Hmmm my rail has a curved section that curves around towards the Throttle B. I Guess Im getting confused on what connects back to what and trying to figure out the damn haynes manual seems like its missing stuff.

Guys I have been searching for a few days now while at work and I just have one pretty simple question. What extra Emissions, Vacuum and EGR stuff can be removed and shaved from the intake and under the hood. I have not exactly found any one say what can be removed, but instead pictures of their intakes showing what they did and how they look. Just looking to clean up under the hood and get rid of un-needed parts. I have alot of extra junk on my intake that I dont see most people use. It is probably broke or inop anyway. I live in houston so cold start and all that is not to much to worry about and this is not my daily. So any one who could chime in and help me better understand what some of the things are and do and is not needed. Im just looking to learn and there is alot od knowledge here. It would be much appreciated.

Just incase anyone else needed the info, I managed to search all night last night and find one picture with some info and figure out the rest from other post. [1980 280ZX] ----------------------------------- Green Single Wire - Aux. Injector Fan. --On the Thermostat housing. Other Single Wire - Sender to Temp Gauge. --On the Thermostat housing. Thermal Vacuum Valve - Part of Vacuum System / Emissions stuff? --On the Thermostat housing. Bigger 2-Head Plug - Thermotime Switch. --On the Thermostat housing. Small 2-Head Plug - Head Temp Sensor. --This is the Sensor near Cylinder #5 to the left of Oil Filter. If this info is wrong please correct me. If not someone else will have it all in one spot this time.

What are the 2 Single wire ones? Thats what I am trying to replace one broke. No part number. ;; Found a Name and Number. NILES 105M

Also I am confused cause my thermostat has 3 sensors and the one near the cylinders. Info I have says it should not have all of them.

I went to the parts store to pick up what I thought I needed, a Temp Switch and Coolant Temp Sensor. When I went to put it on the threads were to small. It only fits on the Head Temp Location on the lower passanger side bottom of the motor. Does any one know what sensor is which on the thermo stat and were you can get this or Part number.

I figure someone will do this so may as well do it now. Depending on your goals will ultimately be the choice between these motors. Ive wanted to do this swap myself and have read a lot of info on this site about it. It's been asked a lot and the answer ultimately it will be your choice in the end. Well I am at work and I can not figure out how to post search results but just type in "RB20 or RB25" it will bring up a bit of info on diffrences and peoples reasons for making their choices.

Took about 45 minutes at pep boys but they found em. 15$ for all 6. Thanks guys !

Just interested in a few things as long as they will fit the factory L28 Motor. Car in Sig. -Intake Manifold, Non-EGR or Shaved/Plugged. -Header, Any that will fit at the Moment. -Injectors, Can be upgraded from stock, I don't need anything huge yet.

All righty will give it a shot. Thanks.

Thank you! for such a fast response lol. I was on my way there to order a horde of parts to get the car running, Having issues with the subby. Are they called holders?

What are and where do I get the little plastic Diamond shaped spacers that go on the Injectors and or is there another way to go around those since all mine are cracked.

Amen!

Even that look looks better imo. Its just the spots were the bumper hooks around and stuff that makes it look bad. Guess its just time find a way to fix it.

rusty, what front lip is that if I might ask?

Thanks this will give me something to do at work. Yah I use to work for car audio places for about 4 years. I started getting into fiberglass dash bezels and building trim stuff for radios and screens. Very fun stuff. Im hoping to build an entire dash possibly glass maybe sheet metal. Go Houston!

Ya. It's amazing some of the things people make. This is my first project car, I may just have to come up with my own creative way of getting what I want. That's what it is all about in the first place though.

That is what I was afraid of thanks for the help.

Hello, Ive read these forums for quite some time now but this is my first actual post. I have a '79 280ZX that I just recently decided to to start working on. I have been trying to get general idea of how I want the car to come together. My question is I really like the look of the Older Z with no bumper and the higher turn signals. I searched time and time again on this subject just could not seem to find it. Is it possible even with fabrication of the older front air dams, to get that look on a ZX? I even looked at MSA site. They dont seem to have that wide open look. I even tried looking through photos to see if anyone has done it but so many people do so much it gets confusing lol. Any help would be appreciated! Note - Hope this was the right thread for this.
