ZUL8TR Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Personally, I'm more of a fan of the spoiler than the wing on the older Z's. Seems more period correct then and now. The wings are more dated to the 80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Goat Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 1982 280zx turbo automatic. Currently a project. I have finished the body work, installed the msa body kit 2, whaletail spoiler, enjoku 16" rims with a 4" inset (had to use 38mm spacers to make them fit the front) and I am waiting for my freakin hood to show up from zforce...3 months and waiting...so that the car can go to paint. I am also waiting for the following parts to show up, Black Leather Nismo Racing seats, pallnet fuel rail 14mm O-ring style, N42 intake manifold, and a new dash cover. The plan is to finish up in the looks department, then start on the motor. I will megasquirt it, gt35r turbo, still undecided on which intercooler, and I NEED to find some good 3" or bigger exhaust..... Neverending project I fear!

ArchetypeDatsun Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 While we are on the topic, I took a look at MSA's offerings for the S130, it has been a while since I visited MSA's store...surprisingly these two hatch spoilers look great... Your thoughts? Yasin The grey one is not bad but If it was me I rather have the BRE victory spoiler or something similar to it like those small lip spoiler like you see on some the newer cars I think those look clean. I also like this spoiler comes out further and also comes around. Or Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galderdi Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I have a 1982 S130 2+2 (Right Hand Drive). It is blue and has the 5 speed manual. It has the targa roof. It is a non turbo (Thats all we got here). It is totally stock except for the headers and suspension. It won 1st place for the best 280zx at the 2005 Nationals. It is in need of a freshen up but is still running and I still use it on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
450HPZ Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Well I inheritade my 1980 N/A 280ZX from my dad when he passed away in 1999. The car was in very good condition to begin with. It was in CA all it's life so the only rust on the car was the spare tire storage area(which is gone now and is now the area for the battery). At first I was going to restore it but after surfing the net for performace parts and seeing the infomous "Darius videos" I knew I had to go V8. I started my swap back in late 2002, got it running early 2003, drove it for a year on and off working out bugs(lots of them by the way! LOL), then in 2005 I pulled it off the road to do body work and it hasn't seen the road since. I just finished up the body work and will be getting my car back from the body shop tommorow actually and I will post pics of before and after(I'll just add them to this post later). Major Mods.... 1993 LT1/T56(with 1995 electronics so I can use TunerCat to tune it) -ported heads and intake -58mm TB -36lbs/hour injectors -electric water pump -dual roller timing chain set -LT4 Hot Cam kit(1.6 RR and LT4 HC)(probably going to go bigger soon) -custom built drivers side header and block hugger passenger side header -Fully rebuilt T56 with billet keys and steel 3-4 shift fork MSA II body kit painted House of Kolor Cobalt Blue with VihnZXT front spoiler mod and custom 3 piece rear spoiler(see body forum for pics and info(you will have to search for posts)). MSA roll bar, Tokico shocks and lowering springs, MSA big sway bar kit, Konig Monsoon 17x7 rims with BFG KD 225/45/17 tires(I've got some other rims/tires in the works though, so the Konig rim/tire package might for sale soon). Full Autometer Phantom series gauges which include...Speedo, Tach, Water Temp, A/F gauge(didn't know what else to use to fill a spot at the time(should have used a fuel pressure gauge)), Volt, Oil Pressure, and Fuel Gauge. I also made projector headlights for my car out of FX35 projectors with 350Z ballist, ignitors, and bulbs! I think those are the major mods.

BluDestiny Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Get proper sized wheels. Since I don't think your gonna like looking at some 14"s all the time. Plus that gives you room for a brake upgrade. 16x8 is a good size to start at and everyone makes em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 yeah my plain is to get the xxrs that look like the stock zx wheel 16x8 0 offset. i just wanted to see if anyone did it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepper Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Hey Bling, I just picked up an '81zx- I'm thinking about putting on spacers on my stock rims for a better look until I pick up some wheels.
