nismopick Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 1979 280z turbo??? Interesting.... In 79 it was a 280ZX... but the first 280zx TURBO was intro'd in 81... Was he doing a turbo engine swap???? You can get L28 & L28ET pistons from a lot of places. Your local Nissan dealer... http://www.thezstore.com http://www.blackdragonauto.com and most any machine shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rfarrow2005 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 i want to keep it cheap till im half way threw college. i want to get it running now. but like i said my other car had gotten broken into the trased the center consol riping the CDplayer out. and the ignition was FUBAR! spending about 300 $ now just for a drivers side window and new ignition with keys. either way i can drive till december 25. i got a really nasty speeding ticket. i think what im going to do is crank. rods, and go ahead and get some good low comp. pistons. bigger turbo. and all the other things for more boost. im only noobish to the 280s i had a 240sx back in highschool. but really things for your help. and i totaly for got about blackdragon. thats were i had to ordoer my new ignition switch.... tumbler and key as they called it.
