Thanks man, the car is sort of migrating it way to becoming a full track car but its a work in progress, Im just excited to drive it soon

Thanks for the offer man, if I need any help I will be in touch, but at the moment I have a friend of mine doing the wiring. I would however like to see both the mkIII and the sc400 setups, if you have pics or build threads, Im trying to decide between turbo and supercharger after I get it going

Man I haven't been on here in ages, well I had mostly been enjoying the car, took it out of state a couple of times to Zdayz and Fd atlanta, met cool people, had fun, but now the car is under the knife again and migrating its way to becoming a full track car. Also went to school for welding and actually started a life sometime back doing what I like to do. List of useless crap I have done -1uzfe swap(not quite done, just finishing up my oil pan, wiring and odds and ends) -350z 6speed -Collins adapter z33 and 240sx trans adapter -Collins pilot bearing adapter -lengthened throwout bearing hub(did it myself) -custom 1uz flywheel -Southbend clutch and pressure plate rated for 420rwtq -Custom all aluminum rear sump baffled oil pan(I made) -working on installing a full cage -Sparco circuit race seat -Grip Royal steering wheel with NRG quick release -S13 rearend swap -SPL rear control arms(RUCAs, traction, toe) -z32 rear aluminum uprights with poly bushings -Mazworx weld in diff plate -q45 vlsd -Stance Pro SS-D coils with 12k swift springs -Extended 40mm FLCAs -Modded angle knuckles -3" blast pipe exhaust -XXR 521 18x10 wheels all around -custom engine and trans mounts(I made) -and to top it all off stupid flake bassboat paint job. Im pretty sure im forgetting things but its ok Few shots of the car before I started the swap Few shots during swap I will have more pics soon as I near completion on the car, I really dont have too much left but its getting there. I literally have to finish exhaust, oil pan and wiring and im ready to go

I have XXR 521's in 18x10 +12 all around on my z31 http://www.flickr.com/photos/picsbyme-_-/9091091830/

If someone would make a rear sump pan I would just be happy with that, the mounts and such are the easy part!

did you fab the cage yourself or did you buy a pre-built one that you just weld in? car looks awesome never the less

how did you do the LED mod thing to the tail lights? like what did you buy? I'm doing this to my 280 and z31 asap it looks so awesome!

haha nice find man, and that's what I payed for my 280 also!

yep I just saw that after seeing them side by side, but thats most likely what I will end up doing!

ahh ok, yea i was able the use the stock driveshaft and tranny mount from the 280zx and it fit like a glove, but I will be swapping the diff for a z31 unit I have and see if the z31 driveshaft will work in its place instead!

Thanks man I will deff keep updates on the project! Also I have been wanting ask you does the tranny mount and stock driveshaft work in your setup?

if your talking about the heater pipe on the lower intake, well mine actually fits just fine. But after further inspection I'm pretty sure I could fit the stock latch will probably fit with the maxima intake, but I rather just use aerocatch hood pins anyways. but I have seen your car on z31p also, as my nuild thread is over there too, I will probably also be trying my hand for the first time at building a set of headers similar to yours!

Hey guys my name is Cameron, and this is my little track car project, I also own a z31 that a little modded and is pretty much going to be my DD stanced car with weekend track use. But this car is going to be a strict track car(autoX and road racing) that I can drive to and from the track, also I want the car to handle really great Mods or things I have so far: Tein coilovers, still need to buy pillow ball upper mounts and camber plates W-series vg30e fully rebuilt was previously in my z31 Holset HY35 Corbeau GT4 vintage bucket seat Momo Race wheel and hub 16 gallon fuel cell KA24 aluminum 2 core radiator(fits perfect in all z's s30-z31) Whole z31 efi harness with 84T ecu 16x8 diamond racing wheels meth injection kit s13 front suspension parts 38mm wastegate 50mm BOV Still need to buy: 255 fuel pumps lines and fittings cage possibly arita speed replica front or imsa front fiberglass hood eventually fiberglass doors lexan windows all around will eventually run haltech after i max out the stock ecu autometer gauges other misc small stuff here and there The stock 280zx tranny and z31 tranny's are the same just the bellhousing is different, so with the 280zx tranny mount on the z31 tranny it fits like a glove and only moved the engine and shifter location back about 1.5" to 2" make for as low and as far back as possible! ohh and the trans is a 71c not the t-5 A problem I did find though, is stock manifolds will not work unless you do some firewall modding with a BFH! Also stock intake will not work, but that can be remedied with a maxima front entry or s12 side entry intake flipped around! Another problem is this, but it's a pretty easy fix, the stock s130 mount location cannot be used though, as the alternator will be placed in the same location. I will take a L shaped piece of steel stock and mount to frame rail and build mount to mount to the stock z31 mount on the block Passenger side is near perfect, poly mounts will be replaced with a aluminum mount with the bottom shaved to a 45* angle to match the 280zx stock crossmember, and a 23* angle to match the stock z31 mount on block, at about a total of 3-4" tall or so. also the stock hood latch assembly.....well you can just take that off and throw it at the neighborhood kids! Not the final turbo location, was just mocking it up, I have to trim the stock MAF mount and modify it more and then I will use it as the brace for my turbo! This is where the shifter sits with the tranny moved back, shifter location moved by about 1", but still can shift into gears 2-4-R just fine! more pics and updates soon!

I have a complete swap, tranny, pedals, clutch master, clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, driveshaft............the whole shabang for your swap! if you wanna work something out let me know, I'm in florida, so shipping will not have to be across country.

As the title says, I need a set of power window motors, both drivers and passengers for my 83 280zx. Let me know what you have! Thanks guys, Cam

Alright guys I have searched all over but I can't seem to find anything. I have a cam from a L24e that cam with my 280zx. What I'm trying to find out is why the cam has a "K" stamped in it? does anyone have a clue what cam this could be? Thanks, Cam

Bump I found a cam, just need a timing set!

very nice and clean setup man, what tranny are you using? I'm in the process of doing a turbo vortec 5.3L into my z31!

Yea but I'm glad you picked it up, cause I know it will do you some good. Right after hearing that he sold it I found a minty condition 280zx that is now my DD! but good luck with the car man and keep us updated cause you really lucked out!

I am totally pissed lol just kidding man, its a very nice car, I was actually on my way to pick the car up when the guy called me and told me you had purchased it from his dad!

pm sent!

Well guys I need a few parts for my 83 280zx DD, not looking to spend an arm and a leg, just want to get the car back up and running again! Stock Cam if anyone has a timing set then I will take that possibly a complete black carpet if anyone has one that's all I can think of right now, will update this as I go along and find things to replace! Thanks

well you beat me to it man, I'm still working on mine lol!

83 280zx, in great condition, only problem are 3 small spots of rust, new carpet, seats need a recover, and needs a wash and cut/buff! Overall I'm happy that I got it so I can finally start working on my z31!
