefully some one willing to sell theirs. My budget is depend on how good will the car be. Here is my expectation that i would like to have:

     

    1. The out looking body must be no rust and no dent (especially the bottom)

    2. The engine good or bad doesn't matter as i will have it rebuilt anyway

    3. Interior at least 70% remaining

    4. Must be shift 5spd, Turbo, T-top

     

    If you have the one that i'm looking for. Please let me know. I live in OC, CA. My email is logoleaf@gmail.com

    Thank you all.
