I'm not really aware of any "good" L rebuilders local. the Z Owners Of Minnesota ( ZOOM ) Facebook group may have better insight.

3" is not to big. Once past the headers it is really hard to go to big.

In my defense it was under $30k when I posted

Isn't Jeffp making 350+ on his junkyard short block @ 8psi? Following his documentation takes the guess work out of it. Spend the money on a really good pro port job.

Completely empty, the water temp was normal since there was no water. Also racing so 100% load on the engine.
Driver went into the pit because the oil pressure lamp wnet crazy.
I will now install an oil temp
You might want to check your water temp gauge. With no coolant it should read ambient air temp, not the ~180 of coolant. You should have seen the temp drop drastically, buiring the needle to cold.

You know after the what big Phil went through I don't know why anybody would use lone wolf intakes.. stock intake will support 500+ hp proven by Jeffp with his extreme280zx page..
Jeff's intake isn't "stock" it's been exrudehoned. And I forget the numbers but is giving up a fair amount of flow from what his head can support, i.e. could can a fair amount of power if he changed intakes.

Check the harness wires from the ECU to the sensor. Ohm them out make sure there is not to much resistance.
-
With that much effort it makes me think you've met them and they knew you had good stuff.
Suck to hear about it.

And get the USPS money order redemeed before shipping. I have heard of those being forged too.

One thing not mentioned alot in the news, the more southern states it starts out as rain and freezes to ice under the snow, making it alot more slippery. Still my team in Greensboro panics over 2 snowflakes.

He doesn't know what he is doing. You don't lift these cars from the floor stiffeners, they aren't made to take the weight.

Yeah, more Z's in Mn!
-
Does it still have an EGR valve? I suspect it has to do wiith the extra vacuum put on the intake manifold when you engine brake.
-
Rack, u-joints in the steering column?
-
All power and money should be in the head. A well done documented head is worth some money.
-
I seem to remember JeffP doing some testing to the size of his intake. Depending on the HP levels you are looking for 3" maybe enough.

4 inches of snow here already,

Sorry I didn't see this yesterday, I totally would have stopped by to help out.
As NewZed said, the spark plug needs to be on metal / grounded on the outside of the plug to work.When the coil is powered up, remove the ground wire from the coil. this should make it spark.

Heard you rolling down the street, sounded OK. At least at easy cruise.

I just purchased another 280ZX. I rescued a 1983 280ZXT 5spd 2 seater with 97K, that had been sitting in a barn since 2004. It was posted on craigslist for a song and a dance, so I called the guy, he told me it was sold and someone was coming to pick it up the next day and that he would call me if it fell through. In the grand tradition of craigslist deals, the guy flaked and never showed or called. His loss, my gain.
I am working on getting her running right. I am pretty sure she needs a fuel pump and an oil pressure sending unit as it reads 0 psi, but the light is off and the lifters are SILENT ( I can hear the injectors clicking over the engine running), which would not happen if it indeed had ZERO oil pressure. The rust situation is minimal. one or 2 soft spots in the floor and surface rust on the wheel arches as well as a couple spots on the hood. Solid rockets and frame rails though! I'll probably make it daily drivable and pass it on to a deserving home, as I have too many projects as is right now and I already have a 280ZX that is "my baby".
Dang, didn't see that one. Hit me up, I think I have a spare oil pressure sender.
New to s130 chassis and wanted to say hello
in S130 Series - 280ZX

Adj. coil overs is kinda a pain on these cars. the tokico hp (blue) stuff works pretty good for street and starting.
